I've been teaching yoga for over 18 years. Starting with a certification in Hatha Yoga, this practice helped to strengthen, balance and open my body, mind and emotions. I later combined it with my reiki training and am now a certified Integrated Shakti Reiki Master. This has allowed for a more relaxing and healing experience. My Kundalini certification deepened my awareness of subtle energy and my intuition as a teacher, allowing my students easier access to their own intuitive awarenesses. Mixed with intuitive movement, I've learned to share the power of awareness through the body. My Yin yoga level 1&2 certification deepen this level of awareness. Completing this place of Being, I completed a Restorative Yoga Training with Cindi Lee. I’ve completed a Mystic Shamen Training with Dr. Barbara Raven Lee who is a Tibetan Bon Buddhist, a shakti, and a mystic shamen teacher. This brings in the power of the feminine and teaches how to just “Be” with self compassion and wisdom. To deepen my yoga experience, I’ve completed a 300 hour yoga training in 2019. Currently, I’m teaching to a population suffering from addiction and mental illness, so I completed the Warrior at Ease Level 1 Yoga Training as well as the iRest Yoga Nidra Meditation level 1 training. I believe that we are constantly growing and changing, and that is reflected in my space as a yoga teacher. If you enjoy a dynamic, yet at the same time, organic, nurturing and healing style, come and give my yoga and meditation class a try.
