How and when did your Yoga journey begin?
Around the age of 20, I was feeling really disembodied from myself and I was desperately searching for something to bring me back to ease and wholeness. I stumbled upon ancient teachings on yoga such as the yoga sutras and the vedas and for the first time I felt like I could make sense of the struggle I was experiencing. I began a dedicated practice of asana and meditation, which offered and continues to offer an enriching connection to myself and the world around me. The transformation I have experienced through the teachings and practice of yoga have deeply moved me and I know it's my duty to translate these teachings.
What do you love most about teaching Yoga?
I love holding a container for students to be able to come as they are and to experience the healing intelligence of breath and movement meditation. To realize that they themselves are capable of creating their own peace. Teaching to me is an honor. It's being of service to the life force. An invitation for all, to remember their wholeness and the sacredness that is life!
What style of Yoga do you most often teach?
Yin & Yang. I love to teach the dynamic and fluid practice of Vinyasa yoga. Serving the flow of movement and Prana through thoughtfully crafted sequences. I also love to teach subtle practices like Yin and Restorative Yoga. Honoring the importance of rich rest.
What does your personal Yoga practice look like?
My personal practice is always changing depending on my needs. These days its mediation, pranayama, embodied vinyasa practices that challenge me, as well as long slow holds in yin yoga. The beauty is that it's in constant evolution.
