Transform Your Life with Yoga: From Physical Relief to Spiritual Awakening

About me

"
As a dedicated yogi and passionate holistic practitioner, I've experienced firsthand the transformative power of yoga on the body, mind, and spirit. My journey began at age 14 when my father introduced me to yoga to alleviate chronic hip pain during black belt training in kenpo karate. Astounded by the immediate relief that a simple modification to Downward Facing Dog provided, I recognized the therapeutic potential of yoga on a physical level.

Throughout my life, from college and graduate school to becoming a wife and mother, my personal yoga practice has been a constant source of support, helping me navigate change and manage stress. After completing my Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences at The University of Chicago and welcoming our first son, I reassessed my priorities and, with the encouragement of my mother, began exploring the idea of teaching yoga.

Together, my mother and I completed several YogaFit teacher trainings before sharing the gift of yoga with others in 2009. Witnessing the extraordinary transformations in my students – moving through fear into faith, anxiety into equanimity, and anger into compassion – I fell in love with facilitating this powerful practice. In 2013, I completed my 200-hour teacher training with The Lotus Yoga Centre, further honing my skills as a Vinyasa-inspired instructor.
