Many people ask how I got into yoga. I was drawn to it. While thumbing through Psychology Today magazine, I noticed an advertisement for yoga/meditation & had a deep sense of knowing "that's for me."
At age 13, I began a dedicated practice of hatha yoga & meditation. It has been the through line of my life ever since. For two years I studied at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute in Los Angeles, then applied my training in theatre, recording, & television. During my years as an entertainer, I supplemented my dance training by exploring all the yoga classes offered at the studios.

Yoga Video, Books, More Training
Shortly after becoming certified & teaching, Buns of Steel/Warner Vision scouted me out to choreograph, script, & perform a yoga video for them. Yoga Works in Los Angeles then recruited me for their advanced teacher-training program where I studied with renowned senior Iyengar teachers & master ashtanga teachers. For the book Yoga for Dummies, I served as a photo shoot consultant & model.
