Her teaching is informed by the Ashtanga and Iyengar traditions, both rooted in the Krishnamacharya lineage. Her continuing education includes a 40-hour Ashtanga intensive with David Robson and Jelena Vesić of Ashtanga Yoga Toronto, advanced teaching and alignment studies with Alejandra Torres in Costa Rica, and intensive Ashtanga study in Mexico. Meditation is also an integral part of her practice, informed by Vipassana training.

She also spent two years as part of the content and marketing team at Yoga International, creating educational content for a global yoga community. She brings a detail-oriented approach to education, helping students and teachers understand not only how to practise and teach asana, but the mechanics, intention, and thoughtful sequencing behind it.
