She teaches yoga full-time at Nectar Yoga B&B on Bowen Island, at Bowen Island Yoga, at various studios in Vancouver, and at exotic yoga retreats around the globe. She is grateful to share her 8 years of teaching experience with the Bowen Island community
I was drawn to yoga over 15 years ago for its many benefits. I received a BA from UBC in anthropology with a focus on East Indian religion and philosophy and in 2009 was certified 200 YTT. I continue to learn from yoga and have studied with many master teachers from around the world. I believe in the power of yoga to create positive change in body and mind through encouraging strength, focus, balance, flexibility and openness.Yoga makes me feel good and it is a pleasure to share it with students who begin to stand stronger and feel better.
