Founder & Lead Educator

World Renowned Yoga Therapist, Author & Inspirational Speaker

The Essence of Yoga is living a balanced life. I’ve always said if you want to learn something, learn how to teach it. Over the last 30 years, my Yoga Teacher Training has been empowering people to help others.

My Dharma (purpose in life) is to serve, love, help, and guide others. I would be honored to be your teacher, guiding you throughout this wonderful process. As a Yoga Teacher, you will have the opportunity to build your students’ sense of well-being, helping them to find balance in their lives.

Becoming a Yoga Teacher is about more than confidently teaching poses. You will learn how to integrate the whole Philosophy of Yoga into your daily life and practice, including mindfulness based stress reduction, meditation, and relaxation techniques. With your teaching skills, you will guide others to live Yoga both on and off the mat, and experience a healthy and balanced life.

I have designed a comprehensive curriculum which is fun, informative, and designed to meet the needs of everyone. Whether it is Chair Yoga for Corporations and Seniors, Restorative Yoga, or Vinyasa Yoga, you will have a clear understanding of the various styles of Yoga. With variations and benefits for each pose, experience the comfort of teaching Yoga for Everyone, regardless of age, shape, size, or physical ability.

Let me be your guide as you give yourself the gift of Yoga, Knowledge, Enlightenment, Union – This is more than a course, it is a wonderful experience. Welcome!
