Solid yoga should be accessible beyond the yoga studio and into fitness facilities.  Yoga has the potential to be a deeply reverent practice or just simply an integral component to a fitness regime.  I have experienced physical fitness/liberation to be the portal to a happy mind and heart.

I am a dedicated Yogi of many years, a mother of three, wife,  classical flutist,  free spirited traveller, and plant lover.

I began my training in Toronto with Michael Stone (Ashtanga), Michael Siddal (Anusara), and Judith Hansen Lasiter (restorative).  After over 700 hours of study and teacher training I have placed my heart deep in the highly refined practice of Anusara Yoga.

I follow a yoga practice that encourages a soft opening to grace, refined principals of alignment and human intrinsic goodness. I have faith that regular yoga practice ultimately has the potential to illuminate the greatest creative experience of a human life – at any age.

I enjoy and continue to study with Desiree Rumbaugh, Ross Rayburn, the local Anusara Kula, as well as my teachers Karen Sprute Francovich of Idaho and Anusara founder John Friend.

Back packing the south pacific en route to New Zealand and Australia.....and the romance that unfolded with my now husband!

An incredible pipe organ concert in a Montreal Cathedral perched on a large hill overlooking the whole city. (after pushing my twins in a stroller for 12 km - they finally fell asleep).

And....Every difficult challenge I have overcome.
