As former owner and founder of
Wild Mountain Yoga Center,
I feel honored to continue to teach weekly classes and workshops at this
well-established yoga studio in Nevada City, CA.
With a compelling desire to inspire others,
I bring an artistic spirit, an athletic background, and spontaneous humor
to my classes. I enjoy helping students connect gracefully with body
and breath, to find harmony in mind and spirit.

Yoga is an amazing way to stay in shape physically, teaching us to
listen to the wisdom of our bodies, and strengthen our ability to trust
intuition. Not only do we develop physical core strength but over time
we can develop emotional and mental strength as well. Practicing hatha
yoga, is like a moving meditation as we learn to focus our minds in the
present moment. The postures are brilliantly designed to tone,
strengthen and increase flexibility, but they also stimulate and massage
all the joints, glandular system and organs, and align the skeletal
system. When we are aligned, all our energy moves freely
and we feel alive and supple!

I received my first teaching certification from The Expanding Light,
Ananda’s Yoga and Meditation Retreat Center in 1995. I began teaching
and opened Wild Mountain Yoga Center the same year. I continued my
teacher training with certificates of completion from Erich Schiffman in
1998, and from Sarah Powers in 1999. I sold the business in 2007 to
concentrate more on teaching and to create a series of audio yoga CDs.
My personal practice and teachings are inspired by advanced studies with
Judith Lasater, Tias Little, Patricia Sullivan, my family, community, and
lots of time outdoors with my dog Quincy.

I am looking for students who want to commit to the practice of yoga and
attend classes on a weekly basis. I have created a Yoga Basics audio
CD for students to begin a home practice and really start to
enjoy the benefits of yoga!
