I found yoga in my early 20s, in the middle of a fast-paced marketing career in New York City.

From the outside, everything looked “fine.” But internally, I couldn’t turn my mind off. My head was filled with a constant chatter about work, my to-do list, self-criticism, and underlying worry.

I had always been interested in psychology (it was my college major), so I started working with a therapist. It helped, especially during our sessions. but in between sessions the noise in my head would come right back. “You need to accomplish more.” “Work out more.” “You need to make more money.”
It was loud. And exhausting.

My therapist eventually said: TRY YOGA.

Honestly? It felt like a strange idea for my thoughts but I was willing to do anything.

I wasn’t flexible. I wasn’t graceful. I wasn’t even breaking a sweat.
And savasana? I spent most of it mentally reorganizing my to-do list.

But—I kept showing up.

And somewhere along the way, something shifted. The messages the teachers shared started to make more sense and show up for me when I wasn’t in yoga.

“OBSERVE your thoughts coming and going. You don’t need to engage.”
I didn’t realize this was even possible—I was used to constantly talking back, planning, and reacting in my head.

“Yoga is practiced with effort and EASE.”
I didn’t believe you could actually get any results with ease.

But over time, yoga did what nothing else could: it helped me manage my mind while I was at yoga and when I was in my daily life outside of class.

I felt clearer. Less reactive. More grounded. Less worry. Energized.

Today I teach yoga as it actually works in real life: practical, accessible, and usefull techniques for everyday life..

Because I’m not teaching from a mountaintop—I’m teaching as a former corporate executive, a parent, a wife, and a breast cancer survivor living in New York City. I know what it’s like to juggle a lot and still feel like it’s not enough.

Yoga has been my most reliable anchor through all of it.

You don’t need to be flexible.
You don’t need to be spiritual.
You definitely don’t need to be “good” at yoga.

You just need to show up.
