About Me

I am a RYT-500 certified Hatha yoga teacher, as well as a Trauma Informed/Pain Care Aware yoga teacher. I am trained in the lineage of Alina Calinescu, Judith Hanson Lasater and B.K.S. Iyengar and have completed a Certificate in Mindfulness in Modern Society. I bring together an extensive educational background into yoga teaching, holding an Honours BA, MA, and Ph.D. in Religious Studies, as well as a Graduate Diploma in Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy. I currently teach at King’s University at Western in the Department of Thanatology. As a thanatologist (CT, FT), I educate on various issues related to death, dying and bereavement. Both my profession and lived experiences have taught me to live a much more intentional, mindful and purposeful life. My goal is to help others build a strong and functional body that carries them through a mindful and joyful life. I find immense joy, gratitude and inspiration in seeing others discover their own personal yoga journey.
