About
I am currently teaching Yoga for Stength and Stress reduction via ZOOM.
I have been practicing yoga for over 16 years. I am continuing to further my Yoga studies in Yoga Therapy at Layola Marymount University where I recieved my initial Teaching certification in Yoga & Healing Sciences. I also have training in Yoga for Children with Special Needs taught by top trainer Shawnee Thornton Hardy.
I love that I can help others feel good in mind, body and spirit. I love that I can help others ease their pains, become stronger in all areas and reconnect with themselves. I love teaching yoga because it is a meeting of like minded people thus creating the opportunity to learn from each other.

How did you get started teaching?
I started my own personal journey to ease stress, challenges and depression as I embarked in the journey of being a mom to a precious boy with special needs. I knew that there was a better way to live and a much better perception of my current situation. All I wanted to do is live a positive life and trasmit all that is good to my child and family. I needed to exchange my sadness for hope and endless posibilities and our struggles with triumph. I needed to come into balance, my inside did not match my outside and having practiced yoga for some years I decided that if I wanted to change my life and enjoy this journey and fully live it, I need to walk the walk and talk the talk. So I became a Yoga instructor wanting to help others in similar situations and show others hope, peace of mind, body and spirit.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with all ages, all social economic backgrounds, all bodies, all sizes and shapes. My message is that yoga is for all bodies and all abilities. My current youngest student is 12 Yrs old with Down syndrome and a body that is challenged with gross motor activities. My oldest students is a beautiful 80 Yrs old. Some of my students have limited range of motion, some have conditions that make certain poses difficult, or are challenged with balance or flexibility therefore I incorporate Chair Yoga in my practice. Most of my students have never done yoga before nor have the opportunity available to them.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Listen to your intuition, make sure it is a personality match and feel free to ask any questions.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What are my Goals? What is my intention for my practice? What kind of commitment am I ready to make and follow through? How soon can I see results?
