My philosophy on yoga:
Yoga is for all.
Come as you are.
This is your yoga practice.
It is about progress, not perfection.
Breath calmly and deeply.
Build strength, stability, and flexibility.
Take care of yourself.
Let go of thoughts and ideas that do not serve you.
Be mindful and peaceful.
Connect with yourself.
Connect with your soul.

I've been practicing yoga asana for nearly 20 years. In 2020, I decided to take my practice further. I attended Bhakti Yogshala and Yogamu Yoga Teacher Training and received my 200 and 300 hour certification. Now I am a Hatha Yoga Teacher, bringing strength, stability, and flexibility to my students. I love yoga and it has brought calmness and mindfulness into my life.
