Hatha Yoga
Whether you're looking for a group class or more private instruction, all class themes strive to honor the classical Indian/South Asian yoga culture and teachings. Classes highlight the eight limbs of yoga and offer practictioners a variety of options to cultivate self-awareness and radical curiosity.
Pre- & Post-Natal, Baby and Me
Classes curated especially for pre- and post-natal needs, encompassing all stages of pregnancy including fertility and fourth trimester. Offerings ialso nclude yoga sculpt with light weights and resistance bands, props (pillows, blankets, blocks, straps and birthing balls). We'll pinch-hit with whatever you have at home, though! Baby and me classes are recommended for 6 weeks - 18 mos, or until children are crawling.
Kid and Family Yoga
Looking for something fun and different to do with your family? Yoga classes offered for children 18 mos+ in a family or group environment. Toddlers' classes (30 min); elmentarly age classes (60 min) and teens (90 min).
Restorative
Feeling a little over-stressed lately? A restorative practice may be the right receipe for you to relax and rejuvenate. These classes focus on longer holds, deeper breathing, and lots of props! There may be some mantra-making and chanting.

I'm a kid at heart. Before I found yoga I was a theatre performer and singer, and I enjoy bringing a little exuberance to whatever it is I may be doing at the moment. Kids and animals seem to love my innate dramatic flair--I'm not sure there's a higher compliment to be had. As a facilitator of yoga classes, my goal is to creatively balance alignment-based flow with meditation, pranayama, and restorative forms into a hatha yoga practice tailored to all levels. I consider myself an intuitive practitioner and curious student who seeks to guide fellow yoginis through their own experiences during class. In my group and private classes I strive to honor the classical Indian and South Asian heritage of the science of yoga by interweaving yoga sutras, asana (physical postures), pranayama (breathing techniques), yama, niyama, mantra and chant. I'm committed to being vigilant against cultural appropriation and practicing anti-racism, with the understanding that I'm a work in progress and am continuously learning how to be a better human being. To me, teaching is a symbiotic symphony where students and educators learn from each other. I've been teaching yoga in the Chicago area since 2013 and have been practicing since the mid-1990s. I am a 500-hour certified teacher registered with Yoga Alliance, licensed, and insured, and I have speciality training in prenatal, children's, and trauma-informed yoga.
