“When we are ‘in dharma’, we are using our unique creative talents in a joyful way that most serves the world and leads to the most success.”

—Deepak Chopra, The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success

Hello

I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m thrilled that you are interested in learning more about me and my classes. I teach yoga and meditation for all levels, body types, ages, and abilities.

If you’re wanting to develop a yoga practice, or just shake off the day and find some balance, I offer:

Zoom/Morning Dharma class on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:30am – 7:30am
In-Person/Evening Dharma class on Thursdays in Shepherdstown from 6pm-7pm
Retreats throughout the year
Private Instruction by request

My classes are rooted in traditional Hatha yoga (a gentle style), combining pranayama (breathing), asana (yoga poses), and meditation. I also integrate vinyasa flow, which connects the poses at a slightly faster, flow-y pace, along with yogic and Buddhist philosophies, and a deep reverence for the natural world.

I believe that yoga is a lifelong practice — one that ebbs, flows, changes, and evolves. To make it accessible to all body types, ages, and abilities, I always offer modifications tailored to individual needs. I hope you’ll join me!

A little bit about me…

I believe that yoga, meditation, and connecting with nature are the most reliable paths to a joyful life.

I’ve been a seeker for as long as I can remember. Around age 12, I read Siddhartha* and began my own inward journey exploring philosophy, religion, meditation, nutrition, and movement. I was first drawn to yoga in 2001 as an alternative to modern dance after becoming pregnant with my son. I attended the first yoga studio in Shepherdstown, WV, and felt an immediate connection to the yogic philosophy, meditation, and asanas taught by Shanti Saagar founders Judy Jenner & JiJi Beckett. I’ve maintained a self-practice ever since, and began practicing with Christa Mastrangelo Joyce in 2010. In 2018, I completed Jala Yoga’s 200-hour Teacher Training Program and then began my own path as an instructor while continuing to be a student of yoga and Buddhist philosophy.

A native West Virginian, I currently live in WV’s eastern panhandle with my timber-framer husband Patrick and three chickens, all named Janet. I’m also the founder of Eden Design, a design & marketing firm, and the current Board President of the Eastern West Virginia Community Foundation. I love laughter, music, long hikes and trail runs, drinks with friends, and visits from our son, Sam. I am extremely grateful to all of the strong women & yogis in my life and humbled to share this yogic lineage with others.

“There is a crack, a crack in everything.
That’s how the light gets in.”

—Leonard Cohen

*In full disclosure, I found out about Siddhartha from a magazine article about my pre-teen crush River Phoenix who counted it as a major influence in his life. Sometimes, we find our guides in the most unusual places!

RETREATS
