"My infatuation with Yoga started in 2009 with a Bikram class. I loved Hot Yoga - so challenging. So mainstream. My first teacher training was a Hot Yoga 500-hour training with 59 other students. My first Kundalini class was a retreat on Denman Island that I mistakenly thought was Hatha Yoga, but it was a pleasant surprise. Then came the decision to travel to India and study at the “Main Shala”. I’ve made 4 trips to India and have studied with Sharathji, Vinay Kumar, Vigneshwar Bhat (Vedic chanting, Upanishads), Shantala Shriramaia, BNS Iyengar, Prajwal Jai, Hemanth Das, Andrew Eppler, Joey Paz and Bryce Delbridge. For me, it is finding that place within, that allows for clarity and peacefulness. And if I can reach out to one student and show them that space, that kind of intimate connection, then I am of service. Each one of us shows up on the mat for a reason. When I sit in the radiance of my teachers, I become a more light-full version of myself."
