I would like to offer my loving gratitude to my mentor Joan Suval and Shri Brahmananda Sarasvati for the guidance, grace, and love which they brought into my life and to thank John O’Brien, Kesava Das as well as the other incredible yoga teachers whom I was fortunate to meet for all the inspiration. I would also like to acknowledge all my students for teaching me in turn and giving me the opportunity to grow and share my passion for wellness and my belief that every one of us has the right to own our journey and experience wholeness, clarity, and joy.

 

I knew there was a quiet place somewhere, a sanctuary where there was no need for answers because there were no questions. I searched and traveled many places, not knowing that this journey was always inward. Where wellbeing abounds.

My introduction to yoga came through the tradition of kundalini and hatha yoga. I noticed that my practice gradually began to influence many aspects of my life. My dedication to learning more about how this restoration system can help us maintain balance in our multifaceted lives led me to pursue further training as a yoga teacher.

 I have a passion for living in a well-balanced way that promotes personal growth and nurtures well-being in every aspect of life.  I truly believe that even in the midst of challenges we can cultivate mindfulness and learn to mitigate stress through honoring the need for rest and relaxation.

I encourage each of you to take the first step towards creating space in your busy day for bringing peace back into your world and allow it to empower your life.

I look forward to the joy of sharing the insights of my wellness practice with you!
