First of all, thank you so much for being here. Your support is beyond appreciated.
I am a first generation Latina who was born and raised in LA. The first time I fell in love with yoga was over 15 years ago. Once I landed my dream job as a NICU RN at one of LA’s top hospital, I felt relief in having the opportunity to commit to my practice. Living in Santa Monica it was quite easy to find exceptional teachers and yoga studios. After a couple years, I took a few weeks off to go to Thailand for a 200 YTT.
Fast forward to today, I have now been teaching yoga for over 5.5 years meanwhile still working night shifts for over a decade. My favorite saying is “always remain a student,” therefore I stay committed to honoring and respecting the practice by remaining a student of yoga.
In 2023, I’ve completed a yoga teacher mentorship and graduated from a Sound Practitioner training. Doors have opened and the opportunity to engage in hospital committees by integrating yoga and sound.
When I left for Thailand, I never imagined any of this. I remind myself that we only live once, therefore in my own way I am growing, healing, learning, loving, and empowering myself one day at a time.
Om Shanti Shanti Shanti
