Life begins  with an inhalation, the fundamental breath, a pillar of the yogic practice. Raised in Brooklyn, as a young dancer,  in the early 70s, I  hopped on the D train to ballet classes at the Clark Center, and Jazz classes with Luigi   Performed in NYC,  New England,  taught dance  and holistic movement, in Manhattan, and  Long Island's High School of the Arts,  coached fitness/wellness at the original  David Barton Gym on 6th Ave., while studying anatomy, physiology and nutrition to balance myself, and my students.  During this time, my best friends, fellow dancers, & artists, in NYC were  dying, from AIDS.  Searching  for an understanding of this tragic time, brought me to yoga, and its ancient philosophy, of  liberating  the light of our beings.  
Yoga  is a living system, with many schools of practice. My  vinyasa classes combine the best of the yoga lineages I have studied including  Iyengar,   Sivananda, Ashtanga,  Jivamukti, Kundalini, in  a dynamic, vinyasa  practice.   My Certifications are: Yoga Alliance 500 E-RYT, Wellness Coaching- Coopers Clinic, Russill Paul - Mantra/Sanskrit,  Movement Analysis/Laban Institute,  MFA Arts Administration /Brooklyn College,  BFA  Dance/Adelphi University, CUNY - Anatomy/Physiology. Present studies include: the canonical philosophies  of Hindu Spirituality  with Dr. Edwin Bryant,  Classic Non Dual Tantrik Philosophy and practice with Russill Paul , and Dr. Christopher D. Wallis. Current asana study/ practice  with the teachers of  Iyengar Yoga,  at IYogaDelrayBeach, and IyengarYogaNYC.
