Moksha Yoga

The amazing journeys and travels I have been on, every experience that has crossed my path, the amazing people that I have met along the way have all brought me to a place where I am able to share my love for yoga. Yoga is a treasure in my life. I am very fortunate to have had the opportunity to travel to India in 2010, for Moksha Yoga Training, and spend time with an incredible group of individuals where I got to be immersed in a magical culture, live yoga everyday, and encounter a journey of self-discovery. In 2012, I traveled to Arizona to deepen my own practice and grow as a teacher under the guidance of Baron Baptiste! This training was absolutely incredible and has changed my life! I am beaming with excitement and cannot wait for my next training! The Moksha series and the... Read the profile >>
