I have been a Registered Nurse for over 30 years. I worked in ER's, ICU's and tiny airplanes transporting critically ill patients. I suppose you might say I was an adrenaline junkie. A few close calls in-flight led me to consider other options.  I chose to go back to school.

I completed my Masters Degree in Nursing Education at UCSF. I taught many nursing courses including anatomy and physiology at Napa Valley College for their nursing program.  

During that time, I also dove deeper into my personal yoga practice and decided to become a yoga teacher. Many trainings later, I completed my 500 hour advanced yoga training through Yoga Tree in San Francisco with a focus on anatomy and alignment.  

One of my mentors in that training, Pete Guinosso, asked me to teach anatomy as part of his 200 hour training.  He is an incredible teacher and I was grateful for the opportunity!

As I began to create my yoga anatomy curriculum, I realized that almost all of my resources focused on what NOT to do in a yoga practice. As my questions got bigger, I was forced to dig deeper. 

Finally, I came to the realization that the natural intelligence of the body is smarter than all of those resources. This is where I connected with the name "anatomy rebel". Because rebels don't accept the world around them without question.

Yoga has greatly improved my life. Let me help you improve yours.
