She is also involved in Zen Buddhism, Tai Chi Chuan, and Yoga. She is a senior member of the Integral Yoga® Teachers Association and has been teaching Integral Yoga® for over 30 years.

Working with the Chakra energies through color, sound and movement she has taught workshops in the United States and internationally. She has an M.A. in Dance, Sumi KomoPsychology and Sports Medicine and continues to teach and develop workshops on Yoga and the Alexander Technique and on Yoga Dance. Her focus is on awareness of the harmonious and graceful weaving of these various practices through the heart of movement.

She originally trained and danced professionally in New York City with Merce Cunningham, Carolyn Brown and others in the Cunningham lineage. An accident led her to explore movement/dance from an inner awareness sensation and perception through subtle unravelings of the body being. She integrates dance with Yoga, T'ai Chi Chuan, Alexander Technique and Zen meditation training. She has developed a movement form that calls forth the core of stillness into movement, meditation, and light in motion.
