Her classes are warm, supportive and empowering. She also provides students with clear instructions on alignment.

According to her belief, a yoga teacher never ceases to be educated so she keeps on practicing, studying and broadening her knowledge and skill. She loves to share her knowledge and passion for yoga with her students. Her desire is to support her students to their journey towards their own true self by listening to their inner voice and heart, and overall trusting themselves.
