i love to play and to teach, and combining those two passions can't be beat!  i have always loved touch in its many forms, and coming together as a group to foster more understanding, growth, and good health through it.  circus yoga provides me with the perfect vehicle to combine many of my favorite things, and teaching is the finest way possible to pass on the knowledge, share the love, and creating intimacy and safety thru inclusion and awareness.  plus, it's just FUN!
