In May of 2019 I released my first series of online instructional videos. I created a mobile, equipment-free program designed to benefit everyone regardless of fitness level, stage in life, or access to a private instructor or fancy gym.

Those of you familiar with my work know my philosophy is that everyone has the opportunity to live a better life. I was so eager to release my original 5 foundational videos. They included Morning MovesLow Back HealthBurn and Breathe YogaPilates Mini Mat, and Hard Core Flow. It gave me the opportunity to reach and help guide more people toward living their own better lives.

For years I have been asked questions by professional athletes, dancers, actors, stay-at-home moms, and many others, about how to look and feel better. Questions included, "How can I have more physical and mental energy throughout the day?" "How do I strengthen my core?" “How can I alleviate my lower back pain?” or simply “How do I feel better?” I decided a membership-based video series would allow me to address these questions and more, in order to help people find solutions and results. This platform offers you the chance to face and overcome the obstacles which may be keeping you from optimal wellness.

Almost 2 years later my video series has grown exponentially. It now features over 40 workouts of varying lengths, with and without equipment, and hosts everything from ageless Yoga and strengthening Pilates, to full body HIIT videos, workouts for seniors and those with limited mobility, and more! And perhaps most excitingly, my videos are now available on my very own app, so moving with me has never been easier!

My approach to teaching is a forward-moving journey together with each student. And while specifics may vary from person to person, we all share humanity, breath, and the desire to feel our best. Together, we each push through to higher versions of ourselves.

Health and joy.

I was once asked in an interview what I consider to be the greatest benefit of a healthy lifestyle. I’d like to repeat my response, which reflects how I teach wellness:

“The ability to experience more joy. With the freedom of movement, a body that feels better, you're happier. When your breathing is better, you're happier. When you're thinking more positively and mindfully, you're happier. When your relationships are better, you're happier. When you're following your joy and doing the things that make you feel good, the entire picture improves. When I talk about optimal wellness, here’s what I’m saying: with better health comes more joy – in body, mind, and spirit.”

When we're following our joy and doing things that make us feel good, our entire world improves. If in this process you happen to look better in your clothes, reach a certain number on a scale, or improve your waistline or biceps measurement in inches, well then mazel tov!

My work has always been about inspiring others to live better, happier lives in body, mind, and spirit. I can only do that by embodying and reflecting the principles I teach. My video project was an immense challenge. I feel strengthened and illuminated by it and inspired to forge ahead as I continue to create new videos all the time. 

At the core of my being I am a teacher, a guide, a coach - and I am here to be of service. My goal is to guide you on your transformational journey to experience the power of true health - in Body, Mind, and Spirit.
