With over 16 years of experience in yoga, I have spent the last 15+ years deeply immersed in teaching and practicing Yoga Asana, Pranayama, Meditation, Mantras & Mudras, and Yoga Nidra. My approach is rooted in spiritual yoga, emphasizing relaxation, inner awareness, and self-discovery.
Yoga, for me, is more than just physical practice—it is a path to harmony between the body, mind, and soul. My teaching style is deeply meditative, creating a serene space where students can explore their inner self, connect with their breath, and experience the profound stillness that yoga offers.
Through my classes, I guide students on a transformative journey, helping them cultivate balance, peace, and a deeper connection to their spiritual essence. Whether through breathwork, mantras, or meditation, I strive to make yoga an experience that nourishes the soul and relaxes the mind.
