Bio

I’m a certified 500-hour yoga and meditation teacher with over a decade of teaching experience, and I’ve been guiding students since 2013. As co-founder of Sonder Studios Yoga Teacher Trainings, I’m committed to cultivating spaces where deep listening, embodied presence, and personal connection take priority over performance or perfection.

Meditation, for me, is not just a practice — it’s a way of remembering who we are beneath the noise. It’s a return to presence, and a tool for seeing ourselves and others more clearly. My approach to hands-on assists during classes reflects that same philosophy: not about fixing, but about fostering connection — to the body, the breath, and the deeper intelligence within each student. It’s about meeting people where they are, not where we think they should be.

I’m passionate about honoring the individuality of every student, and I remain — always — a student myself. Teaching has taught me to listen more carefully, to see more clearly, and to stay curious. It’s this ongoing learning that continues to shape the way I show up in the studio, in trainings, and in life.
