I grew up as the youngest of four in a competitive, sporty Staten Island family. Early on, I learned to move my body for more than fun—sports fueled my passion for movement.

However, as a teen, I struggled with anger, leading to a destructive path of fighting, drug dealing, and stealing. I found a way out through boxing, using my energy purposefully, releasing pent-up anger. Boxing challenged me physically while instilling focus and discipline, which I apply in yoga today. As I progressed, I recognized my need for balance and coordination. My trainer suggested dance, and though hesitant, ballet and jazz transformed me. They taught body awareness, focus, and the art of coordination, offering grace and personality.

At 26, I moved to Los Angeles, discovering yoga as the evolution of my movement journey—a blend of strength, flexibility, and mental clarity. I deepened my knowledge at Yogaworks Teacher Training with pioneers Maty Ezraty and Lisa Waldorf, and studied with Annie Carpenter and experts like Gary Gray and Stuart McGill. My focus is on alignment and biomechanics for precise energy movement. My classes merge Yin and Yang, rooted in my boxing and dance experiences. I love teaching yoga for its strength, flexibility, and calming effects, fostering inner harmony. I'm grateful to share yoga's transformative power and eager to guide you on your journey to strength and peace.
