BIO
Born and raised in NYC. Working in high-stress and fast-paced environments. I worked many years in real estate, sales, and commercial property management. I was searching for ways to relieve stress, when I was introduced to yoga by a co-worker. I would take classes around the city but nothing hooked me in at the time. It planted a seed of curiosity and interest that would later become my livelihood.
I got married in 2010 and had my daughter. Motherhood became my main focus. The first year was rough. I wasn’t eating right and was sleep deprived. I lost track of myself and I noticed subtle changes in my physical and mental health. I felt fatigued and stressed out. I took up dance and boxing for the physical activity, but my mind wasn’t present and at ease. Meditation and breath work were the missing pieces. I connected the dots, and in 2014, I studied to become a yoga teacher.
After completing and receiving my 200 hour teacher training certification, I went right into teaching vinyasa, gentle, hot yoga, and restorative classes in studios for private and group sessions. I’ve done workshops on adjustments, breath work, meditation, and props. Learning new ways to approach and improve my practice.
Six years later, the pandemic hit, and we were challenged to find new ways to teach virtually. I started my own business, teaching live classes online, working to grow outside of a lockdown community. Things moved slowly, but I kept going for the few loyal clients I'd had since I began teaching at the studio. I taught live virtual classes for the next three years.
In 2023, we bought a house and moved into a new location
I’ve added calisthenics resistance training to my yoga class schedule. using your body, resistance bands, kettlebells, and light weights. Over the last few years, I've built a safe and steady practice around it, and now I want to introduce it to you.
Yoga helped me slow down. Strength training helped me rebuild. So I created STRENGTH & FLOW class that combines the two.
Let’s go to health together and see what happens.
