The gift of the practice began with the book by Richard Hiltleman, 28 Days of Yoga. In my quest to help heal on-going injuries from dance,   I secretly studied and practiced in my room at night, because most people either had not heard of yoga or they made fun of it. “Miraculously”, in 28 days, all the promises of the book were felt.

Throughout the years, I sporadically practiced half-hearted, until a friend urged me to attend a Bryan Kest retreat. It was then I discovered a deep love for the practice.

Bryan’s classes, retreats and his personal blessing to pursue teaching led me to attend workshops with Richard Freeman, Rodney Yee, Tias Little, Anna Forest, Sharon Gannon, David Life, David Swenson and Erich Schiffman’s teacher training.

Practice With a Message is my style of using the healing power of inspirational and positive prose. This helps the students to quiet their own mental noise and live in the possibility of their own profound, strength, love and courage. Being a part of the  Corporate world and a single mother of two wonderful boys, I practice the messages that I preach, as I spiral through my amazing journey of life.

My classes are an eclectic mix of  Vinyasa flow, which includes, music, mantra and meditation.
