Teaching Style

My teaching style is eclectic. My background as a yoga instructor and massage therapist inform my teaching style in that I teach the student as a whole rather than teaching a subject to a student. I like to use current outside sources whether they be from science or art so that learning stays relevant to today.

My Hobbies

I have a passion for all art forms. I am a yoga nut and love healthy cooking. I love independent foreign films. I have fallen in love with the practice of martial arts.
