My practice began over 25 years ago. Years of sports had me wound so tight it took nearly a year to touch my toes. The physical shift was immediate - but the deeper shift in my nervous system, my perspective, and my life is what truly hooked me. Yoga felt like magic.

After nearly a decade of practice, I enrolled in my first teacher training in Costa Rica initially to deepen my own practice and take a break from a demanding finance career. The rest is history.

For many years, the physical practice of yoga asana was transformative for me. And then, at a certain point, it wasn’t. I got curious.

That curiosity led me into the study of functional movement and breath mechanics. While my teaching is still influenced by 25 years of yoga - the presence, flow, and reverence for practice remain - my work today is far more grounded in biomechanics. I blend principles from Postural Restoration and Pilates with intelligent mobility and strength work to help people move more efficiently, breathe better, and build resilient bodies. I call it Functional Flow.

I teach public classes in Vancouver, BC and lead retreats around the world. In 2020, Matt Phippen and I founded our online studio, Movement Method.

Deep gratitude to the teachers who have shaped my work over the years: Schuyler Grant and Nikki Vilella of Kula Yoga Project, Functional Range Systems, the Postural Restoration Institute, and my Movement Method partner Matt Phippen.
