I came to yoga searching for something to teach me how to be more resilient and happy after feeling burned out in my nursing job. What I found was something much deeper and lasting. I specialize in restorative yoga because I believe in its power to heal. 
 
My teaching style is:
OM Yoga, which provides a focus on alignment and a connection of the mind and body.

My favorite yoga pose is: 
Viparita Karani (Legs Up the Wall).
 
Yoga has helped me overcome: Feeling burned out as a nurse.

I love my mind because: 
It’s an interesting place to be!


You must try this healthy snack: Ka’chava - Chai is my favorite flavor!


My favorite Sanskrit word is Gom 
because:
It means “getting familiar” which is a continuous process and embodies my philosophy of yoga and meditation. We are constantly getting familiar with ourselves and our surroundings if we pay attention.

My advice for beginning yogis is: Have fun! Try new things. Have an open mind.


I’m most grateful for:
My support system of family and friends. 


The most exotic place I’ve 
practiced yoga is:
On the rooftop patio/pool of the Marina Bay Sands Hotel in Singapore.


If I could practice yoga with 
anyone it would be Cyndi Lee because:
She is my teacher and friend. I haven’t been able to practice in-person with her for several years.


I’m curious to take my yoga to 
the next level because:
I don’t know what the next level holds for me. My yoga practice has changed over time and I’m enjoying each phase.


My heroes are:
My parents. They’ve been such an inspiration in many aspects of life and I try to emulate them.

My one wish for the world is: Freedom from suffering.
