Recently voted one of the Top Ten Yoga Teachers in South Florida. I understand the ancient teachings and business of Yoga. I am an expereinced 500-hr yoga teacher. My school has been accredited though Yoga Alliance for over 7 years and has a proven track record of certifying amazing, thoughful, loving and credible yoga teachers. My philosophy is "learning yoga is a science. Teaching yoga is an art form." There is a lot of time to practice teaching throughout this whole program. Doing is the strongest way of learning and becoming comfortable teaching yoga. For those that are joining me on the Hatha and Flow program, you will be certified in TWO styles of yoga (if you choose) - hatha and power flow. You walk away with a deeper understanding of yoga, yourself, the world and your practice.
