About
Yoga changed my life. I walked into my first yoga class depressed and significantly overweight, and from that very first class I have known that yoga is It for me. It is the best tool I have ever found to feel my connection with the outside world, with my body, and with my internal landscape.
I have repeatedly seen the practices of yoga transform lives, starting with my own (that’s right, I am no longer depressed or overweight). As I began to teach, I saw how people moved out of pain, how they got stronger, more flexible, more emotionally stable. People would tell me they were sleeping better, that their headaches and backaches were gone. People would say that they had begun to reconnect to their spirituality. And all this from a bit of breathing and stretching.
In the five years that I have been teaching, I have logged almost 4000 hours of experience, both in group and private settings. My main influence, both as a teacher and as a practitioner of yoga, comes from the Krishnamacharya lineage. I have travelled to India twice to study with TKV Desikachar and his teachers at the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram and I now consider Mark Whitwell to be one of my most influential teachers.
I believe yoga can help what ails, and it can help everybody, so I try to make my classes accessible to everyone, from beginner to advanced, flexible or not, at any age or level of health, including those with chronic conditions and disabilities.
