About me

I'd love to tell you why I chose to create a yoga studio that feels like home.

 

My heart lies in personal connection. For years, I thought that's why I belonged in social work. As a social worker and sexologist, I worked in some of the most interesting places where I could make a huge difference for people, which was wonderful. Because I could empathize so well with others, I was able to make that connection. But after years, I also realized that this was also very costly for me. I then chose a different path where I could still be there for others, but in a gentler way: yoga. The first step was teaching Trauma-Sensitive yoga to clients with PTSD. It felt so good that, after many ups and downs, I decided to stop working in social work altogether and focus solely on yoga. And now I notice that I'm increasingly becoming who I truly am.

 

At 36 weeks pregnant, I earned my Yin Yoga diploma. I loved using yoga during my pregnancy to find peace for myself and my body, where so much was happening! Every week was different. Sometimes it was just about enjoying and relaxing, and sometimes it was about dealing with the insecurities and fears that arose. During my two pregnancies (and the periods afterward...!), I benefited so much from being able to rely on yoga. Helping others feel good, relax, and learn to trust their bodies is what I love most. That's why I also completed the Hatha, Nidra, Prenatal, Postnatal, and Mom & Baby Yoga courses.

 

I love seeing how someone can relax and let go during a yoga class. I enjoy offering this warm, personal space where you can be yourself and leave feeling more at peace. I didn't always find it easy to take good care of myself in a world that demanded so much of me, and still does. Through the lens of yoga, I've realized that I don't have to ignore how I feel or push myself beyond my limits. I want to share with you what it feels like to be warm and gentle with yourself, even when you might be feeling down, anxious, or stressed. You can do what feels right for you.
