"Ignorance, egoism, attachment, aversion, and clinging to bodily life are the five obstacles"                                                                 -Yoga Sutras, Patanjali

I found Yoga when I needed it most. Suffering from sports injuries and mental health issues in my thirties, I started to think about moving and living differently. Yoga classes helped open the door further for me, to begin learning more about the transformative power of Yoga. 

​

Following my interest in Yoga studies I pursued a Yoga Teacher's training followed by a two-year 800+ hour Comprehensive Yoga Therapy course with The Yogalife Institute in 2022 where I studied functional anatomy, physiology, classical Yoga philosophy and psychology, Yoga lifestyle coaching, Yoga diagnostic tools, Yoga interventions for modern disease conditions, and adaptive and therapeutic Yoga practices.

​

What made Yogalife unique? I realized a connection with my teacher Dr. Bob Butera who, in the lineage of his teacher Dr. Jayadeva Yogendra - founder of the world reknonwed Yoga Institute near Mumbai, India - emphasized a balanced lifestyle and undestanding one's own psychology, above mere physical exercise.

I encourage those who want to feel better and improve their quality of life, or who are curious about change and where to begin to give Yoga Therapy a try.
