About Me

The keynote of yoga is dedication. It is the master key to all joy and peace.
This is the basic teaching of Yoga: give, give, give. Let every minute of your life be useful to humanity. Bring peace and joy. This is the only way to true happiness; there are no shortcuts.
I believe that yoga is a power tool that can raise the spiritual and social conscious of the individual and more importantly, the community. As a certified yoga instructor, I incorporate this approach into my classes; I offer my students space within the practice to experience yoga through movement of the body and the breath. Having taught novice to advanced students, I adapt my classes to a range of ages and a variety of abilities.
I am also a co-founder of Shanti Town a grassroots product line that combines the elements of hip-hop and yoga. Shanti Town goods are one-of-a-kind hand painted products that combine yogic messages with authentic urban flare. Through the incorporation of yogic sayings and hip-hop flavor, Shanti Town products promote peace and help the community stay focused on their journey towards spiritual transformation; check out Shanti Town goods @ http://www.myspace.com/shantitownyoga or click on Shanti Town
