While tutoring athletes at Rutgers, I used breathing techniques and meditation practices to help my students focus. Watching their growth inspired me to complete my 200-hour yoga teacher training. I furthered my training with the Baptiste Institute and became a certified Baptiste instructor in 2020. I was drawn to this practice by its three guiding principles focused on asana, meditation and self-inquiry. Yoga is a moving meditation, and I encourage my students to challenge themselves and discover the tools they already have to explore their own potential on and off their mat. I approach teaching as another step in my own studentship and use teaching as an opportunity to share my experiences of growth and discovery. My aim is for my students to step off the mat feeling uplifted and with clear vision, inspired to live better moment to moment.
