a little about me…
Yoga actually came my way at a very young age, when my mother discovered the benefits of a regular meditation practice. But like for many young brats, meditation was boring to me and I couldn’t wait to get away from it. Through the years I did search for a more personal spiritual practice that would bring about a more peaceful & connected life. And in the early 90’s, I walked into my first Ashtanga yoga class where I felt this subtle but very spiritual connection.
But due to traveling so much I never really developed a regular practice, and after injuring myself quiet seriously my practice just stopped. It wasn’t until years later, when I found myself working a crazy job with long hours, stressed out & partying way to much, that I discovered my way back to yoga.
My first couple of years were spent as a yogi gym rat and occational visits to a studio, but as many journeys will have it, when the student is ready the teachers emerge. In 2003, I found myself at the pink palace called Laughing Lotus not realizing that through Dana & Jasmine’s devotional teachings, I myself would become a teacher.
After a few years of deepening my yoga practice, in 2004 I decided to leave my job at a small private investment firm to pursue teaching. I have never looked back. So the seed was planted a long time ago, it just took forever to grow into a blossoming flower. As my yogic journey continues to unravel, I am amazed how the pieces of my puzzle come together.
