Service Description

I’ve been practicing yoga for 8 years now. I started out when I was a primary school Special needs teacher in Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A with a pregnancy yoga class when I was expecting my son. I found the peace, relaxation, and focus on my breath so rewarding for me and for my baby. My yoga practice was something I looked forward to every week, and I felt so good when I practiced. I thought, "this is awesome, I have found the perfect form of exercise that my mind and body was craving and I want to share it with others, adults and children." I contemplated for years about taking the plunge and completing my 200-hour Yoga Teacher training. This year I did just that in London, almost 2 years after my big move life-changing move abroad to London from Chicago. I’m so thankful to have completed my 200 hour Teacher training in Ashtanga Vinyasa/Rocket in Summer 2017 with amazing teachers Jamie Clarke and Dulce Aguilar of The Yoga People. For me it was much more than just a Yoga Teacher Training program, but a life changing experience. It takes my love for yoga to a whole new level by teaching adults a skill I personally enjoy myself. In addition, I’ve further enhanced my background in teaching primary school and working with Special needs children and my yoga teaching skills this year by completing 54 hours of training in Kids and Families yoga teacher training with Rainbow Kids Yoga in February and September 2017. I can’t wait to share my joy of yoga with all :)
