Born in raised in New York, I began practicing yoga in 2014 while in high school to learn more about myself and reclaim my body. The summer after I graduate high school, I did a 200-hour yoga training intensive at Kaia Yoga in Westport, CT (https://www.kaiayoga.com/). I then began my undergraduate studies in human rights and anthropology at Duke University, where I taught free classes to peers in my free time. I have been practicing for eight years now.
