About Me
I am now 70 years old, am a grandmother, and I feel great because of my yoga practice. Since I went through many changes in my body, I can help people who go through stressful times, women through menopause and pregnancy, regular practitioners as well. I took a 2-year teaching break recently, following an intensive sadhana which was an incredibly fascinating experience. I spent the last 2 years practicing asanas with different teachers, and devoted time to studying ancient texts (HaTha Yoga Pradipika, Upanishads); the sanskrit verses are analyzed weekly online and the duration is around 52-55 weeks for each scripture. This summer (2026), some friends and collaborators asked if I'd start teaching again, which I accepted.
About My Service
I prefer teaching adapted Sivananda and I have a restorative approach to asanas. I also teach regular Sivananda and HaTha but with a gentle twist. I teach in person and online.
