•Mind Unraveling Heart Expansion. My introduction to Yoga came from my Father as a child through the ritual practices of Bhakti Yoga, Vedic chanting and Puja. I grew up sitting with him daily for morning sadhana. It wasn't until my teens when the spark for acquiring a deeper understanding into life's metaphysical and spiritual realms led me to Fine Arts in search of creative expression. I pursued the arts and received a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. I carried out a career as a visual artist which led me back to Paris, France for another three years. Feeling creatively drained and spiritually hungry the practices of Yoga began to manifest in my life once again, in pursuit of something more. I then moved to India for an entire year of training and spiritual practice.

•My passion for learning has taken me to India many times to study with Master Teachers. I have completed my teacher trainings in the Himalayas with Swami Govindananda at the Sivananda Yoga & Vedanta Ashram, Advanced Vinyasa Flow Studies with Shiva Rea at Sacred Movement, and several months of study with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, India as well as Lino Miele in Kovalum, India.
I currently reside in Santa Monica, CA finishing a graduate degree in Ayurvedic Holistic Medicine. I teach Vinyasa Flow Yoga at Exhale Center for Sacred Movement in Venice, CA and serve as an adjunct Professor at UCLA in the Dept. of World Arts & Cultures lecturing on East Indian spirituality, philosophy, culture, and the practices of Yoga & meditation.

•My Vinyasa Flow Yoga classes focus on the cultivation of Prana Shakti through breath work and Vinyasa Krama, or sequencing of asanas. They are a dynamic synthesis of solar & lunar energetics providing for a challenging and empowering practice. My intention to seamlessly integrate the sister sciences of Ayurveda and Vinyasa Yoga provides for a unique class with a holistic approach to the mind, body, and spirit.
