A Yogi Kitchen

I came to yoga in my 20s. The first day I tilted into downward dog was like coming home. My body had always wanted to be in yoga poses, I just never knew it. Five years later, in 2000, I started teaching. Over the years I've slowly developed my own philosophy about teaching. I strongly believe that absolutely everyone can practice yoga. I specialize in making yoga comfortable body, mind and spirit for people that never thought they could practice. ​So after 25 years of doing almost everything in the restaurant business, even owning a restaurant and catering business and almost 15 years of teaching and healing through yoga, even owning a studio, I had to find a way to combine my passions. I could no longer split my days between my two loves. I am drawn to share what I learn and my experiences. Yoga and food have changed my life. What I put in my body is as important to me as any yoga pose, or meditation, but I believe they can only go hand in hand. One can't heal through yoga and not be conscious of what's going in the body. And we can't put real, whole foods in our bodies without contemplating how it makes us feel and how our bodies should be moving. A Yogi Kitchen is my dream come true, a place where we are present with the wonders of food, cooking, poses, meditation and breath.
