I started yoga practice to help my physical body. I only saw the physical part of the practice and was intrigued by the passion and commitment others showed when practicing. I was in my early twenties battling my first depressive episode. Yoga gave me a path out of my darkness and reconnected me with my body. My practice taught me about self-love and compassion and it showed me the power of community.
When I became a psychologist and psychotherapist, I started studying yoga as a tool for a more holistic approach to wellbeing. I decided to take my relationship with yoga to the next level and become a teacher. I now connect my knowledge of mental health with yoga to share with others the numerous benefits of this discipline, both on and off the mat.
