Mission
Yoga is a life-long commitment to me and others. Therefore, I'm always learning via classes, workshops, reading and research. I'm forever interested in learning more and discovering new ways to integrate yoga into my work and life. I base my work in proven studies and research. I find it fascinating as more work is being done to show how yoga can benefit people. Even though these practices are over 3,000 years old, it is important to prove their effectiveness.
