Grace. Strength. Joy.

Together, these three pillars form the compass of my teaching and daily practice.Grace grants us the gentleness to flow through life’s transitions.Strength gives us the stability to stand rooted within ourselves.Joy invites us to celebrate each moment with an open, curious heart.My hope is to offer a space where you can weave these qualities into your own rhythm—building a practice that feels grounded, fluid, and deeply freeing.

Namaste.

From the moment I stepped onto the mat, I knew this path would become my life’s devotion. What started as a physical practice quickly expanded into a profound, lifelong exploration of movement, mind, and energy.Over the past decade, my curiosity has led me to study diverse modalities that shape how I move and teach today.My foundation began in traditional Basic Ashtanga and Vinyasa, later expanding into the soft, restorative depths of Yin Yoga and MyoYin Yoga.To support students through every stage of life, I specialized in Prenatal and Post-Natal Yoga, while my fascination with dynamic, fluid movement drew me to complete trainings in Budokon Yoga and Budokon Mobility.Parallel to physical movement, stillness and looking inward have been a cornerstone of my life. Since 2014, I have walked the mindfulness path within the Plum Village lineage of Thich Nhat Hanh, cultivating deep presence and heart-centered awareness. I have also trained in meditation with Jack Kornfield, completing programs in the Power of Awareness and Interactive Guided Meditation.To further support holistic healing, I integrated Reiki and Sound Healing into my offerings, weaving vibrational medicine and energetic balance into the physical and mental practices.
I believe yoga is far more than physical postures—it is a compassionate approach toward building a meaningful relationship with ourselves and the world around us.
Through dedicated practice, we develop the self-awareness and mindfulness necessary to navigate life’s internal and external challenges. By turning inward with clarity and kindness, we learn to meet every moment with strength, grace, and joy—strength to stay grounded in our truth, grace to soften through transitions, and joy to celebrate the simple gift of being present.Whether you join me for dynamic movement, quiet meditation, or restorative energy work, my intention is to hold space for you to reconnect with your own innate wisdom, resilience, and inner ease.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be flexible or experienced to start?

Not at all. Yoga is a practice of meeting your body where it is today. Classes and sessions are adapted to suit all experience levels, from absolute beginners to experienced practitioners.

What should I bring or prepare for a session?

Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely. A standard yoga mat is recommended. For restorative practices like Yin or Sound Healing, having a blanket, bolster, or cushion nearby can enhance your comfort.

Pre-Natal Yoga: Is it safe to join at any stage of pregnancy?

Pre-Natal classes are tailored to support your changing body across all trimesters. However, please consult your healthcare provider or OB-GYN before beginning any physical practice, especially during your first trimester or if you have a high-risk pregnancy condition.

Post-Natal Yoga: When can I safely start practicing after giving birth?

Generally, practitioners wait around 6 weeks postpartum after a standard vaginal delivery, or 8–12 weeks following a C-section. Medical clearance from your healthcare professional is required before resuming physical movement to ensure your body is ready for core and pelvic recovery.

Private Classes: How are 1-on-1 sessions personalized?

Before our first session, we will discuss your goals, current physical health, and any areas you wish to focus on—whether that is building strength, working through a specific movement, or deep relaxation. Every practice is tailored specifically to your needs and pace.

Private Classes: Are sessions held online or in person?

Sessions can be hosted online via high-quality video or in person, depending on location and availability. Online private sessions allow you to practice comfortably from your own space.

Private Classes: What is the cancellation policy?

I ask for at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling so we can adjust the timetable accordingly and accommodate other students.

Public Classes: How do I join or book a spot?

You can check my current public schedule via the links on this website or social media channels, where booking links for studios or online group events are updated regularly.

Public Classes: What if I have an injury or health consideration?

Please inform me before class begins so I can offer appropriate variations and modifications throughout the flow to keep your practice safe and comfortable.
