I am a 200 ERYT and currently working toward 500 RYT. I am also a Jikiden Reiki Practitioner who studied the original form of reiki in Japan. Before becoming a yoga teacher, I studied Tae Kwan Do, Kung Fu and Tai Chi. While I grew up in Japan, I studied flower arrangement, tea ceremony and calligraphy. What I found to be the common element in all these different disciplines is the importance of breathing. My passion is to help people to stay healthy and active as long as possible in their lives.
