My journey to Yoga

Yoga is one of the only activities I know that allows you to relax and unwind, while building muscular strength and releasing tension in the joints all at the same time! When practiced regularly and with intention yoga has the ability to transform your life on a physical, emotional and even spiritual level. Over ten years of personal practice and five years of teaching I have personally experienced this transformation and have witnessed it in a number of my students. Yoga has the power to heal. 

Whether you are a long time yogi or if you have no experience at all, I can guide you through your yoga practice. My warm and authentic approach creates a balance between yang (energizing) and yin (relaxing), and my clear instructions make my classes accessible to all. I like to combine pranayama (breathing techniques), asana (postures), and visualizations so that you will feel balanced and grounded, and like you’re floating away on a cloud...​
I started practising yoga in 2007, the same year I began my first full-time job as a high school science teacher. I had suffered from anxiety for many years and with my new responsibilities I was barely able to cope anymore. I talked to friends, a therapist, my parents, but nothing and no one could help. I was stuck.

At first, yoga was my form of weekly “exercise”, but quickly it became so much more. My migraines began to subside,
(a health issue I had consulted numerous health care specialists about, none of which were able to help) and my constricted chest began to feel much more open and light. Breathing became easier, and over time, I learned to gain control of my anxiety. Yoga was the most effective “medicine” I had found for both my body and my mind.

In 2013 my yoga teacher training (YTT) with Melanie Richards and Albert Bissada gave me another first hand experience of the healing power of yoga. Although less anxious I was still very much a “worrier” and not genuinely happy with my life. My background in neuroscience also made me very resistant to the more spiritual elements of yoga. I chose Faith as my “yoga name” and mantra throughout my training as this was something I wanted to bring more of into my life. And what a profound impact this practice had. By the end of the training I felt happier and more confident with myself and in my relationships. Again, yoga had transformed my life!

An eager student, I have taken many different yoga trainings since my 200hr YTT. I studied in Rishikesh, India for 3 months in 2013 as I was curious to learn the roots of yoga. In 2014 I did a yin yoga training again with Melanie Richards, in 2017 I completed my prenatal yoga teacher training with Amanda Degrace from Little Lotus Yoga and I also studied postnatal yoga with Jayme Hernandez. All of my teachers have been my mentors and have contributed to the unique yoga teacher I am today.
