Facilitator for 200 HR Yoga Teacher Trainings for The Kula Collective & Awakened spirit yoga
Following two significant foot surgeries, the practice of yoga played a vital role in my recovery, facilitating both my mental and physical rehabilitation and guiding me back to myself. This transformative journey led me to rediscover the love within, allowing me to reconnect and heal…and also lead me to India to study the teachings of Yoga.
With over 18 years of personal yoga practice, my journey took a turn when I spent six months studying in India. As an assistant to an esteemed teacher of the 'Iyengar method' during a 200-hour yoga training in Rishikesh, India, I gained invaluable insights. One particular quote that stuck with me was: "Teach yoga as an offering." This experience highlighted the significance of giving back through teaching yoga and sharing the profound gifts I have acquired along my path.
In my classes, I strive to create a vibrant and secure space for students to explore, expand, express, and release. My primary goal is to empower students on their inward journey and encourage them to fully embrace the present moment using yoga as a powerful tool. Through breath-centered movement, I guide students to navigate mental and physical challenges, leading them towards a state of integrated awareness, acceptance, and capability, where bliss resides.
During my light-hearted yet invigorating vinyasa classes, I motivate students to step outside their comfort zones while maintaining a playful mindset. Flexibility, core stability, and strength development are emphasized, accompanied by a focus on proper alignment using props and offering appropriate hands-on adjustments inspired by Thai massage. These adjustments deepen the poses, often resulting in enlightening "ah-ha" moments of realization.
I hold the intention that each student leaves my class feeling refreshed, re-energized, and stronger in both body and spirit. My ultimate aspiration is for every individual to carry the sense of self-empowerment cultivated on the mat and spread loving kindness, contributing to a more conscious and compassionate world.
Thank you for joining me on this journey. Namaste.
