I have been teaching yoga for 6 years now and continue to grow as a teacher and student of yoga, always learning and evolving. I have studied with Doug Swenson-sadhana vinyasa style, Manju Jois-ashtanga yoga, and Christopher Hildebrant-ashtanga yoga.  My vinyasa teaching practice is strongly influenced and rooted in ashtanga yoga with heating linking vinyasas but mixed with a softer form of yoga to balance the practice.  I believe that there should be a variety of asanas in a vinyasa class so that each individual student can grow and challenge themselves to their fullest potential.
