What nurtures you: Meditation, Music, and my imagination

Places I love: Maya Tulum, Mexico. San Francisco, CA. NYC. Cleveland, OH

I can't get enough of... hot sweaty vinyasa classes!

I learn... through breakdowns. It's painful sometimes, but breakdowns lead to breakthroughs!

I smile when... when I don't want to. It changes my perspective.

A source of joy for me is... teaching yoga!

I am grateful for: The back injury that brought me to my yoga practice.

My favorite pose is... It's a tie between Handstand and Warrior 2.

Life is too short to... be afraid. I believe that fear is a choice that we make to fixate on the worst case scenario. Life is full of possibilities!!

There is nothing better than... taking road trips with my best canine friend named Olive.

Words that I try to live by... "Live for yourself and you will live in vain; Live for others, and you will live again." — Bob Marley

A defining moment in my life... When Diana Vitantonio said to me 'You are a yoga teacher'. It was years before I decided to go through my first teacher training.

I love.... My family, friends, my dog Olive, music, art, and yoga of course.

Favorite song lyrics... "None but ourselves can free our minds" - Bob Marley

Playing on my ipod: Anything from Krishna Das to The Black Keys

The best yoga class I ever experienced... A small class consisting of assistants and teachers taught by my teacher Baron Baptiste.

Favorite day of the week is... Saturday

What no one knows about me... I'm a big nerd. I like sci-fi, technology, and obscure music.

I am so passionate about... Creativity of just about any sort. Bring it on.

Books I believe in: Into Power - Baron Baptiste, Light on Yoga - Iyengar
