What I Do

I teach yoga to people who want to feel good—because when we feel better, we show up better for ourselves, for others, and for the world. I truly believe that movement is medicine, and yoga, when practiced with awareness, can be a profound tool for healing and transformation.

My journey began with Hatha Yoga, my first doorway into the vast and beautiful Yoga Family. For the past four years, I have shared its wisdom, guiding students through breath, movement, and stillness. But as my understanding of the mind-body connection deepened, I found myself drawn toward a more therapeutic approach, one that honors how yoga feels, not just how it looks.

I don’t focus on achieving perfect postures or bending into impossible shapes. Instead, I focus on why we move, how we breathe, and what each practice can unlock within us. Yoga is an invitation—a way to listen to the body, to create space, to soften and strengthen all at once. And I believe it can help anyone who is willing to commit to the practice. My role is simply to guide, to adapt, and to shape the journey in a way that best serves you.

How I Teach

At my core, I am a student first. And my greatest joy is sharing what I learn with others.

But where does the magic truly happen? In one-on-one practice.

Private sessions allow us to go beyond the surface—to explore not just how you move, but why you feel what you feel. Together, we uncover patterns, listen to the wisdom of the body, and create a practice that nurtures your unique structure, needs, and energy.

Whether you’re stepping onto the mat for the very first time or you’ve been practicing for years, if you feel even the slightest pull to explore deeper, I’d love to take that journey with you.

Because yoga isn’t just something we do. It’s a way we live, breathe, and return to ourselves.
