I first started practicing yoga in 2015 at the age of 16. Initially, I thought it would simply be a good stretch after my newfound gym workouts — a way to lengthen my muscles after intense training. But what began as a physical practice soon revealed itself as something much deeper and more transformative. Over time, yoga became the unexpected cure for my clinical depression and anxiety. I noticed my perception of myself and the world around me shift in a beautiful and profound way. It was as if I was seeing the world with new eyes — softer, more connected, and full of possibility.
As my practice grew, so did my desire to learn more. At the age of 24, I took a leap and traveled to India to study yoga with the intention of becoming a teacher. I was passionate, eager to dive deeper into this profound practice. But just days before completing my training, I suffered an injury — tendonitis in my knees — which has limited my range of motion ever since (November 2023). Rather than hindering my practice, however, this injury has deepened my understanding of yoga. It’s taught me patience, acceptance, and how to listen more closely to my body. Yoga became about much more than strength or flexibility — it was about finding balance, healing, and connection, even within limitation.
For a while, I got caught up in the physical side of yoga, feeling a sense of accomplishment from being able to do handstands, splits, and other advanced postures. I’ll admit, my ego swelled a bit. But deep down, I always knew that the true essence of yoga wasn’t about achieving physical feats — it was about cultivating inner peace, mindfulness, and connection to something greater.
Since my injury, I’ve taken a step back from the fully physical focus and turned my attention inward, diving deep into the energetic and esoteric aspects of traditional Hatha yoga. I’ve spent this time exploring the healing power of meditation, breathwork, and subtle body awareness. This holistic approach has become the foundation of my teaching — one that honours the mind, body, and spirit in equal measure.
I now share this journey with my students, guiding them to connect with themselves on a deeper level, beyond just the physical postures. Whether you’re just starting your practice or are an experienced yogi, I’m here to help you tap into the transformative power of yoga — not just for your body, but for your mind and soul.
