My relationship with yoga is rooted in a deep love and reverence for its ancient wisdom and its ability to guide us home to ourselves. I am drawn to the many layers of this practice from asana and movement to philosophy, Ayurveda, and the subtle spaces where body, mind, and spirit meet.
I believe movement is medicine, that the body holds its own intelligence, and that the practice of yoga offers us a pathway toward deeper connection with both the self and the greater Self. My approach is informed by years of study, teaching, and my experiences, lessons, challenges, and transformations that life itself has offered me. I see our lived experiences are among our greatest teachers, and I bring that understanding into the space I hold for others.
I have been teaching yoga since 2014, weaving together my background as a Yoga Instructor, Ayurveda Practitioner, Reiki Master, and Birth Doula, alongside my ongoing relationship with Italian folk magic and ancestral wisdom. These traditions inform the way I see healing, ritual, embodiment, and our connection to the natural rhythms of life.
As a teacher, I hope to create a safe space for curiosity and remembrance, where students are invited into exploration rather than expectation. My intention is to share these teachings with humility, heart, and an understanding that we are all lifelong students.
It is an honor to walk alongside others as they deepen their relationship with this practice and discover the wisdom that has been within them all along.
