Coach
Yoga first entered into my life through my career in dance. After facing several injuries, I first learned about yoga as a form of physical therapy and preventative care. Through a consistent practice of yoga and meditation I began to deepen my understanding of the relationship between body and mind. This shifted my perspective on the healing process and has allowed me to guide others with a more holistic approach.
In 2008 I began teaching in my hometown of Berkeley, California. Working with such a diverse community set the tone for my journey as a teacher and has enabled me to adapt to the needs of the individual. In 2010 my practice brought me to New York City. I spent the next four years building an eclectic clientele, discovering new teaching methods, and participating in a several workshops focused in anatomy and yoga therapy. My adventure continued in 2014 when I moved to North Carolina to further my studies in Yoga Therapy with Asheville Yoga Center. This training refined my skills as a teacher and gave me more tools to assist a broader range of conditions.
After receiving my certification in Advanced Yoga Therapy I developed a Wellness and Education Program for Athletes using Yoga Therapy as the foundation. In 2016 I began teaching my program and conducting ongoing research as an adjunct professor at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. In 2018 I presented my research to the Health Wellness and Society Research Network International Conference in London, England and was inspired to further my studies and exploration in the field.
