About Me
My background is as a food scientist specializing in understanding nutrient absorption as it pertains to your current emotional status. I attained my fellowship in Healthy Aging from Stanford's School of Medicine. I also have certificates in Chartered Herbalism, Reflexology, Reiki, Sound Healing. I worked with Deepak Chopra's team in San Diego and bring a lot of Ayurvedic wisdom into my yoga teaching. When not teaching yoga I am working to become a master gardener. I also am a strong supporter and organizer for Palestine working with the Palestinian families from Gaza we have here in Winnipeg, and collaborating with groups across the nation for Palestine.
About My Service
I teach both restorative and hatha yoga where I specialize in covering body mechanics, understanding your body type (Ayurvedic) and how that impacts movement/mobility. I work with female trauma victims and we use yoga and breathwork to work on healing and looking at where we store grief and pain. I also cover understanding your body and how it changes/what it needs from you as seasons change. Lastly, in some of my women-led classes we cover women's health issue including yoga and breast care, reproductive care, perimenopause and menopause.
