YOGA EDUCATION & QUALIFICATIONS

I found yoga in high school and started a consistent practice in 2016. I was naturally drawn to the moving meditation of the practice as well as the community it attracted. I finished my 200-hour yoga teacher training at Corepower Yoga in April 2018 and have fallen in love with inspiring my students through dharma and intentional movement. I am currently teaching at Essence of Life Chicago and one of the founding teachers of Y7 Chicago. Outside of the studio, I am a social media strategist, wellness and lifestyle blogger, and a lover of music and dancing! My goal is to help inspire others to heal and grow through yoga because it has been such a powerful tool for me.
