Los Angeles, California was a perfect environment for my birth both
physically and into yoga. LA offered me the chance to learn yoga from many learned teachers. I met my spiritual teacher, Gurumayi Chidvilasanda, on May 19th, 1989 in LA and from that moment I started studying “yoga”.
My first asana practice was Ashtanga vinyasa yoga at Yoga Works, Santa Monica. I took my first Teacher Training with Maty Erzaty (Astanga yoga) and Lisa Walford (Iyengar yoga), I learned tremendously from them both in asana and attitude. During my visits to Gurumayi’s Ashram in New York and India, I took many workshops & trainings with John Friend, founder of Anusara Yoga. I liked his style, humor and technique. John became my yoga teacher because his heart is so compassionate, and his mind is so sharp. In 2003, when I was asked to open a yoga studio in Zurich, Switzerland, an “LA Style” yoga studio, I knew this was grace so I stepped into the flow.
Moving to a new culture and bringing a new style of yoga to Zurich and Europe has been challenging and rewarding. In January 2006, I was
certified as an Anusara Yoga Instructor. Presently, I teach weekly classes, trainings and retreats as well as host many incredible Anusara Yoga
teachers here in Zurich. Come visit and play with me or I’ll visit you.
