Introduction: I am a certified yoga instructor. (RYT 200 Hour Certification)
Physical and mental wellbeing have always been important to me. I grew up in
ballet studios, which taught me the importance of discipline, strength and well-being.
However it was not until I found yoga that I felt truly connected and content with my
body. I took my first Ashtanga Yoga class while living in Florence, Italy pursuing my
Masters Degree. The class was candlelit with expansive windows that opened up over the
River Arno. I still remember how intimidated I felt as a beginner, walking into an
unknown. Looking back I could not be happier that I took that first step into this journey.
In 2012 I completed the 5 week long 200-hour certification at the Sivananda
Ashram Yoga Retreat on Paradise Island, Bahamas. This immersion and exposure to the
classical philosophy of the Hatha Yoga gave me a greater understanding of the practice
that I am continually eager to share. I am devoted to the practice and have found that it is
rewarding and effective to incorporate the teachings of multiple yoga traditions,
plyometric exercise and dance technique into our own lives.
