I started my teaching journey early in 2009 and completed 500 hours of teacher training with studies in Costa Rica, Mexico and India with Frog Lotus Yoga International in 2011.

I am currently certified and teaching yoga in North Bay, Ontario, Canada.

Additionally I am certified to teach paddleboard yoga or SUP yoga through H2YO, with trainings completed in Orlando, 2013. I have taught thousands of hours to date and will continue to practice and teach for thousands more. I enjoy seeing students light up and enjoy yoga at any and all levels. Empowered by my many teachers over the years, I feel obligated to teach the most authentic, safe and meaningful yoga to every student I meet from beginners and first timers to the most advanced students out there. I am convinced that Yoga is, as B.K.S. Iyengar calls it, a path to holistic health. Yoga, practiced regularly, will make you strong, supple, radiantly healthy and give you a deep sense of well-being. Yogic philosophy will bring unimaginable depth and meaning to your life and offer you an amazing path to waking up and living your life more fully and more consciously. My classes produce strength and vitality for the body and mind, mental and physical balance, detoxification, flexibility and stamina.
