Reconnect with your natural wholeness

My experience as a student of yoga over the past decade has deeply shaped my approach to teaching. After undergoing knee surgery, an injury that stemmed from pushing too hard in my practice, I began to shift toward a much softer, more intentional approach. This shift wasn’t just physical; it fundamentally changed how I relate to my body and how I hold space for others. In many ways, the practice of relearning my body and developing that somatic awareness became my most impactful teacher. 

​

During my first year teaching, I was working in the corporate world, living what felt like two separate lives. During that time, while I pushed and overworked my body in my asana practice, I also deeply pushed and repressed the impacts of the corporate world on my mental health. By day I was spending ~60 hours a week nose deep in an Excel sheet, ignoring all of my body and mind's cues, and by night I was teaching students about balance and about yoga as a tool for living and speaking your truth. Overall, I was talking the talk, but not walking the walk, living two vastly different lives.

Thankfully one day, while assisting in a YTT, it just clicked. I couldn't continue living a life where my head felt genuinely cut off from my body. I knew that I had to tune into my intuition and pursue the integration of my passion, my purpose, and my truth.

In 2023, I decided to pursue a path towards mental health counseling, and I've been so blessed to see the many parallels between therapy and yoga teaching. I realized the sheer necessity in cultivating spaces where people can truly feel safe, supported, and seen. 

​

From my own lived experience, I've felt a deep call to support students' safety and growth, not only from a physical lens, by a prioritization of somatic awareness and anatomy, but also through an emotional and spiritual lens. ​As a mental health counseling intern, yoga teacher, and intuitive sound healer, I feel honored to be able to offer that space to you. A space where a felt sense of safety can be cultivated, where community thrives, and where you can grow your inner light - with amusement, with authenticity, and with wholehearted intention.
