Teacher

I found yoga in my early twenties but didn’t start practicing regularly until after the birth of my two daughters. Classes were originally an escape from my family responsibilities but quickly became sacred time where I could reconnect with myself. It didn’t take long for me to begin to cherish those moments on my mat – where all I had to do, was breathe and feel. Yoga and meditation became linked to my wellbeing.

I decided to embark on Teacher Training in 2017 as a way to deepen my own practice. I had no intention of teaching then. However,  when I did my practicum, I was overwhelmed by this feeling that I could be of service by sharing what I love about this practice. I didn’t realize it at the time but accepting the calling to teach would become an integral part of my life. Yoga has been my anchor through thick and thin. I feel honoured to help guide others in their practice.
