Teacher Training: NEW DATES!
Rope-Wall Yoga Teacher Training
20 hours over two weekends, hosted by Mosaic Yoga Studio
October 25 & 26 and November 1 & 2, 2025
Rope-wall yoga is a unique and powerful practice of releasing, stabilizing, and strengthening. This teacher training offers a comprehensive establishment of rope-wall yoga principles taught over two weekends.
For serious students, this training will deepen your knowledge of skillful propping for alignment and ease in your own inquiry and self-practice. For yoga teachers, you will learn how to confidently and creatively incorporate rope practice into your own classes for a diverse student population making you a highly skilled choice to teach and sub rope-wall yoga classes.
My popular rope-wall classes are playful, liberating, and therapeutic. The rope-wall system provides resistance and support, and these classes are structured to provide deep and luxurious traction. The practice supports stability, strength and flexibility at the core, and is beneficial and accessible for most yoga practitioners.
Rope-Wall
Wednesdays 6pm | Thursdays 12pm | Sundays 12pm
These 75 minute classes are playful, liberating, spacious and therapeutic. Rope-wall yoga takes advantage of the props as resistance and support, playful (like flying!) with luxurious, adaptable traction. The practice supports stability and flexibility, and is beneficial and accessible for most students.

Meditation
Inspired and informed by yoga, Buddhism, and other wisdom traditions, these supportive and playful sessions build on our toolkits of self-care in community. We free-write a little, sit in a silent circle, and chant a lot. Every session includes breath & movement practices to soothe the nervous system: simple, somatic, portable, and accessible. Bring your meditation practice to life!
PRIVATE SESSIONS
Private yoga, meditation or coaching sessions are ideal for working in a detailed way with your specific situation.
As a poet, artist, designer, and teacher, I thrive at the intersection of multiple arts and forms of inquiry. Practices that integrate body and mind support all aspects of my work.
It is an honour and a joy to share these practices with you!
Guiding Principles
My teaching is influenced by long-term study with Iyengar, Ashtanga, and traditional hatha yoga teachers. I am inspired by movement practices that promote ease, stability, and strength. I am motivated by an ongoing commitment to buddha dharma and yoga philosophy: a vow to see clearly and act with compassion in the world.
I emphasize discernment and self-study to cultivate and support resilient, creative ways of being. This is a life-long practice, continually adapting, as self-awareness and the physical body change over time. At every age and stage of practice, we can learn to listen more deeply, become more grounded and full with life.
I have been a student of yoga and buddhism for over 20 years. I began teaching in Toronto yoga studios in 2013, after completing 500+ hours of teacher training. Additional trainings include restorative, prenatal, rope-wall, pranayam, chanting & kriya, yoga nidra, Zen and Tibettan dharma study, and yoga philosophy. Since 2024, I have been pursuing a Masters in Psycho-Spiritual Studies at Emmanuel College, at the University of Toronto.
Susan Richardson, Scott Davis, Morgan Cowie, Monica Voss, Hali Schwartz, Lisa Messina, Ronit Jinich, Taryn Diamond, Anam Thubten Rinpoche, the Roshis and practitioners of the Village Zendo, and Margot Koch and Edward Brown, are favourite guides and teachers who fuel this life study.
Much gratitude.
