Summary

As a dedicated and passionate yoga instructor, I specialize in Vinyasa yoga and teach a variety of styles, including Intermediate, Yin, Restorative, and Beginners yoga. I strive to create a nurturing environment where students of all levels can grow and evolve in their practice. As a Reiki Level II certified practitioner, I integrate energy healing into my sessions to support balance, relaxation, and inner peace. With additional studies in holistic nutrition and sonography, I offer a comprehensive understanding of health, enhancing my approach to wellness. My goal is to guide individuals in deepening their connection to their bodies and minds, fostering well-being through mindful movement, breath, and holistic practices both on and off the mat.
