I describe myself as a yoga teacher, philosopher, truth seeker and peace activist. Yoga didn't save my life, it taught me how to save my own life. It's why I made a decision in 2016 to leave the corporate world to teach yoga. To follow my calling to help build a kinder, more peaceful and balanced world by empowering humans of all ages to free our souls and unleash our individual superpowers. I honor the Krishnamacharya lineage.
