I often respond that Yoga found me instead of I finding it; and when I most needed it. It was both a mixture of curiosity and an urgent need for a life change that prompted me to walk into my first class. Although, I thought I would never come back to the class because of the difficulties I 'thought' I had encountered with my body :) the patience and guidance of my instructors persuaded me to keep on. Now, almost twelve years later, I give thanks everyday for this wonderful gift; not only for the physical benefits but for the wonderful community to which I now belong, for the vast possibilities I now contemplate, and for seeing life through different eyes. There have been various teachers who have in many ways shaped my practice and to them I give thanks; Lisa Coccia, Steven Porter, Marcus Reynier Pabellon. All with different styles and approaches but all with one definite goal in mind - allowing their students to find and forge their own individual yoga practice. Currently I am 'sharing my yoga mat practice' (teaching yoga) at various locations, both studio and fitness center set up; yet I do my best to create for my students an environment that allows them to access a sense of peace of body, mind & spirit. Most importantly though, my goal is for those taking my classes to find and create their own practice according to their individual needs. Since I started teaching, I have guided students in Hatha, Vinyasa, Restorative Yoga, Warm/Hot yoga, Gentle yoga & Aqua Yoga. I complement these with my personal practice of Anti Gravity (Aerial yoga) and Acro-yoga as well.
