Interest and circumstance drew me to a hot power yoga class in August 2012. I was instantly hooked and committed myself to daily practice.
To build my knowledge of Yoga and its philosophy, I enrolled in 200hour Teacher Training Program with Power Yoga Canada. Earning my certification in August of 2013, I continued to practise at Elevate Yoga in Ottawa, where I eventually began teaching and assisting in the studio’s everyday operations. I spent the next 6 years honing my skills as not only a teacher, but also a student. I began taking weekly Iyengar classes in 2015 to gain a better understanding of postural alignment and the use of props to facilitate deeper expression of postures.
In 2021, I began a new career path and stepped away from teaching in the spring of 2022, but continued to maintain a daily practice, which complements a resistance training program. My practice has been solely in my home since 2020, but recently, I was pulled back to studio and found myself at Prana Shanti as a student, which has ultimately rekindled my passion for teaching. I am grateful to be back in studio and to have the opportunity to share my love for the practice and discipline of yoga with fellow practitioners.
