“A Soul on Vacation”
An amazing woman and teacher once told me that I am a “soul on vacation”. I think this is pretty much accurate.
I began practicing and fell in love with yoga in the spring of 1995. My journey began as a Bikram Yoga student, which I continued to practice for many years. After moving to San Diego in 1998, I began practicing Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Hatha, and Iyengar yoga as well as exploring the many benefits of pranayama & meditation. I started to notice many changes happening within myself, not only physically but mentally and spiritually as well. Yoga was changing my life & all I wanted to do was learn more about this amazing lifestyle and philosophy. I then completed a 200 hour Yoga Alliance certified program focusing on Power Vinyasa Yoga in San Diego. This experience is what inspired me to become a teacher.
For the past 6 years of my life I have been traveling the world to learn more about myself, more from other incredible teacher’s and to live the life of a “yogi.” I have integrated the teachings and various traditions I have learned and experienced along the way into my own classes to make the practice & understanding of “living yoga” accessible to all. As the manager of International Yoga pavilions, I have taught classes and retreats in San Diego, Guam, Thailand, Morocco, Nicaragua, and now Costa Rica.
This has truly brought to my life a positively serene consciousness that I intend to expand & spread to others! I like to encourage my students to flow with their breath, open their heart, live in the present moment, & relax the mind. I truly love teaching, seeing the transformations my students experience and hope to inspire others through-out my life long journey.
