I am honored to be one of the lead faculty members with Hawaii Yoga Institute. As part of this program, I lead, assist, and support trainings throughout the year. I value the vision and methodology of this school in cultivating teachers through the process of self reflection in a safe and nurturing environment. My aim is to help teachers think critically and provide the tools that allow them to share the practice of yoga in a mindful and purposeful way based on personal experience.

From Hawaii Yoga Institute:
"Hawaii Yoga Institute is committed to the living art of yoga. Our curriculum is specifically designed to engage a playful spirit through an inquiry into the multi-dimensional self. Our educational model facilitates personal development, self-reflection, individualized spirituality and movement meditation in a safe and warm environment created for learning, growing and discovery with others.
​

"The 200HR Yoga Teacher Training program meets and exceeds the requirements of the national American Yoga Alliance. Your yoga teacher training completion certification will be in Multi-Style Yoga. We feel it is imperative in modern times to have a well rounded yoga education. We pride ourselves on giving you a unique educational experience with an introduction to multiple yoga styles and traditions so that you may develop your own individual teaching voice."
