I grew up in the Wood River Valley and graduated from the Community School where I took my first yoga class. Growing up in the Idaho mountains ignited a lifelong passion for the physical culture. Hiking, skiing, ice skating, biking, climbing, dancing, long distance walking has always been a big part of my life.

I graduated from The University of California Berkeley and went on to teach 28-day mountain courses for the Pacific Crest Outward Bound School for 4 years. During this period, I developed a regular yoga practice and started to teach yoga to my Outward Bound students.

I have extensively studied yoga with Bikram Choudhury, T.K.V. Desikachar, Tony Sanchez, K. Pattabhi Jois, and Beryl Bender Birch.

I co-directed The Yoga Center of Greenwich with my Mom, Toni Goodrich, for 25 years where I taught yoga to people from all walks of life, including professional sports teams - The New York Knicks, The New York Rangers and The New York Mets.

An injury led me to strength training. I found the discipline of strength training and yoga to be perfect complements. I am a NASM Certified Personal Trainer and Bret Contreras Stronglifting Coach.

My specialty is an eagle eye that helps students get the most out of a yoga pose or an exercise.
