My journey with yoga began in my teenage years, when I was drawn to movement simply to feel lighter in my body. Over time, life became busy and my practice faded in and out—but in moments of stress or uncertainty, I always found myself returning to the mat to reconnect.

That quiet pull eventually led me to deepen my practice through a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training at the Mount Madonna Institute, in the lineage of Baba Hari Dass. There, I discovered that yoga is not just physical exercise—it is a lifelong path of awareness, balance, and inner steadiness.

As I continued into advanced training and a more consistent daily practice, something began to shift. My body grew stronger and more at ease, long-held tension started to release, and my mind became quieter. Yoga was no longer something I “did”—it became a way of supporting how I live.

This experience deeply shapes how I teach today.

My approach is gentle, therapeutic, and breath-led, designed to help you:

• Build strength safely

• Improve mobility without strain

• Calm your nervous system

• Feel more supported in daily life

Alongside teaching adults, I feel especially drawn to working with teenagers. These years can be overwhelming, and I often think about how valuable it would have been for my own children to have these tools earlier in life. As a parent, this makes the work especially meaningful to me. I aim to offer teens a space where they can slow down, move, breathe, and feel more at ease in themselves—while building resilience and a sense of calm.

If you are thinking about beginning a yoga practice—know this:

You don’t need flexibility.
You don’t need experience.
You simply need willingness.

The rest unfolds with time.
