About me

Location Portland, OR, United States
Introduction After growing up in the midwestern city of Minneapolis and completing an eccentric art education in the remotest portion of New York State, I moved to Seattle to work as a sculptor. In 1995 I attended my first yoga class, which sparked my interest: many more yoga classes, workshops, and years of practice, study and travel followed. After a period of travel, training, and studies with several senior teachers, I moved to Portland in 2001. As a young yoga teacher, I met the teacher who has provided me with guidance since 2003. Since 2001 I have been a full-time yoga teacher in Portland, Oregon. This practice has drawn me all over the world, but it is the inner world that I continue to explore through these studies, my art work, and relationships with other humans and animals. The science and philosophy of yoga offer directions for living our lives more clearly and with intention, and I see my life and teaching as a laboratory for that experiment.
