I grew up a small-town girl, with big-city dreams…
I have always been a seeker of truth, an explorer and a traveller, inspired by this journey of self-discovery and growth.
I don’t know about you, but for most of my life I have been an ‘all or nothing kind of girl’, so if something caught my interest I jumped right into it and it was no different with yoga. Within a year after taking my first yoga class, I quit my job and ventured to Maui for my first 200-hour yoga teacher training.
I know, perfect escape plan, I hear ya 🤘
Life is never straightforward, it throws its challenges at us, and like many other people, I found myself going through a dark period of my life.
Anxiety and depression weren’t new to me, I had been struggling with it most of my life, but the loss of both of my parents within less than two years completely shook up my world and threw me back into major depression and burnout. I found myself at a crossroads.
In yoga, I found an outlet for depression, anxiety, and grief. Through regular practice, I learned to ground myself, let go of fear, embrace trust, and connect with the healing power of my heart.
It’s been a pretty wild rollercoaster of emotions and there were definitely more downs than ups to start with, but each time I stepped on the mat, it felt like I was coming closer to ‘home’.
Yoga offered me a gateway to my emotions and along this journey of self-discovery, I found my truth and the key to living a more authentic life, which is led by the heart rather than the mind.
I never really thought I belonged in this world until I ‘met’ yoga and the community that came with it.
My mission is to empower individuals to reconnect with their essence through the transformative practice of yoga. By cultivating self-acceptance and self-love from within I help my students to embrace their uniqueness and find the courage to live in alignment with their truth.
Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu.
May all beings everywhere be happy and free, and may the thoughts, words, and actions of my own life contribute in some way to that happiness and to that freedom for all.
