About Me:

I have been practicing yoga for over fifteen years. My studies intensified in the last two years, when I enrolled in the yoga teacher training program at ‘Sananda Devi’, under the guidance of the amazing yogini, Ananda Shakti. (See the ‘Friends of Bliss’ page for more information).

I love teaching yoga for so many reasons. There’s the reward of seeing my students leave energized and refreshed (or relaxed puddy, as the case may be!). ~ I love delving into the deeper, meditative aspects of spiritual practice, and I’m so inspired when I find others who want to share that experience with me. Getting to do yoga several times a week is also a total perk of my job!!

My classes range according to the needs of my students. Some are fast and physical, some are deep and introspective. In all of them, I teach a comprehensive style of Hatha Yoga that focuses on the cultivation of awareness. In the Tantric tradition, there is nothing in our experience that is unimportant, so students are encouraged to cultivate awareness of the breath, body, and mind, as well as the external environment. Instead of resisting things like sounds or thoughts (or my cats playing on the yoga mat!), students are encouraged to move gently into an experience of surrendering to what has been called the eternal now.

The expanded awareness that results from the yoga practice can then become a tool for the transformation of consciousness, leading to personal, and potentially global spiritual evolution. 

I welcome students of all ages, abilities, incomes, and interests to discover the world of yoga. I'm inspired and rewarded by sharing my teachings with many people.

I'm also blessed to be a part of Toronto's spiritual and healing-arts community! I welcome you to check out the ‘Events’ page for more neat things workshops and other happening here at Follow Your Bliss, as well as the ‘Bliss Services’ page to see what amazing treatments (massage, reiki, etc!) are being offered.

~ My bliss is to create a space which inspires people to fully experience the majesty of life, so that we may co-create a whole world of bliss while awakening to Divinity within.

Follow Your Bliss opened in summer 2009, and it has grown into an amazing healing-arts and community vibe. I’m so grateful and blessed. Thank you for your visit. Please check out this website, or email me for more details. If you would like to come as a student, or be involved in membership, I welcome you and look forward to connecting.

Namaste, and happy bliss-following!!!
