“I have a deep and profound love of Ayurveda, Ashtanga and Vinyasa Yoga. The transformative power of yoga and Ayurveda has changed my life in ways I never expected, and for that I am grateful. My practice infuses me with such peace, love and clarity, that I am compelled to share my passion with others.

“I am most excited about the collaborative effort that yoga can bring to the members of a community, and I am honored to be a part of the yoga energy in L/A.”
