I fly with Jaybird Because:

Jaybird welcomes and encourages you to show up exactly as you are, free of judgement or expectation, and to move one’s body from a place of joyful connection and curiosity.

My journey to jaybird:

I started teaching about seven years ago after discovering a studio that encouraged one to move from a place of mindful connection and care, vs the punishing ways I had been moving my body from before. It was truly astonishing and eye opening to realize that movement could be joyful, playful, all while being deeply impactful and strengthening. As a teacher I do my best to lead from an embodied and authentic place, creating spaces that embrace the beauty and sometimes messiness that is being a human being and encouraging those in my class to do the same.

What MiNdfulness Means to Me:

Mindfulness to me is found in the pause. Pausing long enough to take a deep breath. Pausing so I can feel my feet on the ground. Pausing so I can be present with my life.
