My practice is rooted in the wisdom of Asia. I am inspired by the intelligence of nature and our ancestral traditions, and how these teachings can continue to inform the way we live, move, and heal.

I began my personal yoga practice over 20 years ago and completed my first teacher training in 2009 during an ashram residency in Rishikesh, India. Since then, I have continued to study and travel throughout Asia, deepening my training in Hatha-Raja, Classical Kundalini, Ashtanga Vinyasa, Vinyasa Flow, Yin, Restorative, Aerial yoga, and meditation. My teaching has also evolved to include strength-based, integrated movement practices that support stability, control, and functional embodiment.

I remain deeply grateful to my teachers, whose guidance continues to inform my practice, and to my departed mother, who taught me through her cancer journey the power of ceaseless love.

“You are not a drop in the ocean; you are the entire ocean in a drop.”
