In 2012, I decided to go for my 200hr Teacher Training in Therapeutic Yoga and it changed my life forever. While I didn't necessarily teach Therapeutic Yoga, I did incorporate aspects of it into my Hot Vinyasa teachings. I loved to see how my students found harmony in their bodies and craved the sensations that Yoga provides. Truly, its the deep inner connection that we all crave- its the time to slow down to get grounded, to find balance, and to restore our my mind, bodies, and soothe our souls. I loved teaching as much my own practice as well. And well it all became clear to me why Yoga found me...... In 2020 I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and I was able to use all my Yoga Tools to help me navigate through my Cancer journey. My restorative practice and meditation practice became strong and I was able to put my Therapeutic Yoga skills to work. While I was not able to practice the asanas every day, I was able to live my Yoga in another way. Yoga kept me grounded everyday and kept my positivity high to let my body fight. And now fast forward to being Cancer Free- I am back sharing my passion of Yoga with others. Today I teach Hot Vinyasa, Therapeutic Yoga, Yoga for Cancer Recovery, Yoga and Lymphatics, as well as Myofascial Release Yoga- both privates and to groups. I constantly teach my students to LIVE their Yoga- on and off the mat mind, body and soul- bringing harmony in to the 5 Koshas of their lives - to help them navigate through life with peace, love, compassion and STRENGTH!
