PREFACEI’ve been practicing yoga for over ten years, and I’ve
taught in Los Angeles for nearly five. My students have met
with me at small studios and exclusive gyms. I’ve instructed
corporate clients on the beach and hundreds of others on the
Santa Monica Pier. People of all shapes, sizes, and experience
levels show up for my classes, and I lead them through a
sequence of healthy, safe, mindful poses.
Some of my students show up to become enlightened,
or at least less stressed. Others practice yoga to fit into their
skinny jeans. Regardless of why someone practices yoga, I
make it my mission to impart everything I know in a fun and
approachable way. Sometimes we rock out to Led Zeppelin.
Other times we practice yoga in complete silence.
Whether you want to learn the physical poses or you
simply want to understand the philosophy behind the prac-
tice, you will find it all here. Yoga for Beginners is your guide,
and I’m excited to be your teacher. As I say at the beginning
of my classes, “This practice is all about you, so let’s explore
how yoga can fit into your life.”
