For nearly thirty years I have been a runner, participating in six marathons and dozens of shorter distance races. Although I had taken occasional yoga classes for decades, I became a serious practitioner ten years ago. At that time, my schedule was hectic and stressful, raising three boys, working freelance as a singer, and taking courses to complete my degree in music. Yoga brought balance to my life.

I have had the privilege of working with many gifted teachers at yoga studios in Chicago and on the North Shore . With the exception of two years of Iyegnar training and intermittent Ashtanga classes, most of my yoga experience has been in the Vinyasa/Flow style. In December, 2007, I completed a 200-hour Teacher Training Intensive at Yogaview in Chicago . This program included study of yoga philosophy, anatomy, meditation, pranayama, and asana.

Currently, I continue to deepen my practice and knowledge of yoga with ongoing classes and workshops. I look forward to sharing this transformative practice with my students in an atmosphere of acceptance and encouragement. Namaste.
