I was brought to my first hatha yoga class 10 years ago (initially for lower back pain, as a result of standing for many long hours in the hair industry). It wasn't until I took my first hot Moksha yoga class a few years later, that I realized the many benefits that it provided the mind, body and spirit connection, and was hooked ever since!
At that point I realised that my life path was leading me to to become a yoga teacher.
I completed a Bachelors of Education in 1994, but never feeling ‘quite right’ with what the our education system provided students and felt that there was something missing in the curriculum that did not link the mind, body and spirit connection. My passion for philosophy and spirituality lead me to write a thesis called Education For Connection; Beyond Linear Learning and earned a Masters Degree from McGill university in 2003.
Graduating from Moksha Yoga Teacher Training program in 2004, I have since studied with a few highly accredited teachers including John Friend, Judith Lasater, David Life, Michael Stone, and Frank Boccio. With my passion for learning and teaching, I went on to complete Moksha Yoga Teacher Training Level 2 in 2008, where I was trained in yin yoga and deepened my own practice. I love teaching hot yoga and feel truly honoured to guide students in their own yoga practice and path.
