Since 2007, Magi’s insightful teaching has facilitated practicioner’s self-study by melding the paths of astute anatomical focus with open-hearted devotion and intention. Her way is equal parts precise and kind and reflects a fervent love and dedication to this path.

My yoga initiation occurred in Boston back when much of their yoga was under one roof. I was a sprightly, albeit wayward, ex-ballerina, and like so many others stumbled upon the yoga path rather haphazardly and dove head-first. I began teaching in 2007- just shy of my 21st birthday- so I quite literally came of age within the yoga sphere. The next several years were spent teaching in Boston but in 2010 NYC called loud and strong.

I taught full time through the ‘10s and now, 2 babies and a house in the suburbs later, I continue to refine the teaching I'm known for: astute sequencing woven with intention using a solid thread of the anatomical nitty-gritty.

I have been on faculty of the Kula Yoga 30-hour and 200-hour RYTs and a senior instructor and co-creator of Boston's JP Centre Yoga 200-hour RYT. I have created and taught both gross and subtle body anatomy modules for 300-hour advanced trainings. I am guest faculty for numerous other programs and trainings. I also teach in the Mindfulness Program at the Law School of Columbia University. I am particularly passionate about supporting teachers on their path and teach both on-going and specialized mentorship programs.

I am an E-RYT 500 certified instructor with over 650+ hours of Yoga Alliance Registered training hours. I am profoundly inspired by my long-time weekly study with Iyengar teachers Genny Kapuler and Nikki Costello. My foundation and advanced trainings with Ana Forrest have offered unparalleled guidance and taught me to stand up, on and off the mat.

Anatomy has been the backbone (pun intended!) from the beginning of my teaching career and I have studied with Tom Myers (KMI) and several of his senior teachers in both workshops and a cadaver dissection lab.  More recently, I have done trainings with Gil Hedley and continue to study with him: I have found a deep resonance with his Integral Anatomy approach.

The pandemic brought me closer to the teachings of Nature and Spirit, and my two girls- Raeya Zohar and Nova Leone- are proving to be the most profound guides (and tests!) yet.
