I have been immersed in the study of Yoga for over 8 years. My journey began at Riffs Yoga Studios where I did my first Yoga Teacher Training with Karina Gerschler & Jenn Richardson. My fascination fell deeper into the subtly of the body, that’s when I began attending Healing Hands of Holistic Health where I got my license as a Massage Therapist and also received certification as a 1000hr Holistic Health Practitioner. The most recent studies have been with my dear teacher Kaya Mindlin who developed Supreme Release Yoga. My passion lies within the depths of this ancient tradition, if you get a chance to take one of my classes you’ll find philosophy embedded within the physical and subtle aspect of the practice.

What is Spinal Release Yoga?
SRY or Spinal Release Yoga is an accessible yet advanced approach to yoga: accessible because it’s gentle and highly adaptive, and advanced because it takes you directly towards yoga’s supreme purpose. Combining asana, pranayama, mantra, a vedic viewpoint and contemplation, ŚRY nourishes and releases tension in both the physical and subtle spine. You are profoundly nourished and supported in ways that allow blocked, hidden, and painful conditioning that traces back through your past is to give way. SRY practice and teachings are not about effort or striving, but about revelation. What is revealed is the pure nectar that is the Self of the self.
*SRY also is a play on words, pointing to the essence of the practice as nurturing, softening and awakening, as the Sanskrit Śrī is the name for the luminous, abundant feminine divine.
