ABOUT
Transformation has been the driving force in my studies and teaching. Yoga, photography, and communication are all crafts that depend on and fuel transformation in individuals, whether it be physical, emotional, or psychological.
​
Yoga practitioners watch their bodies and temperaments change. Photographers evolve how they see the world. Writers and public speakers refine their ability to engage and connect. These are all very real and potentially life-changing transformations that affect not just their own disciplines but every other aspect of life.
I've been studying Yoga, photography, and photographic printing for 20 years and teaching over a decade now. I have worked as a journalist and editor, and taught individuals and groups the art of professional communication. Crossroads in Focus is my way to share what I have learned.
Whether you are new to Yoga or a long-time student, interested in developing your practice, recovering from injury, expanding to other Yoga techniques (e.g., breath control or meditation), or you are a Yoga teacher interested in the theory, philosophy, and history of Yoga, we will begin where you are, explore your strengths and challenges, and create a plan to help you achieve your goals.
PHOTOGRAPHY & PHOTOGRAPHIC PRINTING
There is always more to learn in photography and especially in photographic printing. Among the most important elements is to develop your eye so you can see how to adjust your perspective, your image, or your print so you can achieve the results you want. We will focus on the areas where you want to grow or improve and explore what techniques and resources can help.
RÉSUMÉ & PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATION
There are few endeavors as frustrating as job searching, especially when you are trying to redirect your career. Our jobs are where we spend the bulk of our waking moments, however, so it is important that you choose your professional pursuits wisely. Whether you are in the middle of a job search, brushing up your résumé, or seeking to have a more effective professional online presence, we will evaluate your needs, strengths, and areas that would benefit from improvement to help you shape your professional image on paper and online.
