I found yoga because, as a dancer, I felt I wasn't flexible enough. Little did I know, yoga would not only increase my physical flexibility but also open up my mind. At a time when dance felt too competitive and free, the boundary of my yoga mat became a safe space to reconnect with my body. No competition, no performance—just me on my mat. For the first time, I was able to express my own emotions through movement, rather than channeling the emotions of a choreographer or character. I felt present, alive, and grounded.

My desire to connect, my knowledge of anatomy, and my experience in creative movement have all fueled my passion for teaching. I want to help others find their own sense of presence and aliveness. To me, yoga is simply movement in connection with oneself, and I believe everyone should have the opportunity to experience that.
