I’ve been teaching yoga and movement for over a decade and consider myself first and foremost, a devoted practitioner. I believe this practice has saved my life on multiple occasions and continues to open the door to an experience of living far richer than I ever imagined. My teaching style is strong, playful, and rooted in connecting with the intuitive wisdom of our body. The name J Rock Yoga comes from my first and last name being squished together; it actually was one of my high school nicknames!

For me, the art of yoga moves far beyond our physical bodies. It connects us to something greater; an awareness of the quiet divine that lives deep within our hearts. Our body can become one of the most powerful gateways into that connection. Though we live in this world, we are not entirely of it, and yoga is a practice that continually reminds me of this truth weaving in and out of my life.

I feel the best teachers share the necessary tools + lead you back to yourself until you no longer need them anymore. This is my aim as your guide! If certifications are of importance; I am an E-RYT 500 + YACEP with the yoga alliance, have a passion for sharing the magic of movement and love helping others discover their strength.

I love teaching students (aren’t we all students) AND I LOVE teaching teachers. Helping teachers find their unique voice, refine their skills + access genuine confidence in themselves is one of my favorite things.

I believe once the practice of yoga is in your heart, you have it for life. The more awareness + intention we give to our physical practice the bigger benefit to our heart, mind + soul…
