My Journey
Yoga is more than a pose; it is a way of life. My approach is to blend the therapeutic, physiological, and energetic benefits that support total health and spiritual well-being.
I am committed to sharing the practice of yoga as a lifestyle. I provide a safe, inviting space to be present with yourself, inquire, learn, practice, reflect, and arm you with ancient "human" practices to bring into your daily life.
I believe we all hold the answers within. Many of us find yoga later in our lives when we have reached our breaking point and seek something more. The key is to become aware of the signs before the stressor manifests into unhealthy decisions, patterns, or diseases.
Life is ever-changing, change is infinite and it doesn't have to be so hard.
In 2010, I experienced a panic attack and spent several days in the hospital. This experience led me to a therapist who told me, simply, "you need to breathe". I learned how to breathe with awareness. Through practice, I began to feel at ease. This simple practice led me to yoga, meditation, and inspired me to teach.
I created sustainable habits of breathwork, meditation, mantras which transformed my attitude towards work and relationships into contentment, abundance, and joy, and is my mission to share how with you.
The majority of my professional sales career I spent on the road and had the opportunity to practice and study at yoga studios around the world. I became well versed in all facets of yoga and other healing modalities. I settled in with "classical yoga lineage" from the Yogalife Institute in Wayne, PA.
