*Experience

My journey of Yoga began in 2009 as a Student in Toronto where I found Yoga to be a very grounding and calming practice in a place full of stimulation and distraction. My practice grew when I moved to Tofino the next Summer and it opened up a whole new level of personal transformation for me. This led me to a desire to learn more about the ancient practice and I took my 200hr Yoga Teacher Training in Spring 2013. Since then I’ve had the opportunity to teach amongst an inspiring community with Coastal Bliss Yoga.

*I enjoy Teaching Yoga Because

I love that the practice of Yoga is always evolving and that I will always be a Student, there is always more to learn and space to deepen. It is exciting to share a practice that I know can be so powerful and transformative. Teaching opens up a space for conversation and growth, I love when students ask questions as it is an opportunity for me to learn more.

*My Philosophy in Yoga

Be genuine and meet each challenge with an open mind. This practice(life) is ever evolving, take it one breath at a time.
