My Yoga Journey

My relationship with yoga began in India in 2017, where I first discovered its transformative power. What started as a physical practice soon became a profound journey of self-discovery and inner connection.

In 2024, I completed my Yoga Teacher Training at Yoga Minds in the Netherlands, deepening my understanding and commitment to sharing this ancient wisdom with others. Today, I teach both Hatha and Vinyasa yoga, guiding students toward finding their own connection between breath, body, and consciousness.

"For me, yoga transcends the mat; it is a union with my true self. Whether I'm engaging in a physical Virabhadrasana (Warrior Pose) or tapping into my inner spiritual warrior, yoga helps me connect with my emotions, thoughts, and body."

"Teaching mindfulness to children is about meeting them where they are— using playful activities, stories, and gentle awareness practices to help them develop skills that will serve them throughout their lives."

Mindfulness Training

My passion for mindfulness led me to complete Eline Snel's renowned Course to become a mindfulness children trainer. This certification equipped me with specialized techniques for teaching present-moment awareness to young minds.

Since October 2025, I've been working as a Mindfulness Trainer for Children at the Academy for Mindful Teaching, helping children ages 5-11 develop essential life skills through playful, age-appropriate practices.
