Yoga Renew Teacher Training Program 200 Hours

I passed my test on 12/09/2020 with a score of 97% !!! YAY!!! Yoga has been a part of my life since childhood, and I’m a big believer that YOUR Yoga practice is just that – YOURS. So however you need that to look (modifications, etc) in order to “Keep Flowing Forward in Life”, I will do my best to help you get there. The most important aspect, for me, when teaching students is to help you to build sustainability and depth into YOUR Yoga practice.

Feminine Force of the Amazon 3 Week Immersion Sponsored by Global Sisterhood (Fall 2022)

I absolutely loved my Feminine Force of the Amazon 3 week immersion w/ Kenewma of the Yawanawa Tribe through the *Global Sisterhood! Kenewma, a rising feminine leader within her Amazon Tribe the Yawanawa. I spent these three weeks participating in a Sacred Spiritual & Physical Dieta (similar to lent), learning Sacred Songs and Prayers in the Yawanawa language, and processing Emotions as Teachers (and past trauma) that arose during this process. While I am still re-working the program every month, giving up something new that I need to work on (Dieta), and recognizing the fact that it will take much time to really learn the songs and prayers by heart, I feel that I can bring the blessings of this experience into my work with other women. *Want to expand your own Feminine Force?
