Hello

Since young, I rarely enjoyed rejuvenation from sleep. The permanent dark rings around my eyes were a constant reminder that my sleep was not truly restorative. I started seeking ways to get better sleep. I stumbled upon yoga sometime in 2010 at a gym, with my first class being a yin yoga class. The calming effects of a yin practice intrigued me. My body and mind liked it, and the yin practice forever holds a special place in my heart.

​

I have had my share of breakdowns and I have experienced depressive episodes and suicidal tendencies which scared me, but also got me curious about how the mind reacts to stress. This curiosity led me to a life-changing experience in the form of a restorative yoga teacher training, which included studying elements of therapeutics, trauma-informed practices and even a little bit of neurology to understand how the brain works.

​

In class, I see myself as a facilitator gently guiding my students towards a deeper awareness of their body and mind, whether it is in the movement of a vinyasa flow or the stillness of a restorative class. Restorative yoga and Gong are my favourite classes to teach, as I personally experienced how they brought stillness and healing to my life.

​

As a yoga teacher, I have clocked in more than 500h of training, covering yoga asana, meditation, breathwork and mindfulness-based stress reduction techniques. I am also a Level 3 Reiki-attuned practitioner and I love to geek out over energy work and vibrational medicine. In the course of teaching yoga, I learned that there are different strokes for different folks. This is why I prefer to call myself a facilitator, working alongside my student as an individual with unique needs.

​

Slowing down is an aspect of life that many have forgotten; I share my knowledge to remind others (and myself!) to slow down and stay in the moment.
