What an incredible journey it has been! Growing up in New York City, I fell in love with dance from the moment I saw Fred Astaire tap dancing on television in the basement of my childhood home in Queens. I pursued a career on the stage and before I knew it I was on tour with Whitney Houston, traveled the world, and did several Broadway and TV shows. After a dance related knee injury, I transitioned into Corporate America as a Vice President in Finance.

In 2001, after complaining of knee pain, my husband basically nagged me into taking my first hot yoga class. I found it incredibly challenging and slept for nearly 24 hours afterwards.. Since I rarely shy away from a challenge, I practiced every day for 6 months. After about 3 months of practicing, I found that not only had my mobility improved but I found a mental quiet that I had never experienced before. Yoga restored my physical wellbeing as well as enhanced my spiritual well being.

In 2014 I could sense my time in Corporate America was coming to an end and it was time to figure out my next chapter. Whether it was performing or working in finance, I always felt my ‘Why’ in life has always been to support people on their journey. What better way to do that than to teach yoga. After all those years of practicing, I decided to get my first Yoga Teacher Certification. I had taught dance for many years prior to my injury so this was a natural progression, marrying my love of movement and the healing properties of yoga.

During my own journey in practicing and teaching, I am drawn to the more restorative aspects of yoga, the mental, physical, and spiritual. Since my initial training, I’ve been certified in Vinyasa, Sequencing, Yin, Therapeutic/Restorative Yoga, Functional Anatomy, and Yoga Nidra. I’ve developed my own signature yoga class called Restore and Reset which combines Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra; Mentored new yoga teachers since 2011 years as well as taking part in yoga teacher trainings as a presenter. My next endeavor is to delve into the world of breath work.

Thank you to all of my mentors, students, and fellow practitioners for their patience, knowledge. I look forward to sharing the magic of yoga with you and may we be each other’s teacher along the way.
