SERVING THE BAY AREA SINCE 2002
“I learn so much in every class...It feels more like a "yoga college" that keeps me coming back again and again for the depth of learning that I use both on and off the mat.”

How did you get into this line of work?
I happily stumbled upon yoga when I was 17 in college. I practiced throughout school, finally ditching obtuse, dusty graduate work to follow my love of yoga and take a yoga teacher training. At the time, I was not as interested in actually teaching as I was in simply immersing myself in practice and learning the details of the postures for home practice. Later, I learned about classical yoga and it’s sister science, Ayurveda. It only felt natural to deepen my studies of both.
What do you enjoy the most about working at Yoga Mandala?
I love Yoga Mandala because it is hOMe. Yoga Mandala attracted me with its traditional approach to yoga, but really impressed me as an overall educational center, massage and healing clinic, and as a general safe-haven for non-dual practice and study.
I am so pleased to have not only found such a tradition, but to be able to participate in a community centered around it. I enjoy teaching and practicing Ayurveda in a community of like-minded practitioners. Co-workers and students alike are family to me. It is unique to be a part of a tight-knit—and yet open and embracing—village within a metropolis.
When you’re not practicing yoga, what are you most likely found doing?
When I’m not practicing, I am enjoying chasing around my beautiful son.
