Teaches at Brooklyn Boulders

I have always been passionate about alternative forms of exercise that challenge the mind as well as the body. From synchronized swimming in high school to rock climbing in college and pole dance here in Chicago, I always found unique ways to stay active.

I grew up close to Chicago in Oak Park, IL and went to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where I received two BFA's; one in Painting and one in Graphic Design. From there I decided to pursue a career teaching art, and got my Masters degree in Teaching from Southern Illinois University. From there I fell into the world of non-profit management and now Human Resources.

I began taking yoga classes in college to increase my flexibility and balance, and haven't looked back. Through teacher training and exploration, I learned many different styles of yoga and try to incorporate certain aspects of each into my own variety of classes; from kid's classes, to hand-balancing focused, deep stretch and restorative classes.

I use music to fuel energy in each class, and to bring rhythm into the yoga flow. I love when students bring in new music, new ideas and suggestions to my classes!

Each day brings a new challenge as I strive to build body awareness, strength and focus in my students' practice and my own.
