I have always been a creative soul. Since early childhood, I've been drawn to the arts and imagination. After acquiring a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Northwestern State University of Louisiana, I took my painting skills, charcoals/oils home, and continued to wait tables for 15 years. Granted, painting still, an art show here or there along the way, I traveled the world waiting tables - from Alaska to my birthplace, Venezuela. It was while living in Quito, Ecuador that a flatmate introduced me to Sun Salutations. As a teen I'd been exposed to my mother's VHS Yoga, I knew it felt good to stretch; but this was different. It's felt personal and special - I was hooked.

 

In April 2011, I travelled to Uttarkashi, India for my teacher training, at the Sivananda Kutir. Nestled in the Himalayas and along the Ganga River, I discovered that there was more to yoga than the perfect chaturanga and Sun Salutations - To find your connection with all that exists around you. To see the beauty in the balance, find peace in the oneness. My love for teaching what yoga can do for the mind and body, how it can uplift the spirit, cannot be contained. I must share this knowledge, this beautiful practice. Vinyasa flow allows me to be creative with sequencing and transitions, while focusing on biomechanics, breath, and organic alignment. All levels are a joy to teach. Watching someone grow and find their way, is the reason I love what I do. 

 

Somewhere along the way, I realized that I wanted to do more, in helping others de-stress and heal. I enrolled in Lake Superior College's Massage Therapy program, January 2015 and have now graduated. I did not only learn a valuable skill in healing others, but have also increased my knowledge of anatomy and physiology, tremendously improving my yoga practice and instruction.

I love continuing to learn.

Continuing to grow.

Continuing to share.
