Hello and welcome!
I teach movement for people who want to feel more at home in themselves.
Who want to enjoy their capabilities and their own company.
My classes blend yoga, Pilates, strength, barre, dance, and nervous system care into something challenging, playful, and deeply human.
Something I hold dear: sacred is not synonymous with serious. We laugh a lot. We shake that ass. We cry. We celebrate small wins. We get stronger. We remember that our bodies are places we get to live, not projects we have to perfect.
I'll never tell you what your body needs.
I'll create a space where you feel safe enough to discover that yourself.
How I got here:
I found my love for movement in a little dance studio beside the Cape Cod Mall, where I grew up. Looking back, I think adulthood has mostly been an exercise in returning to what made me feel happiest and freest as a little girl. Which is to say, I feel incredibly lucky that this is how I get to spend my life.
As a teenager, I struggled with self-esteem, school, and eventually received an ADHD diagnosis. Medication that was meant to help ultimately fueled an eating disorder, and I dropped out of two colleges before earning a degree. For a long time, I thought I was simply broken. (I know this is dark, but I promise it gets better!)
Then a classmate dragged me to a tiny donation-based yoga studio in New York City called Yoga to the People.
That studio changed the trajectory of my life.
Its philosophy—that movement should belong to everyone, regardless of experience, income, body, or background—left a permanent mark on the kind of teacher I would become. I completed my first teacher training in 2011 after moving to San Francisco, and I've been teaching ever since.
What I eventually realized was this: I wasn't broken. I was having a deeply human experience.
Movement didn't "heal" me. I don't believe there's some mythical finish line where we become perfectly healed, perfectly confident, or perfectly at peace. I still have hard days. I still navigate ADHD. I still have moments when I struggle with my body or question myself.
The difference is that now I have practices—and a community—that help me come home to myself again and again.
That's what I hope to offer you.
What my classes are like
People sometimes tell me my classes are "not real yoga."
They're right.
At least not in the traditional sense.
You'll find yoga here, but you'll also find strength training, Pilates, barre, dance, mobility work, breathwork, and playlists that become one with the movement, never acting as background noise.
You'll never hear me tell you there's only one right way to move.
You don't need to earn your place here by being flexible enough, calm enough, spiritual enough, or fit enough.
You belong before you arrive.
Whether you're showing up because you're anxious, overwhelmed, grieving, celebrating, recovering, or simply wanting an hour that’s all yours, I hope class becomes an anchor. A place that reminds you of your resilience, your joy, and your innate goodness.

Whether I'm teaching a weekly employee class, leading an executive retreat, or helping a team reconnect during a busy workweek, my goal is always the same: to create a space where people leave feeling more grounded, more energized, and more at home in themselves.
Along the way...
Over the past 15 years, I've had the privilege of teaching thousands of classes and helping people move in living rooms, studios, and workplaces around the world.
Some highlights include:
• Teaching professionally since 2011
• Leading approximately 22 classes a week for nearly a decade, refining my teaching through thousands of hours with students
• Completing trauma-informed training that transformed the way I teach and hold space

• Creating Living Room Yoga, a community built around freedom, curiosity, resilience, empathy, and fun
My own curiosity keeps my teaching evolving. I continue to explore strength training, Pilates, mobility, breathwork, and anything else that helps people build a healthier, more trusting relationship with their bodies.
Because I feel that same way about my body that I do about my house, I want it to evolve and feel ALIVE.
We’re changing all the time. Let’s have some fun with it.
