I was born and raised in Montreal, Quebec, Canada to a Japanese Canadian father and French Canadian mother. I grew up speaking French and English fluently.
I've always loved movement and grew up taking various dance classes (ballet, jazz and hip hop) and playing various sports (badminton, track & field). I've loved aerobics and step aerobics since my teens and have been practising yoga and meditation for 15 years.
I have an engineering degree from McGill University in Montreal and work at a web design company called ExpertMontreal. I recently began my second career as a yoga Instructor and its been the most rewarding job I've ever had.
