About the Expert

What does yoga mean to me?

Yoga is a path that strengthens my body and mind, reminds me of the balance of opposites, and opens the door to growth through unity.

These three words best describe my yoga sessions:

Holistic, emotional, safe.

Why do I love yoga?

I love yoga because it confronts me with reality. While accepting that life isn't easy, each practice strengthens me both mentally and physically, stretching me, and sometimes simply reminds me of my existence.

Why do I love teaching yoga sessions so much?

I love teaching yoga sessions because in every meeting, we share not only the movements but also our very existence. Gathering together in a safe space and witnessing each other's journeys gives me a sense of belonging and a deep connection.
