History

Established in 2010.

When I was 22, I entered the high-​pressure field of managing Broadway shows and national tours. After a year of long hours and low pay, my health took a beating. I was able to keep going through sheer will, but my body was paying the price. Then a friend of mine on the Sunset Boulevard tour, a student of Iyengar yoga, offered to give me free individual yoga classes based upon my personal schedule. I tried to think of every excuse to not take up his offer, but he wouldn’t let me off the hook without at least giving yoga a try. He even bought me a mat! From my first class, I knew that I had been offered something very special. My friend’s only request was that I pay it forward if I found yoga useful. My friend’s request was the tiny seed that has bloomed into Compass Yoga 11 years later.

Business Owner

In May 2010, I completed my 200-​hour teacher training with Sonic Yoga in New York City and trained with Shiva Rea in Santorini, Greece.

Prior to Sonic, I taught a weekly restorative yoga class at the University of Virginia from 2005 – 2007. I now teach at Columbia Law School, New York Methodist Hospital, and offer weekly Sunday night classes and private sessions through Compass Yoga.

My primary interest in teaching yoga is to help students at every level discover their own confidence, strength, and courage. I view teaching yoga as a service and it is a great privilege to work with students on their personal goals.

In addition to teaching yoga classes, I am available for:

— Speaking engagements

— Freelance writing assignments

— Business consultation services for start-​ups: product development, content creation, marketing, branding, project management, basic design and construction for websites and blogs, and financial planning
