yoga & meditation
I was first introduced to yoga by my mom, who started - for lack of a better word - dragging me to her weekly yoga classes when I was 11 or 12. However, it wasn't until ten years later, when I moved to New York City, thousands of miles away from home, that Yoga and I truly connected. Amidst a world full of changes and a wealth of variables outside my control, I found refuge in the reliability of Yoga. There was, however, still something missing in all of my experiences; sometimes the loud music right outside the studio at the gym, at other times the rushed and transactional feel of certain studios around the city all seemed to lack something I couldn't quite put into words.
This all changed when I was introduced to Sky Ting Yoga through a friend who taught there at the time, and realized exactly what I was missing. Through Sky Ting, I gained a new community that I'm happy to call my chosen family.
Sky Ting mainly follows the Katonah Yoga school, which incorporates Taoist teachings, sacred geometry, and Traditional Chinese Medicine to offer a practice of longevity that focuses on physical form, which ultimately informs the practitioner's wellbeing - both physical and psychological. Katonah's pragmatic approach towards concepts that are often presented in intimidating or inaccessible ways, combined with the additional philosophical and theoretical trainings I continue to partake in awakened a newfound appreciation, respect, and perhaps most importantly, curiosity in Yoga.
In my classes, I combine Katonah teachings with the flow of Vinyasa, incorporating thoughtfully curated playlists, scents, and hands-on adjustments with the aim to offer experiences that speak to multiple senses simultaneously.
Class Offerings
I’m currently not teaching at a particular studio and am able to take on a limited number private students to work as in-depth with each student as possible.
That being said, I love meeting new people through the common thread of yoga, so please don’t hesitate to contact me here for private class inquiries :)
