I am a registered yoga teacher (RYT 500) with a particular interest in encouraging students to further develop their yoga practice through pursuit of poses they may find challenging. I love teaching peak poses in my regular classes, and leading workshops, including arm balance, inversion, partner yoga, and acro yoga workshops.

My yoga back story: I first attended yoga classes in the 1980s when living in the San Francisco Bay Area (thanks Steve!). I loved it, but in the 1990s I lived in Moscow, Russia – no yoga classes there. My practice got more serious early in this century, and I took the yoga teacher trainings in 2021 and 2022, and the acro yoga teacher training in 2024.

My website is focused, as I am, on the modern asana (poses) practice that most people think of as yoga today. There is of course so much more to yoga – right living, breathwork, and meditation, to start – and I encourage you to take advantage of all the resources out there to learn about yoga more broadly.

More to come!  Links to my videos, upcoming events, more!
