From Taiwan to Thailand to Mauritius, for the past fifteen years, I have ecstatically appreciated my life abroad. Connecting with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures has inspired and fascinated me. I first discovered my love for yoga while living in Bangkok. I immersed myself in every style I could: Bikram, Iyengar, Ashtanga, Vinyasa. Rather than adapting to just one style, I valued variety within multiples styles in my own practice. It is through this lens that I found Yoga Elements Studio in Bangkok, a place where I took my journey a step further by starting my teacher training. Through the support of the amazing friends and community I was lucky enough to have, I had the confidence and passion to finish my 200-hour Teacher Training Course and became a Registered Yoga Teacher in 2009.

After spending a year in Mauritius, an island off the coast of Madagascar, teaching yoga to a wonderful group at Northfields International High School, my family and I have finally settled back into my hometown of Oceanside, California. We are thoroughly enamored with the beautiful weather and coastal lifestyle North County has to offer. I am inspired by the dedicated yogis I have met here and look forward to contributing to this blossoming community.

The main reason I love yoga is for its focus on self-awareness. These techniques and tools have improved every aspect of my life; Everything essential comes from observation of one’s self. Yoga clears your mind and takes away the cloud of mental chatter that causes us stress. I love all styles of yoga; My personal practice and teaching style is heavily influenced by Ashtanga and Vinyasa. Through focus, one can experience the meditative power of yoga.
