As a fitness enthusiast, in 2012, I decided to enroll in yoga teacher training to help with my fitness goals.  Little did I know that it would be life-changing! The awareness and healing that came out of the practice of yoga was very transformative.

​

Being a multitasker myself, yoga gave me the much needed respite to take care of myself physically and emotionally. Yoga is now an important part of my life and I enjoy teaching yoga.

 

Yoga is a way of life and practicing yoga can form deeper connections both internally and externally. The basis of my teaching philosophy is that yoga can benefit all body types; if you can move with your breath, you can benefit from yoga.

​

I strongly believe in the sisterhood of women and that we can help and support each other. At my home studio that is "om yoga arts", I want women to know that it can be a place of refuge from their busy lives and that they can relax and rejuvenate through their yoga practice.
