"I aspire to introduce to my students the ways in which yoga brings awareness to how we function in life and how we can develop the dormant, hidden potentials within ourselves. To this end, yoga is not just a collection of practices done once a week, but a lifestyle where we have the opportunity to express our creativity, and improve ourselves and the environment through determination and wisdom".
