i am a lover of the simple things - the first sip of coffee, the warmth from the sun on my skin, the sounds of nature. practicing and teaching yoga allows me to connect more deeply with these simple joys and this is what I love to share with yoga practitioners. it's not about what shape you make with your body, it's what you learn from and through the movement.
growing up as a dancer, i have always loved movement. i've now been practicing yoga for 15 years and have been teaching since 2016. most recently, i have been teaching internationally on yoga teacher trainings and leading retreats, connecting with yoga practitioners and teachers from all over the world.
while teaching yoga, i exude joy and invite my students to try their best, especially when facing challenges. i offer gentle and encouraging guidance to help those following explore their own movement a bit deeper. i am passionate about giving people tools through yoga to help them gain focus and perspective in their daily lives.
when i’m not on my mat, i’ll probably be found on my surfboard (applying the same lessons i do with yoga of patience, acceptance, and non-judgement), or spending time with friends or family.
