What made you want to become a yoga instructor?
I remember vividly, being in a yoga class and the teacher, in the process of closing class said, "we're all interconnected." In that moment, my entire body lit-up inside, it was like I could feel every cell. I knew this was my truth. I felt compelled to share, and help facilitate the peaceful calm and oneness I felt through the practice with others.
What yoga pose(s) makes you happy?
Inversions & arm balances! I love being upside-down and arm balances make me feel strong yet playful.
