I was first introduced to yoga through a South Asian philosophy course in college. As an Anthropology major, I focused on Asian studies and then moved to Japan where I taught English for 2 years. I love learning and sharing with others, so I earned a Master’s Degree in Teaching ESOL (English to Speakers of Other Languages). This allowed me to travel the world and help build bridges between cultures. I taught at four universities in three countries and brought my yoga practice with me wherever I went. The ability of yoga and meditation to bring people together regardless of linguistic or cultural differences was priceless.

While expecting my first child, prenatal yoga brought my practice to a whole new level, gifting me the physical, mental, and emotional strength, courage, and sense of community that would be so important in motherhood. This inspired me to shift my teaching focus from ESOL to yoga. As my family grew, so did my practice, and I adapted my traditional Vinyasa practice to include them in it. From Prenatal to Postnatal to Baby & Me to Kids, yoga & meditation has been my anchor while navigating life’s changes. In addition to these trainings, I completed certifications in Yin yoga, Reiki, and Sound meditation and am a student of Metta (Loving Kindness) meditation.

I see yoga & meditation as practices for all ages and stages of life. I’m especially inspired by my senior clients who continue their practice through the decades, and I look forward to doing the same.
