I teach yoga always with the intention that my students will experience freedom; freedom from stress, and freedom from negative thoughts about themselves and others. I love when a new person comes to a class, stays and then later shares with me the positive impact yoga has had in their life. Just one class a week can change how you feel and how you react to stress.

Teaching yoga is my calling, I left a successful career to open my studio, I feel like I am a part of a community now, I love making yoga accessible to all types of people. When I run through the streets of Brooklin it is rare that I don’t meet someone who has visited my studio. In this fast paced world I feel grateful to have such a great community to live and teach in.

When I am not teaching yoga I am running or cycling or just sitting around reading yoga philosophy with my Golden Retrievers at my feet. I also love to laugh so in my downtime I like to rent funny movies.

Last July I began my study of Tantric Yoga in Thailand, I spent 5 weeks at the Agama School, where I deepened my knowledge of yoga. I intend to return to the Agama school on Koh Phangon, Thailand for several years, as there are very few Tantric Schools left in the world. Upon my return from this trip I entered into a weeklong intensive Yoga Therapy course.

I have developed curriculum for a RYT 200 level yoga teacher training program and am working on an addition 300 hour course. Our studio is recognized by the Yoga Alliance, an international association that sets yoga teacher training standards, we are a Registered Yoga School.(RYS) Upon graduation a student qualifies to be RYT 200, I personally am E-RYT 500, the “E” stands for experienced.

I love yoga and believe that Durham Region has a wide variety of amazing yoga to offer, because of this several years ago I founded the Durham Yoga Festival, an all date event which is a collaborative event between a variety of studios and teachers in Durham Region, this event is a fundraiser for local youth charities.

I hope to always be a student of yoga but also to be able to offer to the Brooklin community the very best of yoga.
