Thank You All for All

Intrigued by emotions, psyche and physical movement, learning to overcome anorexia, anxiety, depression, burnout and low self-confidence, through true health.

I’m passionate about guiding YOU to embody wellbeing, empowering our many levels of living through the amazing tools of Yoga, Ayurveda and mindfulness grounded in scientific research- Yoga Therapy.

In the process of finding solutions, deep transformations, friendships and connections are cultivated, turning limiting patterns into growth, and breakdowns into breakthroughs, and a basis for a warm community.

In the past decade I’ve helped others move from breakdowns to breakthroughs. I want YOU to feel alive, capable and empowered to choose how you feel in daily life.

Enabling emotional and mental wellbeing through physical posture and physiological self-regulation, is what I love to teach.

Only we can walk the path and take those radical, scary steps, cultivating mind, body and soul to embody resilience and self-fullness. Let’s transform our world, starting with ourselves and Reclaim our Wellbeing.
