What inspired me to become a yoga teacher
It was an answer to my prayer when I was in a dark space in my life.
I have since changed the word survive with thrive. I was torn between perceived guarantee of a regular income and perceived non guarantee of an income outside of the corporate field. There was a deeper calling to live fully and to reconnect back to who I am.
There was a knowing I had, similar if not more confirming, with my first flow class, the feeling "this is it". It is said, "when you know you know" if you don't know, then you're still thinking and in the question phase.
Favourite Yoga pose
Anything that gets me into a state of meditation. Peace is my natural state and It follows me everywhere. It's in my physical yoga practice and it's in the way that I do everyday things off my mat.
What I gained as an intuitive energy healer
I would start off with what I have lost first to give you the answer. I have lost and continue to, on different levels, release anything that is chaos/disorder. So I have gained the ability to live in order, in alignment with who I am. It's daily work.
Favourite health supplements
I'm a medicine from nature type of woman. My herbs, my fruits and my vegetables.
Favourite breakfast
Seasonal fruits
Three things in my medicine cabinet
Cod liver oil, Parsley and Magnesium
Favourite workout outside of yoga
