Hello
Thank you for being here.
These are my two little bundles of joy - Grace and Oliver.
Practicing yoga throughout my pregnancies, and postpartum, served me so beautifully - not only physically, but mentally and emotionally as well, that it is something I passionately share with other women.

My Yoga Journey
I spent 9 years in the Advertising industry climbing up the ladder. Over a few years, I developed pain in my hip joints, and when I couldn't ignore it anymore, I decided to commit to a 30-day online beginner yoga practice that a friend had shared with me. That was in 2016, and I haven't stopped practicing yoga ever since.
​
I did my first Vinyasa Yoga Teacher Training in 2018, and have subsequently done 2 additional trainings (Yin Yoga & Pre & Postnatal Yoga). While I have enjoyed the physical benefits that this practice offers - greater strength, balance & flexibility - it is the mindfulness and inner peace I experience that keeps me returning to my mat.
​
Yoga allows me to get out of my head and into my physical body. I have learned how to center & ground myself during times of difficulty, and to move through life with greater self-compassion, awareness, and gratitude. This has been particularly useful as I navigate the ups and downs of motherhood.
​
I hope to welcome you to one of my classes soon.
