My yoga journey began in 2002 when I started working as a receptionist at City Yoga in West Hollywood, CA. 

In 2003, I did my Anusara Teacher Trainings with Anthony Benenati, Restorative with Shari Goodhartz and Pre-Natal with Jessica Jennings and got my 500 hour Yoga Alliance Certification during Covid. 

I believe yoga joyfully enhances our lives, relieving the tension and stress we all deal with. Join me and let’s celebrate life, love and the world around us. Add a short description.

I’ve been trained in Hatha  yoga  and I’ve been teaching about ten years. Yoga to me is one of those gifts that helps in terms of the body and the mind . Being able to  share this experience has been such an important part of my life: to help people learn more about themselves , body and mind. Like anything in our lives, that to which we devote time to makes us realise  how much more there is to learn !

Just your average anxious corporate girl: I could never sit still and meditate. I came to yoga out of curiosity, casually at first, but found myself coming back and practicing more regularly once I started noticing the difference it made in my everyday life.

Forever a student, I signed up for teacher training to deepen my own practice and learn more about the history of yoga. Somewhere along the way, I discovered how much I enjoyed helping others develop their own practice.

I started teaching in studios before moving online during the pandemic. Over the years, our virtual classes grew into a community of dedicated yogis who genuinely enjoy practicing together. I especially love getting to meet and practice with people from all over. Today, I teach both public and private classes on Zoom.

My classes are a slow Hatha flow, easy to follow and accessible to all levels. I offer options and modifications so everyone can explore their practice, move at their own pace, and find what works for them.

One of my favorite things about teaching is seeing people enjoy their practice and leave class feeling better than when they walked in. I believe in the benefits of yoga, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to share my practice with others.
