I created Yoga Tune Up® as a modality for self-healing. Over my 24 years of studies in yoga, I still felt within my tissues that there were gaps of critical information missing from so many techniques. Yoga Tune Up® evolved out of a need to activate, awaken, and cultivate internal connections to the parts of my body that were not fully "participating" in poses. My playful nuts & bolts approach honors all of the body's inherent biomechanics, and integrates them seamlesly into accessible practices that reveal where our bodies are underused, overused, or just plain "out of touch." My studies of Bodywork as taught by my lifelong mentor Glenn Black, infuses Yoga Tune Up® with a constant collaboration between self-care and healthy modes of exercise for a lifetime.

In addition to yoga, my work draws upon 24 years of expertise including the moving arts of Modern Dance, Pilates, Breathwork, Shiatsu, and Butoh. I teach workshops and retreats internationally, am a longtime faculty member of the Omega Institute, and Kriplau and have traveled nationally choreographing programs for the Discovery Health Channel. Recognized for my unique approach, I've been featured in Yoga Journal, Fit Yoga, Breathe Magazine, Women's Running, and on NPR; the LA Times calls me "kinetically arresting". My DVD series' include Yoga Tune Up®, the critically acclaimed Pranamaya produced Yoga Link- Easy Access to an Ageless Art, and Gaiam's Yoga for Weight Loss Workout.
