A dear friend once told me that I  "came out of the womb a yogi".

Practicing Yoga has been a regular part of my life for many years.

After losing my brother and father within 2 years of one another, Yoga allowed me to find balance in my universe again, and was my gateway to healing...
During a meditation in early 2008 I woke with tears streaming down my face and a flash of embarrassment initiated an "I'm sorry" to the teacher of that class...I'll never forget her words to me... "these tears are cleansing your soul to allow your life to be more peaceful. THIS is Yoga."...they were the most sincere, kind words a stranger had ever said to me...and THAT was YOGA!
 
Over the years, my love and passion for yoga has grown and touched my family as well. My daughter has been practicing yoga since the age of 5; and after several years of persuasion, my husband now regularly enjoys yoga.  Experiencing the many benefits yoga has to offer, my husband was inspired to create a charity yoga program for at risk youths, in the Flemingdon Park area of Toronto. "THIS is Yoga."

After spending 2 decades in the corporate world, I finally realized it was my career choice that was making me unhappy, not who I worked for or where.  I made the choice to pack up my desk and say goodbye to the only career I had ever known...not knowing where or what the universe had in store for me.  I knew in my heart, it was time for me to change direction. "THAT was Yoga"

Inspired by a dear friend, I finally decided to follow my heart to started my journey into the Yoga profession.  I travelled to NY to participate in a Certification Program through Rainbow Kids Yoga, which is specifically designed to teach yoga to Children and Families.

It is my passion in life to share yoga with children, and it starts one child at a time. "THIS is Yoga"

Namaste.
