I am a writer, yoga teacher, Reiki practitioner, and lifelong student of yoga. I have been practicing yoga for over fifteen years and graduated from my 200-hour teacher training with Radiantly Alive Yoga in Bali in 2024. I received my Usui Reiki Training with Gurdeep Bhogal of Parinama Transformative Healing Arts. I mostly teach Vinyasa, but also have experience teaching power, gentle, restorative, and yin yoga. No matter what the style, all of my classes emphasize a deeper connection to our inner worlds. Students can expect a mind-body-breath connection, intelligent sequencing, thoughtful alignment cues, and a refreshing sense of community.

When I’m not on the mat, you can find me with a pen in my hand, either journaling and exploring other forms of writing. I have been published in Pride.com and my memoir, LOUD HOUSE—exploring sexuality, politics, and family in East Boston’s tight-knit, Italian-American community—is currently out on submission. The rest of my time is spent on caring for my plant babies with my wife Sarah.

I offer in-person and virtual yoga classes, one-on-one yoga sessions, and yoga nidra workshops. You can read my writing in Substack.
