"May the light within me recognize and honour the light within you."
Namaste

My discovery of yoga first came to me when my physical body and inner being needed it most. I was 23 years old and I had just finished the greatest battle of my life – surviving Burkitt's lymphoma. Five months at the Tom Baker Cancer Centre & four rounds of intensive chemotherapy later, my body was at its weakest. After getting the clear from the doctors I headed west to Vancouver to further my studies in graphic design and it was then and there that yoga found me.

Initially I remember downward dog was incredibly difficult and shaky, but with each practice I left feeling lighter, cleaner, stronger, happier and more purified. As my practice evolved, so did my understanding of the nuances of my body & breath and discovering meditation. Everyday I feel fortunate to have my yoga practice in my life.

I completed my teacher training at the Yoga Passage in March 2008 with Tracy Mann, Tanis Fishman & Lerrita Rubinoff. An amazing experience where I truly dove deep into my practice and learned a wealth of knowledge concerning asanas, anatomy, meditation & the eight limbs of Ashtanga. I've also been fortunate enough to take workshops with David Williams, Manju Jois, Ron Reid & Marla Joy, and practice with Dharma Mittra at his studio in New York City.
