The Mama Behind the Magic 

My journey happened just like so many teachers before me. I had been in love with idea of yoga for as long as I can remember, but as I delved further into the practice I began to realize that there weren't many people in these spiritual spaces that looked like me or had remotely gone though the struggles synonymous with being a person of color. Dramatically enough I was on the brink of taking my own life before I allowed it to truly change me. I was overweight, depressed and ridiculously unfit for being in my early twenties. Through the power of yoga I regained my self-confidence, control of my mind and most importantly my sense of identity, self-worth & self love.  After receiving my 200-Hr Certification in 2017, I fell in love with helping others reach their highest personal potential,  however in 2018 after becoming a 500Hr Certified Teacher I realized my calling was to bring my gifts back to my own community.
