my teaching Philosophy

My journey with yoga began in 2000, and I was hooked from the very first class. It felt like coming home to myself — physically, emotionally, spiritually.

Over the years, yoga has become not just a practice but a way of life. It’s helped me heal, grow, and connect — not only with myself but with so many beautiful souls along the way.

What I love most about yoga is its capacity to deepen our awareness — to bring mindfulness, presence, and compassion into every part of our lives, from how we move through the world to how we care for ourselves and others.

In my teaching, I aim to create a space that is grounded, nourishing, and empowering. I specialize in alignment-based practices and yoga therapeutics — inviting students to listen deeply to their bodies and explore with curiosity and care. I also weave in meditation, energy work, breath, and touch — all in service of supporting your unique journey.

Whether I’m teaching in a studio, on retreat, or in a private session, my highest intention is to guide people toward wholeness — to help uncover joy, resilience, and a deeper sense of connection to self and the world.

Yoga is a lifelong unfolding. I’m grateful every day to walk this path, and honored to walk it alongside you.

 

why i lead retreats

Leading retreats has become one of the most fulfilling parts of my work. I’ve been hosting international retreats since 2013 in places like Italy, Portugal, Morocco, and beyond.

There’s something sacred about taking time away from everyday life to reconnect — with your breath, your body, nature, and community. Each retreat is a container for healing, joy, rest, and play.

I’ve watched strangers become lifelong friends, witnessed deep breakthroughs on and off the mat, and held space for transformation in its many forms. These experiences stay with us. They ripple outward. And they remind us of what’s possible when we show up for ourselves fully.
