A moving meditation

That’s how my teacher described yoga during the very first class I ever took.

I’ve studied classical and contemporary dance since childhood, but I didn’t begin a steady yoga practice until college. During my first class, my teacher mentioned many times that yoga can be a “moving meditation.” As a dancer, I was immediately intrigued by this idea and eager to understand how movement, something I had been doing my entire life, could be a meditative experience.

A few months later, I signed up for my first 200-hour teacher training. This decision was transformational for me! It happened quickly and unexpectedly, and it was the first time in my life I said YES to something I hadn’t previously planned or envisioned for myself.

Since then, I’ve completed 500+ hours of training in multiple movement modalities, earned two certifications in Applied Positive Psychology, and built a career as a professional dancer in NYC. With more than a decade of experience, I now blend these unique threads - dance, yoga, mindfulness, and positive psychology - into well-being experiences. You can find me teaching classes and workshops in NYC, connecting with my Expand On Demand membership community, and hosting retreats around the world.

I believe movement is a powerful tool for connection - to yourself and to others. In every class, I aim to spark collective positivity, self-empowerment, and joy. It’s my hope that, through movement and positive psychology, we can create a community where everyone can experience the gift of a moving meditation.
