In 1987 I was lucky enough to get introduced to yoga as part of my acting training at New York University’s Experimental Theater Wing in Paris. It was then when I got a taste of yoga and a few years later met my teacher Sharon Gannon at Crunch Gym. From that moment on I was hooked! I became a die hard Jivamukti yoga student, or as I like to say, “a dedicated, trying to live softly, Jivamukti Yoga student!” I began teaching in 1995 and became a Certified Jivamukti Yoga Teacher in 1997. A few years later I was teaching in the Hamptons and was introduced to Anusara Yoga. My first teacher was the amazing Doug Keller and in that one summer I was blessed to study with Amy Ippoliti, Desiree Rumbaugh and Suzi Hurley. Through several years of study with John Friend, I became an Anusara Inspired teacher. Since living in Cleveland for the past 18 years I’ve been surrounded by Power Yoga teachers and have been inspired by all the teachers at Cleveland Yoga and all over the greater Cleveland area.
My classes are infused with the ancient teachings of yoga for the modern mind and people say that I’m a teacher's teacher, although if you really want a teacher’s teacher I recommend studying with my teachers! (Sharon Gannon, David Life, John Friend) I lead a yearly yoga teacher training and still study with my beloved teachers Sharon Gannon & David Life, co-creators of the Jivamukti Yoga method. While offering healthy and creative sequencing to heal the body and mind, my classes are steeped with inspirational music, poetry, humor and spoken word. In my early days of teaching, in an attempt to bring an even deeper level of happiness and peace to my students, I created, mantra mixed, Indu Aromatherapy Lotion. There’s a blessing mixed into every bottle. Years later Indu remains inspired by people around the world….like you! The Indu line now includes Indu body/room & pillow spray, Liquid Luxurious Soap, Shea Butter Spa Candle, Indu Yoga Mat Cleaner Spray, Nectar of the Moon Drops (our version of a Bath Bomb), Salt Scrubs and more. I love yoga! YOGA WORKS! I love how yoga is apocalyptic (Not Martin Sheenish, but revelatory)! I love what yoga reveals in me, LOVE!". Well, sometimes it reveals what's covering up the love and that's when I really get to PRACTICE yoga! In class you will be challenged, cajoled, inspired and supported to delve deep into your body and mind and find out who you are and have always been......which is LOVE itself!
