I offer yoga therapy, private instruction, and teach ongoing group classes in Northern Virginia.  My motto and guiding principle in teaching is "Wear a smile inside and out with YOGA!^SM"  I encourage my clients and students to smile, laugh and have fun while practicing yoga poses.  A complete yoga practice also includes conscious breathing and deep relaxation, which naturally create an inner smile.

I have practiced yoga since 1992 and taught since 1996.  In teaching, I combine alignment of the body with breathing, relaxation, and meditation techniques to calm and balance the mind.  I have found the most joy working with people one-on-one, designing customized yoga programs tailored to each individual's specific needs.

My level of training and teaching experience qualify me to register as an Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT) 500, the highest level recognized by Yoga Alliance http://www.yogaalliance.org/.  I am also a professional member of the International Association of Yoga Therapists.  http://www.iayt.org/

Please check the details of my offerings on this site and join me to experience the joy, inner peace, and healing that yoga can bring.
