How did you get started teaching?
I am a professional photographer and I photograph a lot of yoga. I was determined to bring my best self to my art so I opted to take a teacher training. Since I had been practicing already for some time, I wasn't surprised when I felt the call to teach. I began teaching to middle schoolers to get my feet wet after I got my 200 hour. I continued to work with at-risk youth in underserved communities, started teaching within the penal system, and began adding studio classes.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with older students, disabled students, teens, young adults, incarcerated peoples, adults.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I am inspired by the panel on Yoga and Politics and how we can stay present amidst chaos that Off the Mat Into the World put on recently in Santa Monica.
I am also inspired by all of the yogis I recently taught at the Against the Stream 3rd annual Women's Retreat.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
My students tend to be working with trauma, addiction, mental health issues, or injury. My goal is to provide refuge in the practice, with fitness being a happy byproduct.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
I invite you to be transparent. If you have injuries, share about them. If you are nervous, say so. We can't help you fully unless we have a complete understanding of what we are helping you accomplish.
