PRONOUNS

She/her

TEACHING STYLE

Fun, expansive, thoughtful, and spicy! Creative and smooth flows tethered together like a dance. I believe that fostering a strong mind-body connection begins with gazing inwards and working with our strengths and funks to determine what we really need from our practice.

QUALIFICATIONS & ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Registered Yoga Teacher, Barre Teacher Certification, BFA in Performance Dance

WHAT TO EXPECT IN MY CLASS

Authentic movement generated from the inside out and guidance from the breath. Expect creative flows, seamless transitions, alignment cues delivered through imagery and plenty of variations to honour you, wherever you are in your journey.

HOW I GOT INTO FITNESS

Dance will always be my first love, but my passion for sustainable movement and longevity lead me to discover other modalities that complimented my rigorous dance training. Movement is where I find peace of mind and a true outlet for my creativity.

FAVOURITE WAY TO SWEAT

Besides dance, I’m inspired by yoga, Pilates, barre, strength training, and anything that has me moving ecstatically.
