Over the past few years of teaching online, here are some of my best tips to making the most of practicing online from home:
Enlarge your screen! You can connect your device to your TV with an HDMI cable (if you are using a tablet/iPad, you may need a converter), or if you have a smart TV, you may be able to screencast.
Optimize your sound. Connect your device to an external speaker via Bluetooth or audio/AUX cable. This will give you richer sound, especially for the playlists I share.
Choose ACTIVE SPEAKER mode on Zoom to see me better. When everyone else is muted, Zoom will focus on the one person who is talking (me!).
Create a sacred space. If possible, find a room or corner of your space that you can covert into your own little yoga sanctuary. Adorn it with objects that inspire you, light some candles, ignite your aromatherapy diffuser.
Invest in or get creative with props. Read this blog post for some ideas for converting household items into yoga props, or follow the links in the post to treat yourself to your own set. (My PRO tip: if you are going to invest in ONE prop, opt for a rectangular bolster! You can use it for a variety of non-yoga uses, and it is the most tricky to re-create at home)
My love language is storytelling through music.
I often get asked to share my class playlists. You are welcome to follow me on Spotify or sign up for my monthly newsletter, where I share links to the tunes that are lighting me up.

Your body has immense potential that can become dull and stagnant by lack of movement or moving without intention. Functional flow is complimentary to those that are training outside of a studio as well as the yoga practitioner that wants to make more informed choices in their practice.

My approach to yoga
Because yoga means “unity” I believe our shared practice is a place to connect to the essence of what brings us together. As such, we often explore ideas and inspiration that unite us on or off the mat, perhaps both. I encourage you to (en)lighten up and play, challenge you to find your strength and your untapped potential, and to surrender when it feels right. I urge you to understand the difference between pain (ouch!) and sensation (wow!) in your own body, and act accordingly. Above all, I urge you to celebrate and be amazed by the wonder that is YOU.
I believe every body is wholly individual, and as such YOU are your most important teacher. I regard my role simply as your guide. I welcome you to your mat exactly as you are, and to channel and support your practice as it shows up for you in the moment. Through all my classes I endeavour to suggest modifications to suit your individual circumstances and experiences.
My training & experience
Following a knee injury that sidelined my love of dance, I began practicing yoga in 1999. I completed my initial 200-hr Yoga Teacher Training with Eoin Finn in 2011 and my 300-hr Advanced Yoga Teacher Training at Semperviva in 2018. I am a member of the Yoga Alliance and am considered an experienced registered yoga teacher (ERYT-500) with tens of thousands of hours of teaching and learning over the last two and a half decades.
My classes
In all my classes, I seek meaningful ways to bring us together as a community, so that we may create some profound connection through our shared experiences as human beings. I hold a deep appreciation for provocative thinkers, archetypical stories from all traditions and cultures, and wicked wordsmiths. I draw inspiration from these sources.
In my Awaken & Empower Flow (aka Vinyasa/Morning Flow) classes, expect a creative flowing practice rooted firmly in optimal functional movement and safety, a practice in which we can explore the intersections between mobility, stability, accessibility, and flexibility. I believe that we need time, support, and discipline to develop a stronger practice; as such, I focus on one peak pose or family of poses per month so that students can build more skill and confidence in these more challenging asanas.
In my Stretch & Surrender (Yin/Restorative) classes, you will explore ways to cultivate stillness to expand deeply into your physical body and ease your conscious thoughts. I often blend Restorative & Nidra approaches, inviting you to deepen your sense of embodiment and quiet your mind to access profound rest.
My teachers
I am deeply grateful to all my teachers and colleagues, past and present, who have shaped my approach to this sacred practice both on and off the yoga mat.
