Yoga Studio Founder & Teacher

I am a yoga teacher & practitioner.

My journey began 5 years ago and I've been teaching for over 4 years. When I first began my yoga journey, it was a time when I was also struggling with many things that were physical, mental and spiritual. I wanted to find something that would help me on my healing journey. I found yoga and made it a passion. Through Yoga I was able to heal myself and get back in control of my body, mind & spirit. I completed my 200 hour YTT and began my journey as a teacher.

In 2022 I founded Cattleya Yoga Studio.

As I reflect on the journey that brought me here, I'm filled with gratitude for the opportunity to serve and uplift others through the practice of yoga. My commitment to creating a space of healing, growth, and community remains steadfast, and I'm excited for the journey that lies ahead.
