A dedicated and passionate yoga student and teacher with a rich tapestry of experiences and trainings from around the world.
My journey began as many journeys in the path of yoga begin; with hearing moving anecdotes from pre eminent personalities especially elite athletes and then eventually trying out the practice to make some sense of what all the fuss was about… and well, the rest is history. With a heart full of gratitude and a spirit dedicated to service, I strive to create a supportive and nurturing environment for my students. My classes blend traditional wisdom with modern techniques, offering a holistic approach to well-being. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced practitioner, my goal is to guide you on your unique yoga journey, helping you cultivate inner peace, strength, and balance. Join me on the mat, and let's embark on this transformative journey together.
