I have practiced and studied traditional Hatha and Ashtanga Yoga, as well as medicine ball since 1998 as a student of Eric Faqir, a classically trained yogi in traditional yoga systems and martial arts from San Francisco where I received my 500-hour+ Certification through Advanced Yoga Sciences.

My emphasis is on adhering to the ancient traditions, so I’ve opened my own yoga studio here in Phoenix Arizona where I can carry on the traditional practices that have been passed down to me.

“I’ve found that yoga has been a key element in developing balance, coordination and strength, both physically and emotionally.” Practicing yoga has not been physically easy for me. When I was child I had an injury that paralyzed the entire left side of my body. From this injury, a long and humbling journey began for me. I had to retrain my mind and body to do even the simplest things, such as walking.

As an adult I’ve found that yoga has been a key element in developing balance, coordination and strength, both physically and emotionally. Because of this experience I’ve been asked to work with people dealing with many different physical challenges, work I enjoy very much. My style of teaching yoga is very hands on. I believe in correcting posture, finding that even subtle corrections lead to greater gains.
