My health journey began with a focus on weight loss, and over the course of 20 years—losing 60 pounds along the way—it evolved into a holistic transformation of mind, body, and spirit. My passion for teaching emerged while working as an instructional aide for Microbiology and Biochemistry labs during my studies at Arizona State University, where I earned a B.S. in Human Nutrition.
After completing my degree, I redirected my focus toward overall well-being and, in 2015, discovered yoga. It was love at first flow. Committed to deepening my practice, I obtained my 200-hour yoga teacher certification in 2020 and earned my E-RYT 500 designation in 2024.
Teaching is my passion, driven by a profound desire to serve and share the knowledge I have gained with as many people as possible. I strive to empower others to heal, connect mind and body, quiet the mind, and, most importantly, cultivate the courage and openness of a yogic heart.
In addition to teaching yoga, I am a nutritionist and business analyst. I enjoy cooking, gardening, spending time with family, continuing my education, and, above all, integrating the Eight Limbs of Yoga into my daily life. I have a particular passion for Ashtanga and maintain a dedicated daily practice.
