Mindful Mountain Yogini

I started practicing Yoga in 2007 and was inspired in my very first class. I will never forget it. I felt very reluctant because of my little knowledge about Yoga and my inflexibility. My very first teacher put me at ease (Thank you Lise Bourgeois!!), and I fell in love that very day! Although I had continued to practice over the years, it was never consistent enough for me, life just took over. After a serious health issue in 2014 which almost killed me, I realized I needed to do more in my life and yoga fell back in my lap. I jumped at the chance to train with such a prestigious school, South Okanagan Yoga Academy, and now here I am, teaching! I am very excited to have the chance to share my love of Yoga with you!!
When I teach, I want to:
• Help everyone find love and respect in themselves by coming to their mat with me
• Honor the ancient traditions while embracing our contemporary evolution
• Challenge myself and others to recognize growth in each and every moment
• Open areas that store blocked emotions and release any related mental and/or physical limitations
• Encourage people to be authentic and true to themselves
• Help students own their practice
• Use the power of the practice to heal, transform and awaken to a life of freedom
• Use yoga to cultivate a healthy relationship with your body, which translates into a freedom of spirit
