Born in the United Kingdom, I moved to the USA in 1996 for postdoctoral studies in organic chemistry. Living in Princeton, NJ I was persuaded onto a yoga mat by a room-mate - my curiosity piqued about how yoga could complement the activities that I loved.

The openness, focus and clarity that the practice provides and the calmness and stillness it creates are elements that I continue to explore in my practice and teaching.

I believe that our yoga practice can be a time for self care - an opportunity to balance the desire for action and movement with much needed time to slow down and invite our busy minds to quiet. My teaching places an emphasis on the qualities of curiosity and presence in the physical practice, with a clarity of instruction to build a proper foundation of alignment for “every” body. My goal is to empower students to dive deeper into their own practice and discover the long term benefits of mindful movement and breath awareness.

A forever student, I received my 200h certification from Verge Yoga (PA) in 2009 and completed a 300h training at The Yoga Garden (PA). I am especially passionate about Yin Yoga and have completed trainings with Corinna Benner and Sally Miller. Other studies include insightful perspectives on teaching and the practice, with Sue Elkind and Naime Jezzeny at Dig Yoga NJ.
