I started practicing yoga about fifteen years ago, as cross-training for dance and figure skating, the movement forms that I mainly teach and perform. I soon found myself growing not only physically stronger and more flexible, but more emotionally and mentally grounded as well. I fell in love with the practice, started working the front desk at a studio in Vancouver (my home town). In 2016 I completed my 200-hour teacher training with a wonderful, wise Hatha teacher, Sasha Bahador (Gaiatri Yoga). I started teaching at YYoga in Vancouver, and later, Mosaic Yoga in Toronto. These days, with Lab West as my home base, I teach movement through many lenses; to yogis, dancers, figure skaters, and gymnasts. I love discovering the crossovers and differences between these disciplines, the ways they can complement and enhance one another, and how yoga can help us recover from all the other amazing things we do with our bodies.

Yoga has been a constant in my life for more than 15 years now, and I have been sharing that love and watching it grow since opening the doors of Just Breathe Yoga Studio in 2009. I have met and shared in practiced with countless beautiful souls and amazing people over the years, and those encounters have allowed me to grow and learn as a teacher. The Yoga community here in Labrador West continues to blossom and thrive and it fills me with pride and happiness to have seen it unfold and become such a place of peace, calm, energy and growth. Namaste to all that have shared. I look forward to meeting new faces, reconnecting with old and moving forward together on our yoga journey.
