I train with some of the best yoga teachers in the world and am dedicated to spreading the positive impacts of yoga throughout my community and the world.
I have always felt a strong connection with the divine through the practice of yoga and I feel honored to share that connection with others through my classes. I am inspired by the infinite potential of the human body and love being a part of its transformation through practice.
