Alignment-based yoga to keep your body strong, balanced and resilient

MEET Ai
A scientist on the mat
Students know me for crystal-clear instruction and a deep understanding of yoga philosophy and biomechanics. I blend Ashtanga, Iyengar, Anusara and Forrest traditions into practices that evolve with your body and your life.
Off the mat, I'm an epidemiologist with a PhD from Columbia, leading NIH-funded studies on mindfulness, mental health, and adolescent health. Mindfulness is woven through everything I teach, from a yoga class to a cooking session, and I bring the same evidence-based lens to all of it.
