I have been involved with yoga for over 30 years. I have I embrace every aspect of yoga. I fully live & breathe the yoga lifestyle. I started using Bikram Yoga in 2011 as a holistic way to help with Thyroid issues. The series healed me in ways I never knew were possible. I soon discovered that 1000's of others had practiced this series on their healing journeys for many other health reasons. Which is why I chose to teach this style of yoga above all others.

SPECIAL EVENTS TEACHER

BKS Iyengar

Scoliosis brought the gift of curiosity to me about the inner workings of my body and the corresponding mental patterns. 

In my case correct boundaries had not been established, as a result improper defence mechanisms were installed. 

I spent years reprogramming my response to life and from this practice came the concept Meet the Resistance for Yoga Équanimité. It has been my experience that when we remain present for the acts of life we gain an insight to our moment of growth and we are able to institute a state of equanimity.
