Student first, teacher second.
My practice began over 25 years ago. Years of competitive sports had me wound so tight that it took nearly a year to touch my toes. There was an immediate shift in my physical body, but the far more profound shift in my whole being was what hooked me. Yoga is magic.
After nearly a decade of practice, I pursued my first teacher training program in Costa Rica, with the intention of deepening my personal practice and having an extended vacation from a demanding finance career. The rest is history.
My teaching would best be described as Functional Flow - a science-backed approach that blends the brilliant mechanics of Postural Restoration and mobility work and with my deep love of Vinyasa Yoga. I teach public classes in Vancouver, BC and retreats around the world. In 2020, Matt Phippen and I founded our online studio, Movement Method.
Big thanks to my most influential teachers over the years: Schuyler Grant and Nikki Vilella of Kula Yoga Project, Annie Carpenter, Carrie Owerko, Functional Range Systems, the Postural Restoration Institute, and my Movement Method partner Matt Phippen.
