I'm a former marketing communication manager converted into full-time yoga teacher. I consider myself as forever a student of yoga, sometimes a teacher.
I used to teach group classes at several studios in Jakarta. I also teach individual & group privates, workshops & trainings, and facilitate retreats. Since March 2020, due to the social distancing policy during the pandemic, my teaching shifted online. Now I teach group classes online and teach private group and individuals both online and in person.
I believe that yoga is for everyone and one does not necessarily must have physical prowess or flexibility to start practicing yoga. I believe regular yoga practice will benefit everyone. It is a doorway to health, wellbeing, and so much more. My session varies from gentle to more physically active, catering to clients’ need, emphasizing on discovering harmony of the body, mind, and soul, through movement, breath, and stillness.
With my partners Fei Fei (E-RYT500, YACEP) & Olivia Sutantyo (E-RYT200 RYT500, YACEP), I found Harmony Yoga School, a medium to share the wisdom of yoga in a comprehensive way. We believe that yoga is transformation that is not only happens on the mat, but also outside the mat, in our daily life. We offer Harmony Yoga School Trainings based on this understanding. Our mission is providing in-depth, comprehensive, beneficial yoga education to those who want to improve their life and transform themselves.
