For over a decade, I've found solace and balance in the practice of yoga. It has been my sanctuary, allowing me to reconnect with my body and quiet my mind. Yet, during this journey, I discovered that yoga isn't always accessible. It's often expensive to engage in classes or studio membership and tailored only to specific body types and flexibility levels. I'm on a mission to change that narrative and show that yoga can be integrated for expansion, on and off the mat, by anyone. 

My own experience with yoga is deeply personal. It has not only helped me manage chronic neck pain, a result of my former passion for training horses, but it has also been my anchor in times of mental turbulence. Through yoga, I've learned the power of mindfulness, the art of deep breathing, and the beauty of simply being present.

Currently, I'm on the path to becoming a certified Hatha yoga instructor with a 200-hour teacher training program. My training journey has virtually taken me to the tranquil shores of Bali, where I’m immersing myself in the wisdom of Akasha Yoga School. I’m blessed to be on this journey with beautiful people from all over the world! 

My approach to yoga is grounded in inclusivity, authenticity, and approachability. My practice style is centered in Hatha yoga, steeped in breath and connected to mindfulness. In Hatha each pose is enveloped with breath, ujjayi breathing grounding connection to body and releasing the mind, this pranayama creating somatic awareness, and meditation bridging body, mind, and spirit.

I want you to know you can reach out to me and that I'm here to help you on your yoga journey, regardless of your experience level or body type.

Let's embark on this transformative path together, where yoga is a welcoming and accessible practice for all. Together, we'll discover the peace, balance, and inner expansion that yoga and breath can bring to our lives.

Warmest regards,
