My mission is to introduce more people to the healing practice of yoga in order to enhance physical, mental and emotional well-being. Yoga practice and philosophy provides the opportunity to give oneself more grace and embrace imperfection. Yoga, as a healing practice, ideally is accessible to all people, however, that is often not the case. If you would like to partner in order to offer a one time class or a class series for teens, please reach out. The yoga class can be held at your school or program site and a teacher or group leader is expected to be part of the group. I can also access studio space if needed.

In Spring of 2023, I facilitated yoga classes for 6th, 7th and 8th graders at Southeastern Educational Center, a behavioral reassignment middle school operated by Pathfinders Milwaukee and Milwaukee Public Schools. Over 50 students connected to self-compassion and emotional resilience through a trauma-informed, inclusive series of yoga classes. Mats were provided by a Mat Grant with the Give Back Yoga Foundation.
