My relationship with mindfulness and yoga
I was first introduced to the practice in 2014, while I spent time helping a commercial client open her first yoga studio. Seeing her bring that space to life, and supporting her along the way, sparked an interest to experience this discipline and develop my own connection to it. I have been hooked ever since!
This practice has nurtured and sustained me through stressful, and at time painful stages of life. It has also brough light and hope to everything I do.
In 2021, I decided to deepen my knowledge and explore how I could use this discipline in the service of others. I enlisted in the prestigious 200HR yoga teacher training program at the Integral Yoga Institute in New York, where I specialized in Hatha Yoga and Pranayama practice. The experience of becoming a certified instructor changed me deeply.
My hope is that through sharing this practice, I can help people discover a path to self-love, self-acceptance, and peace.
What is Hatha Yoga?
Hatha yoga is one of the oldest styles of yoga. It involves doing physical poses called asanas and breathing techniques called pranayama. It was created many centuries ago as a way to prepare the body for meditation and as a breath control practice.
Today, people do hatha yoga for many reasons. The breathing exercises and meditative postures can help you reduce stress.

Hatha yoga is a slower practice, and you'll hold poses for longer than you would in a flow-style yoga class. This means it's a great practice for beginners and for people who want a more gentle activity that can help reduce stress and create mind-body awareness.
