TRAINING & QUALIFICATIONS

With more than 16 years of personal practice, over 1,000 hours of certified yoga teacher training, and a deep commitment to lifelong learning, my teaching has evolved into an approach that is deeply rooted in the traditional philosophy of Bhakti Yoga while listening to the needs of the modern practitioner.

My studies have focused on Bhakti Yoga, Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Yin Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Prenatal Yoga, and Yoga Nidra, alongside extensive training in Meditation, Pranayama, Conscious Connected Breathwork, Sound Healing, Reiki, Somatic movement, Somatic healing, Somatic yoga, Functional Anatomy, Nervous System Regulation, Trauma-Informed Teaching, and Pedagogy. Each discipline has enriched my understanding of the body, mind, and spirit, allowing me to draw from a broad and integrated foundation while remaining grounded in yoga’s timeless wisdom.

Beyond these studies, I have continued to deepen my understanding through years of dedicated practice and ongoing education in astrology. While I do not identify as an astrologer, I enjoy thoughtfully weaving its wisdom, seasonal rhythms, and lunar cycles into many of my ceremonies, moon gatherings, and community offerings where they naturally complement the work.

While every teacher, mentor, and training has contributed to my journey, my time studying Bhakti Yoga at Govardhan Eco Village in India marked one of the most transformative chapters of both my life and teaching.

Living for a month within the ashram and eco-village founded by Radhanath Swami offered me the rare opportunity to experience Bhakti not simply as a philosophy to study, but as a way of life. Surrounded by teachers who have dedicated decades; many more than forty years, to the sincere study, practice, and sharing of these teachings; I was able to learn from individuals who embody the tradition with remarkable integrity, humility, and devotion.

Being immersed in an environment where these teachings are lived each day profoundly deepened my understanding of yoga beyond movement alone. It strengthened my relationship with Bhakti, philosophy, mantra, meditation, and the subtle dimensions of the practice, while reaffirming the importance of honouring yoga’s rich lineage and preserving the integrity of its teachings.

This experience fundamentally shaped the way I teach today and continues to inspire my intention to preserve the richness of yoga’s traditional teachings while presenting them in a way that feels accessible, intelligent, and deeply relevant to modern practitioners.

I am deeply grateful to the many teachers and mentors who have guided my path. The opportunity to study with practitioners such as Raghunath Cappo, Kaustubha Das, Radhanath Swami, Michael James Wong, Sarah Ticha, Bobbie Marchand, Cindy Lunsford, Lori Pagliaroni and many others has been an invaluable part of my journey, continually reminding me that teaching begins with remaining a devoted student.

At the heart of my work is a commitment to remaining a lifelong student. I continue to deepen both my education and personal practice across Yoga, Meditation, Breathwork, Sound Healing, Reiki, Somatic disciplines, Yoga Philosophy, and the many complementary fields that continue to shape my teaching. Through ongoing study, sincere practice, and self-inquiry, I strive to share these teachings with authenticity, integrity, and deep respect for yoga’s rich lineage while thoughtfully supporting the evolving needs of the communities I serve.
