About Me 

,,Yoga is a journey of the self, through the self, to the self."
Bhagavad Gita verse 6.20

Founder of Crow Cat Yoga

I first explored Yoga about 15 years ago, and right away, I noticed its profound impact on both my body and my nervous system.

 

It wasn’t just that my body became stronger and more flexible-it was something deeper.

What really stood out to me was the incredible sense of security I felt when I connected with my body, mind, and spirit. For the first time, I experienced what it truly feels like to be at home in my body, to feel safe within myself.

 

Through yoga, I also learned how to take responsibility for that sense of well-being.

Yoga has been the greatest gift to me.

My Yoga Journey

In the early years of my Yoga Journey,

I practiced Sivananda and fell in love with the series of breathing exercises, postures, and meditation.

I also appreciated the balance it offered between strength, softness, and relaxation.

 

However, what I found missing was the freedom to follow my own breathing rhythm and to honor my body’s unique needs for movement during a class.


That’s when I discovered Ashtanga and Yin Yoga, and I quickly became drawn to both.
These are the methods I now practice and teach with deep love, curiosity, and devotion

in my online classes, workshops and yoga retreats.
