My Journey into Yoga

began as a path to healing.

As an RYT® 500 Yoga Teacher, Ayurveda enthusiast, and former nurse and doula, I’ve dedicated my life to helping others find their own path to wellness and their journey of self-discovery and personal growth. Through compassionate and effective yoga instruction, I aim to support your body, mind, and spirit on your unique
yoga journey.

Integral Yoga

Integral Yoga provided the perfect foundation for my yoga teacher journey. Its holistic approach, encompassing physical postures, breathwork, meditation, and spiritual philosophy, resonated deeply with me. The emphasis on self-inquiry and personal transformation aligned perfectly with my own aspirations. By delving into the intricacies of yoga philosophy and the practical application of yogic techniques, I gained a comprehensive understanding of the practice. This knowledge empowers me to guide others on their own paths of self-discovery and personal growth. www.integralyogasf.org

Besides the asanas, Yoga has so much more to offer. After many years of Vinyasa yoga, I discovered the science of yoga, The Sutras of Patanjali, and its amazing tools for life. Delving deeper, I also embraced the wisdom of Ayurveda, the sister science of yoga, which complements yoga beautifully. This holistic approach allows me to offer a more comprehensive yoga experience, addressing not only physical well-being but also mental, emotional, and spiritual health.
