I discovered yoga when I was 15 years old, and I instantly fell in love with everything about it. The practice of yoga became a part of me and allowed me to find myself in ways that I never knew existed.

In 2018, I completed my first 200hr teacher training so that I could not only deepen my own connection to yoga, but so that I could share this holistic practice with others too. I teach a dynamic vinyasa class that embodies the union of the mind, body and breath. My classes allow for individual discovery and creativity as we move through strong and playful asanas while integrating mindfulness of the breath and the self.

My intention is to share as much of my light, love and knowledge with you, so that you can continue expanding into the most authentic version of yourself. I can’t wait to share your Yoga Journey with you.
