Though I had studied metaphysics and other healing arts, yoga gave me the body alignment and mind strength that I was craving.  It has made me more patient, loving, and emotionally stable.  I can concentrate better, I have more energy and I am more confident in myself.  If you are open to the possibilities, you, too, can reap the many positive benefits of yoga.

I began my study of yoga more than a decade ago.  Having been born and raised in Venezuela, I came to the United States in my late teens to refine my English and learn business skills that I could bring home to help with the family business.  During my university years I became fascinated with the healing arts culture in the United States and after graduation, I chose to stay in North America to pursue certification as both a yoga instructor and neuromuscular massage therapist.  It has been a wonderful journey that has included study under Patabi Jois, Mark Elsner, David Swenson, David Williams, Ana Forest, and Brian Kest, and many classes at Yoga and Inner Peace, Sidha Yoga, and The Omega Institute.  Further exploration of the medium has taken me on travels throughout Scandinavia and Europe, including a three month stay in Italy.

Yoga has provided me with new tools to face the lessons in life, and new enthusiasm to explore the unknown.  It is often said in yoga that you are as young as you keep your mind and spine flexible.  Won’t you join me on a yoga journey and reclaim your youthful joy?

Namaste,
