- About Me:
- My mission is to support and cultivate the practice of yoga for myself and others who are dedicated to and who value daily practice of yogic meditation.
As a Yoga Alliance Certified Teacher (RYT200) I have been teaching yoga for two and a half years, priviledged to witness transformation on the faces and in the lives and bodies of students during a single class and over dedicated practice.
Whatever brings you to your mat, yoga deepens your relationship to your body, opens space for recognizing your truths and expands your ability to embrace life. Yoga uses the lively tension created by opposing forces - for instance, legs going down, arms held aloft - to create balance and harmony.
I use both detailed, anatomically referenced alignment and flowing series of yoga pose to create space for exploration of body, mind and heart. I have practiced Ashtanga, Iyengar, Vinyasa and Anasura as well as Tai Chi and Chi Kung, and every class weaves together hatha yoga poses, breath awareness and meditation. I come to teaching yoga after practicing and teaching Western Philosophy and I support you with a deep understanding of the philosophical underpinnings of yoga, meditation and Eastern Philosophy.
Additionally, I still practice and teach Paramedicine on the streets of Albuquerque. My training at UNMH's Emergency Medical Services Academy gives me a focused understanding of physiology and the body's mechanisms for regulating stress, emotion and movement.
Yoga responds to the call to "Know Thyself" in a deeper, more integrative way than Academic Philosophy did for me, and balances the immediacy of responding to emergent events in others' lives.
