Yoga: "I discovered my interest in yoga when I was less than 6 years old. My mother would take my brother and I with her to yoga. While she took class we would watch tv in a nearby room. After hearing the student chant 'om' before and after class I became so curious I asked to join in. It was from the experience a new journey was born. I loved yoga so much that I decided to become a teacher. I'm confident others will benefit from and love the practice as much as I do!"

Belly Dance: "It was in Dubai, UAE that I first encountered the exotic and spellbinding movements of belly dance. A professional dancer by the name of Graciela Pischner witnessed me dance and encouraged me to pursue the art form myself. With great determination I set forth to discover this new dance. I look forward to sharing this exciting, sensual, fun, and liberating dance from the east. "
