Meet The Team
Hatha, Flow and Chair
I help students find mobility, greater flexibility, and strength using an alignment-based yoga style.
I have been known to mix a little laughter and fun into my classes while helping students cultivate discipline, strength, and awareness. Alignment and balance, both physical and mental, are the foundation of my practice and teaching.
Meditation, Restorative, & Yin
My classes are a blend of everything I've gathered over the years—from the grounding energy of yin yoga to the restorative flow of gentle practices, all the way to the quiet stillness of meditation. I want to help you tap into your inner wisdom, find your center, and maybe even unleash your inner rockstar. It doesn't matter if you're new to this whole yoga thing or a seasoned pro—come as you are. My classes are a safe space for everyone.
Restorative, Gentle, Coaching
Any change we want to make in the mind must happen in tandem with the body. That is my yoga philosophy.
Balancing single motherhood, a full-time job, and graduate school all at once had me stressed beyond measure. I craved the stillness of my yoga practice. I soon fell into the rhythm that exists between body and mind. I believe if one can control their breath, one can control everything.
Children & Family Yoga
With my background in early childhood education and years of experience as a preschool teacher, I recognized my ability to make a meaningful impact. For the past 13 years, I've been dedicated to teaching children's yoga in various settings, including childcare centers, park programs, preschools, and summer camps.
I'm excited to be teaching Family yoga, where I can combine my passion for yoga with my love for working with children and families.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use my HSA/FSA dollars to pay for Essential Yoga and Wellness?
You can ...If you exercise to prevent or treat a (long list of) medical conditions, you may be able to use your pre-tax HSA/FSA funds for Essential Yoga and Wellness. To do so, you’ll need a Letter of Medical Necessity from a licensed provider to confirm that your expense qualifies as a medical expense.
We’re making it more convenient than ever to get this letter by partnering with Dr. B—a telehealth platform that offers $15 online consultations for common conditions. Just start an online fitness consultation, and they’ll handle the rest!
Here’s how it works:
Go to hidrb.com/and/essentialyoga for a one-time $15 online consultation. (No appointments or video call required!)
If you qualify, receive your Letter of Medical Necessity, valid for 12 months, via email within a few hours.
Submit your letter and Essential Yoga and Wellness receipts purchased on or after the date of your letter to your HSA/FSA administrator for reimbursement.
Do you offer online classes or in-person sessions only?
We offer both in-person and online classes to accommodate different preferences and schedules. Our online classes allow you to practice from the comfort of your home, while our in-person sessions provide a more immersive experience and direct interaction with instructors.
How often should I practice yoga to see benefits?
The frequency of practice can vary based on individual goals, but generally, practicing yoga 2-3 times a week can lead to noticeable improvements in flexibility, strength, and overall well-being. Consistency is key, so even short daily sessions can be beneficial.
What types of yoga classes do you offer?
We offer a variety of yoga styles to suit different needs and preferences, including Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, Restorative, Adaptive/ChairYoga, Meditation, Family/Kids, Movement classes and more!
Do I need to bring my own equipment?
While we provide yoga mats and basic props (blocks, straps, blankets) for use during class, many students prefer to bring their own mat for hygiene reasons. If you have any special props you like to use, feel free to bring them along.
Are your classes suitable for beginners?
Absolutely! We offer classes for all levels, including specific beginner-friendly sessions. Our experienced instructors provide modifications for all poses, ensuring that everyone can participate safely and comfortably, regardless of their experience level.
