I am a mover and a contemplative. Mindfulness powers my movement practice and my contemplation practice. Working mindfully translates to a variety of experiences whether it’s learning to be embodied from the first time or if you are a long time athlete or whether you are learning to deal with stress in the workplace or relate to yourself more kindly. 

 

My approach is grounded in timeless principles from ancient texts, thousands of hours of studying with master teachers in the US and India, balanced with contemporary spiritual and scientific perspectives.

 

With experience of over a decade as a mover: from dance to Pilates to yoga to Thai massage and more, my exploration of many healing modalities informs how we work in yoga.  My exploration and training in mindfulness meditation also influences how I approach problems with clients.  Knowing that there is a lot of inner capacity for change in each of us, yoga is inherently therapeutic. This is different from many contemporary teachers who approach yoga as a fitness exercise. 

 

At JPG Yoga, we look at the bigger picture of who you are and how to stay connected to that deep inner knowledge of the Self. This is grounded in deeper study of yoga texts and philosophy, including the ancient language of Sanskrit, which I make relatable to the needs of a modern client.
