I teach mainly Vinyasa Yoga and Pure Classical Pilates, but tailor my classes and private sessions to each individual’s needs, goals and interests to bring them the most satisfying and rewarding class I can offer – one that will keep them interested in their practice and allow them to grow with it but also to HAVE FUN because if you have fun with what you’re doing, as well as seeing results, THAT’S what will keep you returning. I received my certification in Yoga through Balance Yoga Studio in Woodbridge, NJ and certification in Adaptive Yoga through Adaptive Yoga Resources. I am also certified to teach Pure Comprehensive Classical Pilates Method (Mat, Universal Reformer and other apparatus) – also through The ReGeneration Institute of Pilates (Affiliated with PAI) in South Plainfield, NJ. I am registered with the National Yoga Alliance and CPR/AED/First Aid/First Responder certified.

It's not about filling the time with exercises or moves. I take students through sessions at their pace, making sure it feels good (while still challenging!) and that they understand WHY they are doing something.

If brand new to me, I will go over their health history, and find out what their goals are. We will then steadily work together towards those goals making sure they can do a few moves correctly on their own until the next time we meet.

I have a student that has a degenerative nerve disease. Balance is a huge issue for this student but three weeks ago, this student went into Tree Pose in Yoga without needing to hold on to something!

Huge ancient and medieval history fan, adore reading, cooking, spending time with friends.
