Do What You Love
&
Love What You Do!

Teaching gives me a sense of fulfilment that no corporate-style job ever could. When I teach, I feel most like myself — grounded, present, and deeply connected.
I never grew up loving competition. In my early twenties, I was searching for a way to move that felt supportive rather than demanding. With scoliosis, the gym and competitive sports never felt right, and while swimming was recommended, the pool environment never truly resonated with me. Yoga, however, found me — and immediately felt different. It felt good in my body, and even better in my mind. For the first time, movement became a form of meditation. Simple, accessible, and deeply grounding. Just a mat, breath, and presence. At the time, I was living in California and working a classic 8–5 job. I would rush to yoga studios after work with a kind of devotion — what I can now lovingly call a healthy addiction. Yoga became my anchor. One day, while waiting for class to begin, a new student asked me if I was the teacher. I remember answering, half-joking but fully honest: “I wish.” That moment planted a seed. Not long after, I chose to follow that quiet knowing — and I’ve never looked back.
My teaching is not about acrobatics, extreme flexibility, or impressive shapes. Inversions, handstands, and advanced asanas were never what my body asked for, and they’re not what I centre in my classes. For a long time, I questioned whether that made me a “legitimate” yoga teacher. Over time, I learned to trust my own style — what feels authentic, nourishing, and true. As one of my teachers once said: “Don’t be a yoga teacher. Be yourself, and teach yoga.” That philosophy guides everything I offer. Over the years, I’ve also lived with chronic pain — in my neck, lower back, and through a long journey with hamstring tendonitis. These experiences taught me to listen more closely rather than push harder. They led me to integrate Pilates into my work, supporting strength, stability, and resilience.
I create retreats that blend mindful movement, nature, and meaningful experiences. My passion is rooted in authenticity; offering yoga and pilates as tools for connection rather than performance. Each retreat is designed to feel spacious, supportive, and human, with room to move, explore, rest, and simply be. Through movement, meditation, travel, and shared moments, my intention is to help you slow down, reconnect, and return home to yourself. I hope my enthusiasm for movement, travel, and adventure resonates with you, and I look forward to the possibility of meeting you at one of my upcoming retreats. 

Who My Retreats Are For?

My retreats are for open-minded individuals who love life in all its layers — joy and stillness, pleasure and depth. They’re for those who feel grounded in nature, who appreciate mindful movement, nourishing gastronomy, and the beauty of well-curated, comfortable spaces. The people who join value presence over noise, silence over constant stimulation, and meaningful connection over small talk. They’re comfortable spending time with themselves, while also engaging openly and respectfully with others. People arrive in many forms — solo travelers, couples, friends, and family members. What unites everyone is not age or background, but a shared mindset: curiosity, kindness, emotional maturity, and a love for thoughtful, off-the-beaten-path experiences. Each retreat is an invitation I create to slow down, be taken care of, and reconnect — with yourself, with others, and with life itself.
