Beginning her movement training at age five, she studied dance and acrobatics throughout elementary school then competed in national and international gymnastics in high school and college. In 1974 she began studying and teaching yoga while completing a BFA in Dance from the University of Illinois. In 1977 she started producing her own solo work and also performed with Laura Dean and Deborah Hay in the early 1980's.
