I have been practicing yoga for 12 years. Through this practice I began a journey of self inquiry which led me toward an intense independent study of yoga philosophy, and applications. I completed my first 200hr teacher training at the White Lotus Foundation in Santa Barbara, CA in 2006 and began teaching yoga when I moved to Spain the following year. I started by volunteering yoga classes at a Military Hospital in Rota, Spain. As the classes grew, I was inspired by the needs of my students to continue my studies by completing a 500hr teacher training at the Escuela Internacional de Yoga in Marbella, Spain and another 200hr training in Tarifa, Spain.

I also completed a 500hr massage and water therapy course and began to incorporate therapeutic yoga in my teachings.

My most recent yoga pilgrimage was in India for an intensive month long study at the  Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram (KYM). At KYM, I deepened my own practice by emphasizing the therapeutic power of the breath and its calming effects on the mind and body. As an avid traveler and former expat, I have a very diverse background in yoga and have seen how yoga and all its infinite possibilities cuts through all barriers; cultural, social, and economic. It is my passion to encourage the unity of yoga in the global community, which first starts in the individual.

I am excited to be back in California and look forward to teaching at the Holistic Movement Center. Through my classes I hope to galvanize others to practice self-awareness and cultivate meaningful relationships with themselves, others, and nature.
