Summary

Passionate yoga teacher with over 5+ years of experience in practicing various forms of yoga. In June 2023, I completed 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh, India under Yogi Yashpal, and acquired an in-depth knowledge about postures, breathing techniques, and spiritual elements of yoga teaching.


As a yoga instructor, I draw inspiration from my travels, environment, and past mentors and colleagues. I design my classes to help my students achieve physical, spiritual and mental wellness through asanas and breathing techniques that reduce stress, anxiety, and common health issues. I want my students to feel refreshed, renewed, and motivated after each class by setting clear intentions and cultivating positive mindsets. I create a safe and supportive space for my students to heal and grow stronger. By providing personal assists and detailed instructions to ensure proper alignment, I strive to encourage students to form a daily practice to build a strong foundation in their own lives.
