About:

 I started practicing yoga in 2012, and took my first 200 hour yoga teacher training in 2015. Since then I have acquired over 500 hours of yoga training and certifications including Trauma-Informed Yoga, Yoga of 12 Step Recovery, Empowered Wisdom Yoga Nidra, Restorative Yoga, Sound Healing, and Anusara Yoga. I attended Arizona State University and received my degree in Health Sciences, Healthy Lifestyles Coaching. I am currently enrolled in Yoga Therapy at The Soul of Yoga.

While in my undergrad, I was homesick and my mom urged me to find a yoga studio. I went to the closest one to my apartment  in Downtown Phoenix and saw the signs for their upcoming 200 hour training. I signed up the next day without knowing how much that decision was going to shift my life. I did not want to teach, I wanted to find home wherever I was. I was terrified of my potential to guide others through their practice.  I did not step into the teacher role until a year later when I moved to LA, and found a mentor and my voice. I explored different modalities and fell in love with slower, restful practices such as, restorative yoga, sound healing, and yoga nidra. 

These practices gifted me so much more healing than mindless movements on my mat. I dove into states of consciousness with full awareness and curiosity. I began to reawaken to my power and slowly started to believe in myself but my life really shifted when I built the courage to listen to my higher self and eliminate alcohol from my life. I remember writing about sobriety in my journal after a yoga nidra practice, it was stuck in my head ever since.

Through sobriety I have stepped into my authentic self, having to feel and accept every emotion, every situation, every thought. I remember ‘home’, the inner light within myself, within you, connection, community, love, meditation, deep rest, and of course all practices of yoga. I continue to remain a student first, a teacher and guide second. Through my teachings and guidance, I hope to help you find your home inner light too.
