My personal practices in both creativity and in health are always in cahoots with my pedagogy for movement sessions.I utilize Western alignment-based dance & functional fitness forms with a base layer in Mind/Body education from Eastern Spiritual & Martial Art Practices. ​Through this mash up of styles I integrate mindful attention and intention to our inner worlds (physical, mental, and emotional bodies) in relationship to the external world, in which we all exist.​

My first experience in Yoga was at a studio class, for dance training, at the age of 14.

I remember feeling more connected to myself and the strangers, there than I had in any other group gathering.
The presents in presence.

I pursued a degree in Dance and Environmental Studies to connect greater with the globe in

the most universal and clear language: Movement + Earth. 

I began attending a wider variety of Mind/Body courses and dove far into forms of Eastern approaches 

to the true potential of inner transformation.

Nearly the day after graduating, I hopped on a plane to Asia (without funds to do so). Since then I've developed curriculum, studied immensely, immersed in retreat, and led experiences through 17 different countries.

Traveling

through each moment

by foot, by heart, by soul, by Groove.

I'm currently managing The Feldenkrais Institute of San Diego, dancing, and teaching online and in-person classes.

Here, I'm exploring how I can (truthfully) grow with and support our community through these practices.
My overall hope is to have the inspiration of connectivity in the mind/body develop and spread outwardly.
In this space, we can see and respect ourselves, each other, and our only home, which we all share: Earth
