I have been blessed with loving companions and compassionate teachers who have guided me in my Sadhana (sacred path) encouraging me to step out of my comfort zone to explore new realms and horizons. 

It has been my greatest dream to live and work in a conscious community, focused on the upliftment of all beings. My yoga journey began in 1981 when my brother introduced me to a famous Guru at an ashram upstate.This event launched a new direction in my life that eventually led me to the Anusara yoga community and the World Yoga Center.

It was through the Anusara practice and community connection that my dreams became real. I became a Certified Anusara® Yoga Instructor in 2001, a Licensed Certified Yoga Health Coach in 2015 and served as Co-Founder and Former Director of Certification for the Anusara School of Hatha Yoga. 

By combining the two elements of yoga and health coaching, I realized that all of these amazing communities were aligned with my own swadharma (true path) – to bring  more light and vibrant health to the world! I have been helping students find their light and vibrancy ever since.

I joined a heart-filled Anusara community in NYC  in 2004 when I started collaborating with Rudrani Farbman,  Director and Founder of the World Yoga Center. Rudrani and I  have  co-led five 200 hour Teacher Training programs, nine Immersions and many annual meditation and yoga retreats. This truly dharmic partnership has nourished and nurtured many aspiring yoga teachers and students into stepping into their own Swadharma(true path). 

Through my association with Anusara yoga I have been invited to train teachers and students in Japan, China, Italy, Germany, Belgium and Mexico. Training teachers and mentoring teachers to become teacher trainers has been a huge blessing. I am so honored to report that these gifted Anusara teachers are growing the Anusara community all over the world. 

I offer public classes, private sessions, yoga retreats, workshops and teacher trainings , as well as my health coaching community, Vibrant Living Tribe . I invite you to participate in this beautiful community of the heart. If you would like to have a free consultation/session to discuss your health goals let’s connect.  My deepest desire  and passion is to support my students in learning tools that will support them in having a life filled with passion and meaning!
