What brought you to yoga? It started as a way to address chronic tightness and muscle imbalances from a very active lifestyle. Since then, it has permeated almost every part of my life. Yoga has taught me flexibility and balance in ways I couldn’t even imagine before diving into the practice. What do you love about teaching yoga? I love to share this practice which has been so transformative in my life. Teaching is a practice in itself and a constant learning experience. I’m continually trying to find ways to teach age old principles in a way that resonates with students. Observing a class land in a meaningful way with my students is the most rewarding part of this work. What do you want people to know about your class and/or teaching style? I work to integrate skills and techniques I’ve leaned as a fitness professional to create powerful yet safe classes for all levels. More importantly, I try to instill these lessons in a way that benefits students off the mat as well. Integrating breath work, mindfulness and meditation techniques help to deepen the experience and make it much more than just physical exercise. Fun facts about your life outside of yoga I’m a new father and outdoor lover, always ready for the next challenge. I love spending time with my family, surfing all year, snowboarding, mountain biking, lifting, running, fishing and anything else that pushes the boundaries of what’s comfortable and what’s possible.
