Majoring in Psychology at Smith College, I took my first yoga class there as a semester long course in 1996. In 2000, I graduated with a Masters in Clinical Social Work school from Simmons College in Boston and hold my LMSW in NY State.
Skilled at adapting the practice to the needs of the individual, I have taught chair yoga, restorative yoga, vigorous vinyasa, gentle vinyasa, meditation, breath work, prenatal yoga and yoga for moms. I have taught in multiple settings including hospitals, yoga studios, offices, schools, libraries, and the YMCA.
I have experience working with families through Head Start and providing psychotherapy in community based mental health. Additionally I have experience working as a community organizer in Brooklyn on a multitude of local and national issues that affect older adults.
