About Classes and Workshops
I started practicing yoga in 1996 to ease the stresses of work and everyday life. I soon added a daily meditation practice and discovered these practices were healing to both body and mind. I wanted to share this gift with others, so in 2001 I took a yoga teacher training course and began teaching part-time. Since then, I have become a 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT) and (YACEP) through the Yoga Alliance. Over the years I have taught at a number of yoga studios in the Spokane area and have also taught private students and groups. Although my formal training is in the Ashtanga Vinyasa method, I draw from a wide range of styles to meet the varied needs of my students.
I enjoy learning and expanding my ability to help you get the most out of mind/body experiences. So, in 2022, I earned my Group Fitness Instructor certification, and in 2023 a Functional Movement Specialist certification. I enjoy the opportunity to teach other types of physical activity to balance out the yoga. I work primarily with older adults and I love making movement fun and functional for them. In 2022, I also completed a Mindfulness Coaching certification program and am excited to add mindfulness workshops and retreats to my offerings.
Upcoming workshops
De-cluttering Workshop
Free your hands and your mind will follow..,it’s hard to see the next steps we need to take in our lives when we are surrounded by all the things that made up the previous iterations of our life. It feels overwhelming. Free your hands and your mind will follow. De-cluttering isn’t just downsizing for a move or tidying up the house. The process of de-cluttering walks us through decisions based on who I am in this moment and where I’m going in the future. It allows us to quite literally free our hands of things that are holding us back.

Monthly Restorative Yoga
I teach a Restorative Yoga class on the first Sunday of every month from 4:00-5:15 pm at Harmony Yoga Spokane. This practice is designed to restore the nervous system and help release deeply held tensions from the body and mind. We use props to support the postures, while gently stretching and strengthening the body. This class is appropriate for students of all levels.
Monthly Meditation
I facilitate a meditation practice on the first Sunday of each month at the Spokane Buddhist Temple from 9:30-10:00 prior to the weekly service. No charge, but donations to the temple are greatly appreciated. I will guide participants through basic meditation techniques. No prior experience with meditation is necessary.
Most weeks I teach additional classes at Harmony Yoga and for the YMCA at both the Central or South locations. These could be in-person or virtual, yoga or body conditioning. Follow me on Facebook for the most up-to-date weekly schedule.
