The Felt Sense is how we experience life—where the mind and body are one. It’s about tuning into the unique language of the body – mind, learning how to move, when to move, how to move with strength or subtlety, and knowing when stillness is needed. It's an embodied practice that blends your humanity, meditation, somatic movement, stillness, deep self-attunement (could call it Yoga, or something else).
It’s the body’s inner wisdom—the knowledge that arises not only from the brain but from the entire integrated self. It’s not something a teacher or technique can fully define; only you, in the present moment, truly know.
As a teacher, my intention is to expand minds, open hearts, and guide others in discovering the wonder of an embodied life—helping each person trust and recognize their own Felt Sense.
My classes and workshops blend a variety of practices, including somatic movement, intentional sequencing, long-held poses, vinyasa, breathwork, individualized alignment, anatomy, and meditation. With over 30,000 hours of teaching, I hold the E-RYT-500 certification and lead 200 and 300-hour Yoga Alliance accredited teacher trainings. I am also a Yoga Therapist accredited by the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT), and have worked therapeutically with private clients since 2002.
In 2023, I graduated from the School of Body-Mind Centering® as both a Somatic Movement Educator (SME) and Infant Developmental Movement Educator (IDME).
I began practicing Yoga in 1989 and teaching in 1998. My early practice focused on vigorous vinyasa and hot yoga, where I trained with Rolf Gates and assisted him at workshops. In 2001, I began studying with Tias Little, becoming the first person to receive a 500-hour certification from him. I’ve assisted Tias in workshops and teacher trainings since 2005.
In 2002, I became the director of One Tree Yoga in Omaha, where I led teacher trainings starting in 2004. I later completed the Insight Yoga Institute’s 500-hour program with Sarah Powers in 2013 and have mentored students in her teacher trainings.
After relocating to New England in 2011, I trained with Patricia Walden and Peentz Dubble, attending thousands of hours of training with notable teachers like Eric Schiffman, Baron Baptiste, Shiva Rea, and many others. Currently, I study with Amy Matthews, co-author of Yoga Anatomy, and together we co-own Sonder Movement Project, offering Body-Mind Centering® courses in New England.

In my teaching and practice, I believe in finding what works for each person. I honor all approaches that cultivate self-inquiry and wisdom. No single method is for everyone; to think otherwise only deepens the illusion of separation. I strive to live by my teachings, embracing mistakes and understanding that self-study is a lifelong journey.
