Her practice and passion of Yoga began at the age of 15, learning all styles of Hatha Yoga,with main focus Iyengar Yoga , and traveled all over the world to be taught by different mentors. She also has years of experience in Pilates. Having a degenerative arthritic cervical spine left her with debilitating problems causing her years of pain. A friend recommended to her to try Bikram Yoga before resorting to invasive surgery in 2007 .

All together as an artist and designer, her keen sense of aesthetics and knowledge of the human body and her ability to relate to all people with all body issues will be one of the key components that will make you want to come back to Thavma Bikram Yoga Studio again and again.
