Hey everyone!
I’m originally from Toronto, Canada and I moved to LA to pursue a professional dance career in 2011. I was lightly introduced to yoga through my dance training as a teenager, but it wasn't until I moved to LA that I developed a deep passion and purpose for it. I felt lost after moving all the way from Toronto to LA at a young age, and yoga was the one thing that made me feel at home. My intense curiosity and love for the practice eventually led me to training as a teacher at Corepower Yoga where I completed my first 200-hour certification in Vinyasa Power Yoga (November 2011).
I've been teaching since 2012 and my love for yoga only grows with time. I've continued my studies as a dedicated teacher and student, and I've completed an additional 200-hour teacher training in Corepower Yoga's Hot Power Fusion, as well as a 200-hour teacher training in Traditional Tantric Hatha Yoga at The Practice Bali. I am also the director and founder of a women’s empowerment company called YOU GOT THIS GIRL, where we use mindfulness to teach women how to cultivate confidence and positive mental attitudes (ygtgofficial.com). Through YGTG, I offer online programs, mentorships, community events, and retreats.
In addition, I’m an instructor and brand ambassador for the popular app Calm alongside Jay Shetty, Tamara Levitt, and Jeff Warren. On the app, I write, produce, and host a show called The Daily Move, which has garnered over 1 million views.
The number one thing I always strive to teach my students is that yoga allows us to discover so much about ourselves beyond what exists in the physical realm. Yoga is a deep journey inward, and it's a practice rooted in self-improvement and self-discovery. It's a tool used to harness the mind, allowing us to channel our energy in the direction towards our highest selves. There is a potent transformative power to yoga, which has been essential in shaping my own thoughts and beliefs.
I am forever grateful for how yoga has positively shifted my own life, and I'm committed to spreading its healing power to as many people as possible.
