I completed my 500 hour training in Hatha yoga in 2006, since then I have continued to study with Raghunatha Cappo (NYC), Ella Cojocaru (LA), as well as multiple Jiva Mukti and Prana Flow teachers. I’ve had a personal study of Vaishnava bhakti yoga, and yoga philosophy since 2004 which heavily influences my vinyasa classes.
