Background
As a working international hatha-yoga teacher for the past ten-years, I’m proud to have owned The Mindful Body Hatha Yoga Studio for 7 years before moving-on accept the Yoga Director position @ LIVE360 and most recently forming my own yoga-school – Align & Shine Yoga – where I teach a 200-hour & a 500-hour Yoga Teacher Training throughout Ontario. Whether teaching my annual Jungle Love retreats in Costa Rica, instructing advanced-yoga workshops or continuing to study with my teachers Todd Norian of Ashaya Yoga, it is my joyful mission to build communities, to nurture self-love,and an awakening of our hearts.
Recently completing my studies at The Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York City, as a certified Health Coach I work with clients from all walks of life to help them align in all areas of their personal & professional life.
As founder & co-owner of the Kula Hoop Co., we make and sell custom handmade hula-hoops. Our passion lies in sharing all the joys of hooping with the community for improved health and wellness. Inspired & certified by Hoopnotica I soon partnered with another passionate hooper & yoga friend to make our own unique hoops, teach classes & workshops and start spreading the hoop love! It all begins in the ‘Hoop Lab’ where we design & custom build our signature series hoops that we sell online, at workshops, and festivals around Ontario.
