I became a Modo member in 2011 and felt an immediate connection to the community. Practicing Yoga regularly allowed me to create space for personal time and solace, enabling me to focus on my growth, health and all-around wellness.

In 2016 I started to practice with more serious intent, and in 2018, I was excited to complete my Level 1 Modo Teacher Training. In 2019, I followed up with a Level 1 Mat Pilates Training and just weeks after, a Modo Flow Training. November of 2022, I completed the Modo Yoga Calm Training, bringing more Yin to my very much Yang personality and teaching style.

My desire as a teacher is to help others fall in love with moving their bodies, and to find joy, through a commitment to their own practice. The magic that happens on the mat transcends physical movement however, and I have found that cultivating the connection with breath and meditation bring even more gifts to each person. I have so much respect for the way each student moves through their process and practice, it is deeply personal and individual.

My practice has allowed me to be more vulnerable and more open in my daily life. I feel this translates in my teaching style. It can be very humbling leading others through their own practice, but in a community like Modo Yoga Etobicoke it feels pretty awesome to experience this little slice of life together, and to reflect on the impact it has on our lives. I am so very grateful.
