About me
Yoga has been a part of my life since childhood, thanks to my father, who introduced me to breathing techniques and Sun Salutations when I was a child. In my 20s, I discovered Iyengar yoga in New York with Lucienne Vidah, who trained under B.K.S. Iyengar. I continued my practice at the Iyengar Institute in Paris, with Kimberly Mitchell in Sydney.
After leaving my career in finance when I moved to California, I embraced a slower pace of life and decided to share my love of yoga with others. I completed my 200-hour Hatha yoga certification and I am now training under the supervision of both Jito Yumibe and Birgit Reimer with the aim of becoming a certified Iyengar instructor in the near future.
I bring over 25 years of yoga practice to my teaching. I am deeply passionate about fostering the mind-body connection, guiding my students to embrace an uninhibited yoga practice free from self-judgment and comparison. I believe that yoga offers an opportunity to calm the mind through attentive, mindful movement. As a teacher, I aim to inspire my students on their yoga journey, using props in creative ways to help them explore and refine their poses.
My dad was practicing yoga long before I was born. I was very lucky to be exposed to yoga at an early age.
