Living the Practice

In 2003, my Mother bought me a Yoga & Pilates DVD from Costco, I practiced in my dorm room in private.

My Yoga Journey really began in 2005 as a means for a ‘work out’, through 2013, I had a love hate relationship with the Yoga practice. The positive impact was undeniable and prompted my making a lifetime commitment to immersing in the Yoga Practice in 2014.

Fast forward to 2017 my Yoga Practice had grown from Asana based into the Eight Limbs of Patanjali. When several life changing events catapulted me into the unknown and to finally living my truth. To expand through the Yoga Teacher training journey, which led to connections with teachers within many lineages including Krishnamacharya, his son T.K.V. Desikachar (Viniyoga), B.K.S. Iyengar, and K. Pattabhi Jois (Ashtanga).

All of life’s beautiful chaos led to the birth of this dream. To the opening of my heart to build this community and share the practice with you.
