I have been practicing yoga for 23 years with great joy. For the first 3 years my practice was recreational; for the exercise and fun. My passion for yoga grew deeper and stronger after I witnessed the horror of the Asian tsunami on Dec 26, 2004 on Phi Phi Island, Thailand. Yoga helped me through the PTSD that followed. I witnessed the powerful and positive healing effects that yoga can bring. I was inspired. I knew I just had to share yoga and help others to live as fully, joyfully, and healthfully as they could. I had to teach!
I took a Hatha Teacher Training Course in 2005 and started teaching multi-level classes in homes and around the city for about 6 years. Craving challenge my yoga path led me to Hot Yoga which was an instant addiction. Then I found MODO and after my very first class I was in love! I thought, “This is it!!” I began my MODO teaching journey in Toronto in the summer of 2008 completing my level 1 MODO teacher training. The MODO series is strong and beautiful, complex, and whole. I am very proud and grateful to have had the opportunity to bring MODO to Sherwood Park in 2010, It’s the community I grew up in and reside in. Through MODO, I want to help students feel strong, vital, centered, and happy. Most importantly, I hope for them to carry from our studio that peace and joy they find from practice into their everyday lives and let it ripple out!
