Here’s my story...
My body broke too.
I started yoga at 23. By 32, between a stressful corporate job, long days of sitting, and my modern yoga practice, I had fibromyalgia and was on 10 medications. Then came perimenopause, a car accident that ripped my shoulder from its socket, and hip pain so severe I could barely walk ten steps. Twenty years of pushing my body into poses had left me in chronic, debilitating pain.
Here is how I saved myself.
When a surgeon wanted to operate on my lower back but couldn’t guarantee relief, I didn’t quit yoga. I changed it. I started asking questions instead of following instructions. Is this true? Does this pose serve my body, or only the shape? That kind of questioning is at the heart of yoga’s oldest texts, and it led me here:
Pain is most often a strength problem. Not a flexibility problem.
When I started building strength, the hip and back pain went away. With my doctor’s guidance, I came off all 10 medications. My two previously broken wrists don’t hurt. My shoulder came back fully. I came through menopause with a body I actually love.
The Yoga Sutras describe posture as sthira sukham asanam: steady and at ease. Not deep. Not impressive. That is what I teach.
I have practiced for 40 years, taught for 16, and trained yoga teachers for 9. I spent the last 20 of those years unlearning what I was taught in the first 20. Everything I teach, I lived first.
And I can help you.

Why Learn From Me?
Life Experience
I have lived what I teach. Two broken wrists. Gluteal tendinopathy that had me bent at 90 degrees. A shoulder rebuilt after a car accident. Fibromyalgia that required 10 medications. Menopause. All of it gone. I am living proof that pain is not a life sentence.
Professional Knowledge
38 years of practice. 13,000 hours of teaching. I am not a weekend-certified instructor following a script. I have spent nearly four decades studying, practicing, and refining what actually works and 15 years passing that knowledge to students.
Diverse Yoga Classes
I teach strength, not performance. Most yoga culture is built around flexibility, aesthetics, and poses that look impressive. My primary goal is how does it help not how it looks. Every class I teach is built on one principle, pain is most often a strength problem, not a flexibility problem.
Coach Mindset
I teach women who are ready. Women who are done being handed generic routines that were never designed for their body. Women who want intelligent movement from a teacher who has been exactly where they are. Women who are ready to feel strong again.
