My fascination with Eastern physical and spiritual practices started early. I went to my first Judo dojo when I was six years old, which then led to 14 additional years of studying various forms of martial arts. At 15, I started meditating, a practice I have continued since. However, it wasn’t until I started practicing yoga ten years ago that I got the tools and the power to change my life.

Yoga means to yoke, to unite. What makes yoga so powerful is because it unites mind, body and spirit. Yoga is a moving meditation that helps us grow as human beings. Through a steady yoga practice, we learn to listen to our bodies, which teaches us more of who we really are.

I was a yoga teacher for five years, starting out as a certified Ashtanga yoga instructor. Over time, I started exploring gentler and deeper forms of yoga, and my practice turned more spiritual. I’ve explored and learned from most schools of yoga. Today, I follow a tantric path, infused with shamanism. Pranayama, i.e. breath work, as well as chanting and meditation are also integral parts of my daily practice.

Though I’m no longer teaching regular classes, yoga continues to infuse all of my work. If you sign on as an individual coaching client, I can also include an individualized stress-management program as an extra tool.
