I discovered yoga in middle school, creating my first "studio" in a corner of our small San Diego apartment. With no mat and just a little bit of space, I found a fascinating playground and safe haven inside myself. This practice became my anchor through raising four children, a demanding medical research career, and eventually my path through anxiety, panic attacks, and PTSD.

I left corporate life for deeper study at Santosha School in Indianapolis, discovering Ayurvedic practices that transformed my relationship with my mind and body. Now I share these tools through teaching, writing, and community building—inviting others to discover their own path from surviving to flourishing.

my values

Empowerment: I strive to empower our community with the tools and knowledge to harness their inner strength and face life's challenges with grace.

Accessibility: I am committed to making yoga and mindfulness accessible to all, breaking down barriers and creating inclusive spaces.

Community: I believe in the power of community to heal, support, and uplift.

Wellness: My holistic approach to wellness encompasses the mind, body, and spirit, offering a pathway to comprehensive well-being.

Resilience: Central to my philosophy, resilience is the golden thread that weaves through every class, workshop, and conversation.

community partners

Resilient Yoga is more than just space to practice yoga; it's a community where stories of resilience are shared, bonds are formed, and the journey of healing is travelled together.

It is my joy to partner with local organizations in Indianapolis and surrounding areas, expanding my offerings to include workshops and events, and embrace technology to reach people far and wide.
