About
i’m a fat, white, autistic, atheist, agender, queer, disabled spoonie & singleton with adhd who strives to create safe spaces for joyful movement & practical stillness for all humans. i'm anti-diet & pro-self-empowerment. i live, practice, & teach with several chronic physical & mental illnesses including autoimmune & endocrine diseases, depression, anxiety, & suicidal thoughts.
as part of my own recovery journey, i use my lived experience as much as possible to aid others in their journey. in addition to doing this through yoga & meditation, i’m a certified peer recovery supporter & facilitate trans/queer inclusion workshops.
My goal isn't to get you to do a certain pose. My goal is to help you connect with your body so you can become your own expert. It's about self-empowerment and finding your own strength. This is often done in moments of stillness and breath but we can move as much as you want as well.

How did you get started teaching?
I kept hearing people say they couldn't do yoga for one reason or another (too heavy, not flexible, etc). I would tell them they were wrong but most of them didn't feel comfortable going to a regular studio with most teachers. So I decided to start teaching to help bring the benefits of yoga to people who think they can't do yoga for whatever reason.
What types of students have you worked with?
I've worked with all kinds of students of all genders, sizes, ages, and abilities. I've had students who could do poses that I will probably never do myself and students who did their practice week after week on their mat.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Talk to them before you take their class or have a private session. Ask them what kind of training and experience they have working with diverse body types and abilities. Do they have experience modifying poses to meet their students' needs? Are they more interested in getting into certain poses or helping you to develop your own practice and empowering you?
