My Story
Lust for life. Compassion for all
A Little About Me:
In 2004 I discovered yoga in South Korea. I practiced a Hatha Yoga daily for many years. When I moved back to Edmonton, I began teaching in hatha and vinyassa 2008. I continue to teach, practice and study with vigour everyday.
In the mean time, in 2012, I had my first experience with Ashtanga/ Mysore and have never looked back. The practice changed my life, my attitude, my habits. I have put myself wholeheartedly into the practice because I have really reaped the benefits.
I’m dedicated to guiding you safely, helping you love yourself, and embracing a stress-free mindset through the practice
