Certified yoga and meditation teacher
I started my yoga journey 25 years ago and after practicing Ashtanga Yoga for 3 years with Patricia Krac, E-RYT 500 and a Yogashakti Teachers Training Institute (YTTI) graduate, I was motivated to become a yoga teacher. This is where I met my Beloved Teacher Mokshapriya Shakti. I took my first teacher training with YTTI and graduated the 200-hour program in 2004. In 2009 I completed the 500-hour certification with YTTI.
Continuing my journey in 2015, I completed a Level One Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training, certified by the Kundalini Research Institute. I am also a certified Reiki Practitioner Level II.
