I received my formal training in yoga at Southwest Institute for Healing Arts in Tempe, Arizona. I learned under Christy Burnette and Rhoda Miriam, and I have also studied with Aradhana Kaur and Mary Bruce.

After receiving my certification, I taught in neighborhood parks and gardens in Tempe and Cupertino, CA. I later created Yoga for Peace for universities in Austria and Costa Rica.

I have completed a master's thesis on how yoga affects people who have experienced domestic violence. My research involved teaching at a local domestic violence shelter in Santa Clara County, California.

I also teach private lessons and group lessons.
