Class formats Taught:

I primarily offer Vinyasa (Flow), Restorative, and Yin classes. Within these foundational formats students have the opportunity to explore additional therapeutic methods such as myofascial release, acupressure, breathing skills, and meditation.

Core values:

Wisdom, Integrity, Inclusion, Education, Leadership

Why do you teach yoga?

​

These practices work. My approach to teaching is grounded in personal experience of the Practice improving physical and mental health and overall well-being. As a scientist, I love exploring the nexus of traditional yoga wisdom and knowledge gained through modern research. My classes are a container to educate and empower the student to develop their own experiential wisdom of the Practice. In creating community around these experiences, the benefits are far-reaching. 

 

​

How do you want students to feel after class?

​

Simply put, I want you to feel “great” after class. Going deeper, I want the benefits of your Practice to affect you long after you step off the mat and in your day to day life.

Thanks for submitting!

Land Acknowledgement: It is our privilege and honor at Auke Bay Yoga to live, work, and practice here on Lingít Aani, on the unceded territory of the Áak'w Kwáan who have resided in this area since time immemorial, and who have historically been displaced from what we know today as Berners Bay and the Auke Bay areas of D'zantiki Héeni, known by its colonized name of Juneau. 

 

We would also like to recognize our relatives of the Taku River, the T'aaku Kwáan who came to reside at Anax Ya Andagan Ye' otherwise known as South Douglas, without recognizing them would further contribute to the erasure of their very existence and the many contributions they have made to this community in the past, now, and in the future. The T'aaku are our relatives, we care for them, and are thankful for the stewardships they too will continue to make in perpetuity.

​

Gunalchéesh to the Áak'w Kwáan for your continued stewardship and guidance as we move forward together recognizing the historical and ongoing harms of colonialism. We humbly give thanks to the land and its ancestors for their wisdom, strength, and generosity. May we honor and protect this sacred earth together for generations to come.
