CYT-200

As a youngster I always felt an incredible urge to dive inward and explore my deep inner workings. Being a natural born athlete I have always tested my body and focused on exceeding my limits, in a healthy manner, in order to refine my temple (body). As a dancer I find joy in expressing the sentiments my words can not convey. As a writer I color between the lines with my lyrics. As an activist I strive to be the change I’d like to see. I have been practicing yoga at home since 2007 and at Hot Asana since 2012. In January of 2015 I was moved to develop my practice with the intention of cultivating a lifestyle that reflects my heart and signed up to attend the Maya Tulum Retreat as a way to motivate myself to honor my commitment. Little did I realize a 200 Hour Teacher Training was in store for me as well. I believe we are capable of merging our dreams with our reality and as a Yoga Teacher I aspire to inspire everyone to consider the possibilities and allow themselves to believe their goals are attainable.
