My life's calling is to shine the light of awareness on our natural inborn happiness by bringing together the teachings of positive psychology and yoga, both on and off the mat. Having taught classes & trainings for over 15 years, I thrive on contributing to the lives of others while deepening my own practice. This online platform is a way to study and practice from the comfort and convenience of home, while broadening our social circuits, uninhibited by geographical restraints. Through online course, livestream classes, community studies & trainings, we will help to raise the vibration of the planet one breath at a time :)
