TEACHING
I’ve been teaching in Seattle and internationally for more than 20 years. My classes are heavily informed by yogic texts like the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali as well as my experience in classical Indian dance (Odissi, Chhau) and martial arts (Kalaripayattu). I would like my classes to be a place where people can harness the power of their senses, focus their minds and experience a state of Samadhi. I hope this can support a longer-term practice of cultivating a balanced and illuminated quality of mind. Offering clear instruction and unusual challenging sequencing that cultivates mental focus and integrated strength without strain, I emphasize customizing a practice to suit individual needs and bodies.
I did my initial yoga training with Kathleen Hunt at Samadhi Yoga. My Odissi Guru is Dr. Ratna Roy. I’ve studied Chhau with Sadashiv Pradhan and Kalaripayattu with Krishna Das at Vallabhatta Kalari.
