My Yoga Journey
I am a yoga teacher RYT® 500.After I moved to the Bay Area in 2008 I discovered how yoga and meditation helped me to reconnect with my body and to accept and better control my type 1 diabetes and to manage my arthritis pain. With my background as a nurse and my Doula practice, I always been dedicated to helping people on their healing journey. I felt called to study and share the tools of Yoga with others.

Yoga for Kids
The mind-body practice of yoga has major advantages to improve physical, mental, and emotional health in children. Yoga builds self-esteem, develops focus and concentration, helps with stress management and improves overall health. In a kids yoga class I teach asanas (physical poses), mindfulness, and breathing practices which has a great impact on physical performance and mental stability.

Postpartum Yoga
Emphasis is often placed on the process of labor and delivery, while little attention is given to the postpartum period — a crucial and powerful time for a woman’s recovery, well-being, and vitality. Integral Postpartum Yoga uses tools from Therapeutic Yoga and include practical exercises and techniques to recovering core strength, rehabilitating and toning pelvic floor and abdomen, which are most affected by pregnancy and childbirth.
Setting aside some time each day for yoga will give you this space to focus more deeply on your pregnancy or parenthood. This especially important if you are working or have a busy life or a demanding family to look after. No matter how busy you are, yoga will help you to cope with your life in a more relaxed and focused way. It has a miraculous way to balance your body and mind, learn how to move your body and make more energy available.
Integral Yoga
Swami Satchidananda's Integral Yoga class is a traditional practice and can be a transformative experience.At once, it soothes the mind and focuses the thoughts; it deeply relaxes and energizes.
A seamless blend of the spiritual and physical practice, each Integral Yoga Hatha class begins with chanting to center the mind and uplift the energy, moves through asana sequences essential for full-body health, and concludes with deep relaxation, breath work, and a brief meditation. For more than half a century, it has been the key to an easeful body, a peaceful mind, and
a useful life. www.integralyogasf.org
