You will find my classes to be light-hearted, healing, spirited and invigorating. I enjoy teaching Vinyasa classes influenced by Anusara that incorporate a blend of asana, pranayama, meditation and Sanskrit chanting.
I am an Anusara Inspired Teacher and registered with the Yoga Alliance at the 200 hour level. My initial training was in Vinyasa at Midtown Yoga in Memphis. I have been inspired by and studied with Scotta Brady at Butterfly Yoga, John Friend, Noah Maze, Christina Sell, Martin and Jordan Kirk, Betsy Downing, Bruce Bowditch, Jordan Bloom, Kelly Haas, Doug Keller, Chris Coniaris, and Sarla Nichols at Midtown Yoga.
My initial interest in yoga began when I met my guru Roy Eugene Davis in 1989 at the Center for Spiritual Awareness in Lakemont, Georgia. I was initiated into the ancient science of Kriya Yoga by Mr. Davis, who is a direct disciple of Paramahansa Yogananda. In 2003 I went on a spiritual pilgrimage to India and the Himalayas – further connecting with the roots of Kriya Yoga. I represent CSA as a Group Meditation Leader teaching meditation in the Kriya Yoga tradition as passed down to me from the lineage of Mahavatar Babaji, Lahiri Mahasaya, Swami Sri Yukteswar, Paramahansa Yogananda, and Roy Eugene Davis.
