I have been teaching yoga since 1989, am Iyengar certified, and teach weekly classes at Unity Woods Yoga Center in Washington DC. I have been privileged to be sponsored by Holy Cross to lead numerous retreats in their monastery on the Hudson. I have led sessions at the Sacred Circles gatherings at the National Cathedral. I taught yoga to the residents for four amazing years at St. Luke Institute in Silver Spring. I have led parish retreats since 2003.
My teaching reflects study with the Iyengars in India, Dona Holleman in Italy, and many other wonderful teachers as well as reflecting my experience as a professor of Greek philosophy and as a dancer.
Inspired by my own yoga practice and the teachings, practices, and community of Thich Nhat Hanh and Taize chant, I have returned to my Christian roots. I embrace the depth and richness of Christianity: with joy in the light and compassion for the shadows.
I lead workshops and retreats praying with the body through yoga and meditation. These present opportunities to learn and/or create prayer posture sequences to beautiful sung prayers and time for deep silence. My passion is to share ways to combine yoga with a love of Christ and to help people heal wounds that may have come from Christian institutions.
