Ashtanga Yoga Foundations: Build Your Practice From Scratch

A simple standing forward fold, or Uttanasana. To practice correctly and for the long term, you need a teacher who has already walked the path and can guide you so you do not get lost along the way.

A seated split, Hanumanasana. While this is an advanced pose, the journey to get there starts with foundational stretches and consistent practice. I help beginners build their flexibility and strength step by step.

Adho Mukha Svanasana, or Downward-Facing Dog. The goal is to turn instructions into your own experience. Ashtanga is an intellectual practice that becomes meditative as you learn to feel the alignment in your own body.

My home practice surrounded by birthday balloons. I draw inspiration from my students, and on this day, I was just happy to get my practice done while my daughter slept a little longer.

Every success story starts with an imperfect you. You just begin where you are. This video shows different moments from my practice, reminding you not to wait for the "perfect" time to start.

My first Surya Namaskaras (Sun Salutations) six weeks after my C-section. My body felt completely new and weak, but the joy of moving again was immense. This was a moment of vulnerability and a reminder that it is okay to be a beginner again.

A Saturday Led Primary Series practice at home. This is a clip of Utthita Hasta Padangusthasana, a standing balance that challenges both flexibility and focus. We build up to this pose gradually in beginner classes.

A dynamic flow from my home practice. Even when the practice is not perfect, the most important thing is that it can be enjoyable and satisfying.
