Top three things I love about teaching yoga:
- The gratification of helping people find peace through movement and breath.
- The space that I create for students to process their human experiences.
- Reuniting students with their physical bodies by being fully present in their practice.

When I'm not teaching yoga...
- I am organizing ultimate frisbee, taking pictures of my cats, traveling with my partner, making jewelry, or working at my real job as a chemical engineer for an industrial water treatment company.
Favorite yoga pose:
- Depends on the day! I love trikonasana, ardha chandrasana, and skandasana. Anything to strengthen and open my hips.
One thing I can’t live without:
- Kitty snuggles!
One thing on my bucket list:
- Open a haven for abandoned senior animals.
Fun fact:
- I was born in Germany. The Air Force base hospital was full, so I had to be delivered in town on German soil. I was a dual citizen until 18. 🇩🇪

Top three things I love about teaching yoga:
- I love seeing students progress in their practice - gaining strength, confidence and mobility. The look on a student’s face when they land a pose for the first time! It fills me with such joy!
- I love to sequence. I used to dance and choreograph, and now sequencing has become my creative outlet. I especially love creating flows that feel good in the body.
- When students tell me when my classes give them physical, mental or emotional benefits. I love hearing have that yoga has improved their sleep, made their back feel better or got them out of their heads after a stressful day!
Yoga teaching philosophy:
- Yoga is for everyone and every body. Yoga integrates mind, body and soul. It is a practice that can be done throughout one’s life, and therefore should be sustainable. Both movement and relaxation are healing components of the yoga practice. I love to create flows that get students out of their heads and into their bodies and hearts. I offer modifications and use props to make the practice more accessible for all. Lastly, yoga should be fun!
When I'm not teaching yoga...
- I love to travel and be outdoors. From the desert, to the mountains and the beach, I love to explore and visit new places and experience new cultures. You can catch me hiking, swimming, dancing and roller blading all over the U.S. and in other countries. I enjoy taking yoga classes wherever I travel, meet other yoga teachers, get inspired and take what I have learned back to my classes in Louisville!
Favorite yoga pose:
- I love headstand and practice it daily. I find it meditative and balancing for my whole body. I also love to do core work from headstand.
One thing I can’t live without:
- I cannot live without chocolate. I have a major sweet tooth and love desserts.
One thing on my bucket list:
- To teach a yoga retreat in India, which I am doing in October 2023.
Fun fact:
- I have two pugs. Their names are Alice and Uni. They are super cuddly, sweet sisters and they snore.
