I have practiced classical dancing for over 12 years. I moved to Montreal and studied multimedia and stopped my Ballet classes. I began working in medium and big companies mainly in the Multimedia sector and Pharmaceutical industry. 8 years ago, to help coping with the work demands and stress, I began to explore different disciplines like meditation, Tai Chi and Yoga. I felt particularly inspired by yoga so I left my job and started studying yoga full-time and teaching.

I studied different styles of yoga : Hatha, Ashtanga and Anusara yoga. Following my training with Karen Claffey at Heaven Studio, I was accredited by Yoga Alliance as well as la Fédération Francophone de Yoga. I also studied with different teachers such as Mark Darby and his son Shankara. Mark Darby is one of the rare teachers who is accredited by Pattabhi Jois, founder of Ashtanga Yoga, to teach the original method.

Since then I founded Saucha Yoga a company that teaches yoga to employees in their workplace. What's better than to earn a living from your passion:)

I travel regularly on vacation and to study with different teachers around the world.

I am an outgoing person, connected to the students and adapt classes to their needs, reading their body language. I teach with compassion and grace and my classes are fun. My mission is to create an environment conducive to finding balance, wellbeing and inner peace.

Recently when I was in Hawaii I tried Paddleboard Yoga and fell in love with it. Hope to be able to practice soon.
