I love yoga and I love graphic design. I am thrilled when my two passions combine to help yogis grow their businesses by funneling their passion into visuals that lead to tangible results.

As an antidote to our busy life, join this monthly yin practice. Known as “The Quiet Practice,” this restorative flow consists of prop-intensive floor-based postures to promote full body listening and letting go of held mental and physical tensions. While staying present in the body and posture, healing sounds will be added (ocean drum, singing bowls, chimes….) to cultivate a therapuetic calm in body and mind.

I am excited to announce that I will be teaching yoga at the beautiful, and nearby, studio: Well and Wonder. Please come join me if you can for a Yummy vinyasa flow Saturday mornings and a Yin with Sound Bath one Sunday evening a month.!

As an act of self-love and self-care, I treated myself to a sound bath training immersion with Susan Mondi Bowen at her beautiful space at Thrive Yoga in Rockville Maryland in January. Sound baths can help you achieve deeper states of relaxation, which can lead to better sleep, reduced stress levels, and improved moods.

I am thrilled to share my love for one of my favorite spiritual, emotional, and physical guides/teachers, Jennifer O’Sullivan of Sati Yoga. She lives here in the DMV area, and I have been lucky to train with her in my studies of Yin Yoga, Mindfullness and Taoism, as well as Internal Family Systems. We have been blessed to support her in her quest to help/heal others through the development of her print and marketing materials.

To keep myself sane, I practice and teach yoga. To compliment years of practicing yoga (from gentle to power, yin to aerial), I have also trained in martial arts (Okinawan Kempo Karate and Ten Shin Ichi Ryu), ballet, modern dance, African dance, and bellydance (Egyptian and ATS/Tribal)—all of which inform my approach to the movements and instruction. I approach each class with a playfullness to engage, a smile to warm, and movement sequences to captivate. My hope is to channel emotion and spirit through the awareness of every moment through asanas and conscious breath, creating a fusion of heart, mind, and body.

Using silk hammocks (at Crunch Chevy Chase), you have a great space to play and explore — its a wonderful opportunity to check in with where you are in your mind, body and spirit.
