What brought you to yoga?
A spark of curiosity led me to my first yoga class nearly 25 years ago. Since then, I’ve embraced the profound power of consistent practice, overcoming self-limitations and nurturing a deep, ever-evolving connection between mind, body, and spirit.

What’s your yoga background and what are you most passionate about teaching?
I have immersed myself in various yoga lineages, including Kundalini Yoga (500-hour, Level 2), Vinyasa (300-hour), and Ghosh/26&2. I’m deeply passionate about yoga philosophy and history, and I focus my teaching on the sacred connection between breath, movement, and sound. My intention is to create uplifting, heart-opening experiences that invite each individual to explore their own unique journey.

What would your students be surprised to know about you?
In the serene mountains of New Mexico, I underwent a profound transformation during three consecutive 62-minute meditations, chanting 'Sat Nam' (I am truth). Just moments after this ecstatic experience, I met my now husband.
