My goal is to make yoga accessible, to teach the many different layers of the practice, and to help people to reconnect with their mind, body and breath. I strive to continue studying to deepened my love for this Art and support people in their life journey. Off the mat, I have been a Chef most of my career - being at service to others is central to who I am. I am looking forward to connect with our community on the mat!
