My life is a journey and my craft is yoga. I started practicing and teaching yoga in 2009.
I am passionate about Africa and I love nature. I teach power yoga, restorative, and corporate yoga. Yoga practice has taught me to always show up above and beyond expectations on and off the mat.
When I'm not teaching yoga, you can find me in my community engaging in seva (selfless service).
Power Yoga Description:
Power yoga is a fast-paced and intense activity. The emphasis is on the flow from one pose to the next, rather than approaching each pose separately.

I love yoga because it allows me to rediscover sense of wholeness where I don’t feel like I am constantly trying to fix the troubled parts of my life.
Being a yogi, freedom for me means not being battered by the difficulties of life, because life has its ups and downs. Yoga allows me to find a state of peace that was previously unknown.
As a mom I learned patience and making real connections with people around me.
