YIN YOGA in Brooklyn

Community is the new Guru

PRivate and small group YOGA classes in Brooklyn and online

I’ve been practicing yoga since 1996, but it wasn’t until I took my first teacher training at Jaya Yoga Center in 2010/11 that I truly committed to the practice. For decades, I struggled with chronic back and knee pain. Even with consistent asana practice, there were times when the pain was so debilitating that it would keep me from exercising for weeks.

In 2009, I attended a Yin Yoga workshop with Sarah Powers in New York City—and there, I realized I had forgotten one essential piece of yoga: slow down.

The stillness of Yin Yoga transformed my practice, my nervous system and my body. My studies with Sarah and Ty Powers through the Insight Yoga Institute, Jo Phee of Yinspiration, and Paul and Suzee Grilley have deepened my understanding of stillness, functional movement, meditation, and breathwork with a truly medicinal approach. Adding Qi Gong and meridian exercises has helped me listen to my body in a whole new way, honoring the cues of my unique anatomy. This slow, mindful method has been a gift, opening the door to healing from the inside out.

Yoga FOUND ME, AND I FOUND MY WAY

I teach through the lens of Chinese medicine. Yin Yoga invites us to step inside the landscape of our bodies and mind. It is truly a medicinal practice and doesn’t require any experience, just a little bit of courage and curiosity to sit with what shows up.

I teach monthly in my studio and offer private sessions in person and online. My monthly classes are a hybrid experience where I incorporate other modalities into the mix including group acupuncture, sound, facial gua sha and red light therapy.
