A yoga studio can mean many things to different people. For me, it’s where movement and music come together to create a mindful experience that nourishes both body and soul.

 

My journey began in childhood through ballet, where I discovered music’s power to inspire motion. As a viola student at the Eastman School of Music, I experienced this relationship in reverse—how movement and form create sound. Through these art forms, I came to understand the deep connection between music and movement: music moves us, and movement creates music.

​

To me, yoga is the perfect embodiment of this relationship. In class, we absorb sensations from the world around us—whether it’s music played by the teacher or the hum of the city outside—and focus our minds through movement and breath. This practice can deepen self-connection, helping us tune into our inner voice and let our authentic self be heard.

I am excited to bring you Yoga Muse. As a registered yoga teacher specializing in kids’ yoga, and with nearly 20 years of experience in brand strategy, building, and activations, I aim to cultivate a studio that not only meets the needs of its community but is built on a strong foundation. Whether guiding students on the mat or shaping the vision of a yoga business, I am committed to creating a space where mindfulness, movement, and shared experience come together.
