My journey with yoga began in 1999 in the jungle of Nosara Costa Rica. My first teacher, Amba Stapleton inspired me to not only explore yoga for myself but influenced me to teach yoga upon completing my 200 hour Yoga Alliance Certification through the Nosara Yoga Institute. I have since taught adult, children and teen yoga as a 500 hr E-RYT registered yoga teacher, a RCYT with the Yoga Alliance, Level 1 and Level 2 KRI Certified Teacher, as well as a member of the Aquarian Teacher Academy assisting Yoga West Los Angeles Level 1 and 2 Trainings yearly. I created, founded and direct my own teacher training school called Kids to Teens Yoga RYS 100 hour Yoga Alliance Certified training to become an RCYT.
I was drawn to the practice of Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan and completed level one, all of the five level 2 courses and 21 Stages of Meditation. Kundalini Yoga is my personal daily practice. I currently teach Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan weekly as well as children's yoga. I also sub regularly at Yoga Works and Bay Club kundalini, pre-natal, restorative and hatha yoga. I absolutely love inspiring others and guiding them in their practice. As a wife, mother of 5, and an elementary school teacher in Manhattan Beach Unified School District, I have been able to rely upon my practice to find peace and harmony in my day to day life. I am also the proud grandmother of 3 grand babies. My life is so full and my thirst for knowledge keeps me on this path of discovery and growth still today 21 years later.
