BIO

The practice of movement has been at the core of my life since an early age. Through countless years of professional dance training, I have studied pilates, gyrokinesis and other somatic movement and functional training approaches. And then came yoga… and although it took me a few years to truly grasp the depth of this practice, I somehow kept finding myself coming back to it, again and again. What I found in yoga is the compassion I had been longing for, for myself, my body and for this wild journey of life. 

 

Since 2010, teaching has been a great and humbling path of service and connectivity. My classes are rooted in mindfulness and sustainability, designed with intention to offer an embodied experience of self-care and inquiry. In my practice, I embrace the healing depth of gentleness and I keep falling deeply in love with the subtle.

 

Over the years, I have developed a passion and expertise for teaching prenatal and postnatal yoga classes. For five years, I supported women and their families through their journey into birth as a birth doula in Calgary. From 2019 to 2022, I also worked as a Spinning Babies® Certified Parent Educator, one of the very few in Canada, teaching parents body-balancing for optimal fetal positioning. 

 

When I am not teaching or practicing yoga, you can find me spending time with family, cooking up something nourishing and enjoying the outdoors. 

 

I deeply bow to the people who have influenced me with heart, wisdom and vulnerability.
