I began practicing yoga in my 20s during my career as a professional dancer. Performing eight shows a week, I was struggling with a back injury caused by scoliosis and turned to yoga as a way to heal.

Little did I know, yoga would not only strengthen my back but also transform my mind, helping me manage performance anxiety and build the resilience I needed to thrive as a performer.

​

Years later, when I was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer, I found myself facing not only the physical toll of illness but also the emotional burden of fear, pain, and overwhelming anxiety.

During this challenging time, my yoga and meditation practice became my lifeline. It helped me navigate the side effects of my illness, calm my mind, and find peace during one of the most difficult periods of my life.

Now, at 52, I feel stronger and more resilient than ever before. Yoga and meditation have infused my life with happiness, optimism, and a deep appreciation for the abundance that surrounds me.

I’m passionate about sharing these transformative benefits with others, helping my students tap into their own resilience and discover their inner peace.
