I am a positive person who believes that each person has an unlimited potential. With positive encouragment people are eager to try and challenge themseves. Through challenge I discovered how capable and talented I am. I have a unique talent as a teacher. I am passionate about teaching and I believe that every person has a gift and once that talent is discovered every person can be truly happy. Yoga is one of my best teachers. It's part of my everyday life. It helps me release tension, energize myself and be who I am. I am a truly happy and smiley person because I love what I do.

I have been working with students since 1999, but I was officially certified as a high school teacher in 2006. I moved to Canada in 2006 and since 2009 I have been teaching Mathematics. In my classes I implement some yoga elements as students nowadays deal with a lot of stress. We do stretches, we talk about forgiveness, fear, gratitude, judgement, love, happiness, and I teach them how to breath properly and meditate because I believe that through pranayama(breathing techniques) and meditation students can calm their nervous system down and be accademically successful at school and later in life. Once after we practised yoga for 75 minutes, they loved it so much that they wanted to practice yoga again because they felt the benefits of it. 

I have a talent to share my happiness and joy with others and make them feel happy and relaxed.
