1881 Salt Sanctuary - Yoga and Sound Healing in the Community Salt Room
Yoga at the Salt Sanctuary is a gentle, restful and all-levels (even beginners) style of class. We offer monthly evening Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra sessions and varying morning Mobility yoga sessions (Saturdays) in the salt room. See my event section above for more specifics on date, time and type of yoga being offered. We will incorporate slow and mindful breath and movement in all classes and sometimes use yoga props like bolsters, straps and blocks to support your practice and bring more accessibility into some of the poses.
Meditative Sound is every second Saturday of the month unless specified otherwise** from 6:30-7:30pm. For November it's Saturday 11/15** (third Saturday). I will guide you into relaxation starting with the breath, then I intuitively play soothing sounds to help bring ease and rest to your nervous system, your body and your mind. When we spend more time in rest and at ease, our bodies, minds and hearts can heal and restore.
Light salt will be emitted into the community salt room during yoga and Sound Healing sessions. Salt Therapy can be very beneficial for many imbalances in the respiratory system, skin ailments, anxiety, stress and fatigue. Upon request, I can take private individual clients and small groups for yoga and sound in the community salt room. Use the link below to book your session in the salt room with me!
White Rose Senior Center
Chair Yoga every Tuesday and Friday at 12pm. Tuesday's class style will focus more on gentle strength and balance and Friday will be a general gentle all body mobility class. On the Move (TM) walking class for seniors is on Mondays and Thursdays at 12pm for 45 min starting September15th and going through into December (12 week program).
Chair Yoga will be gentle and mindful movement mostly done from a seated position in the chair. Occasionally we will get up behind the chair if the student feels comfortable doing so and we will carefully practice poses and balancing behind our chairs while holding onto them.

About Me
I am first and foremost a yoga student. I started my yoga practice in late 2013 when I was seeking a physical and spiritual connection that I felt was lacking in my life. Yoga did not help to heal or “cure” me, yoga did allow me the space to begin to heal myself and showed me more tools that made sense and lead me into more self-awareness. The passion for my practice continued for over 2 1/2 years when I decided to take teacher training in early 2016.
In 2021, I decided to teach yoga full time and leave my finance career. The pandemic not only opened up space in my life to begin taking on private clients, but it also made me realize that I could make my dreams begin to come true with doing what I love full time. I have over 8 years and thousands of hours of teaching experience with several classes a week and private clients as well. I am currently teaching at Your Yoga Studio located in West York, 1881 Salt Sanctuary, and White Rose Senior Center in York City. I also offer private sessions (yoga and sound) and other events/workshops locally. I have a 200ERYT certification and am registered with Yoga Alliance, 40hr RYT aerial yoga certification, 20+ hours of training in trauma-informed restorative yoga, 3 hours of pre-natal yoga training, 6 hours of intuitive assisting training and I've co-led 2 - 200hr Yoga Teacher Training programs at Your Yoga. I have all of my clearances including fingerprinting to work with children. I am a graduate of the Sound Healing Practitioner 6-month program with the Soundwise Institute of Lancaster, PA with Lana Ryder. I incorporate sound healing into all of my yoga classes.
I want to help my clients/students help themselves create a deeper, more authentic connection to their true SELF and their physical being. I do this by being a non-judgemental, safe space holder, by actively listening and helping clients/students to tune in to their breath, body, mind and heart.
