Author Bio

Originally from Montreal, Quebec, studied Theatre at Russell Sage College in Troy, NY, lived in Los Angeles and NYC pursuing the arts and discovered yoga as a way to calm the mind and feel good in the body. Currently based in Vero Beach, FL and a RYT 500 Yoga Instructor. I find inspiration off of the mat for unique and creative yoga teachings at each class. Every class is tailored to the setting, students and by an inspirational theme. I strive to empower and inspire my student to shine their light. I offer precise alignment cues as well as modifications to journey through class while mending an injury or expressing a more advanced practice. I love the use of descriptive words to guide practice and I also tune in to when to be silent, allowing space for each student to simply breathe.

I am mostly known for my smile;) I love to laugh! I am passionate, empathetic and love storytelling! I'm also adventurous and seek out travel and discovering new places. I get excited about active outings as well such as flying trapeze, rock climbing, high ropes courses and I did go sky diving onceonce was enough! I am drawn to challenges and enjoy arm balances and going upside down in my yoga practice as well as exploring creative movement.

I love serving the world by giving each person space to express themselves in a way where their light can radiate and shine for all to see. I believe I unlock physical and emotional blockages through my yoga teachings. I take great care in guiding each student on a path that is balanced between effort and easewhere they can embrace challenge while still feeling supported; ever evolving, ever growing!

The things I am most passionate about in life are wellness, mindfulness, traveling, teaching, family, friends and being the change I wish to see in the world! I'm passionate about continually challenging my beliefs, continuing to practice self-study, read and accrue new knowledge. I am passionate about recycling and limiting single use containers/bottles, not using straws and taking care of this environment.

When I'm not busy teaching you can find me practicing yoga with my dog, Bowery or reading.
