My half German-half Mexican background has had EVERYTHING to do with who I am today. My parents instilled in us a love for family, animals, art, language, culture, education, and a desire to make learning a life long habit. 
A former athlete and USC graduate, I had the fortune of immediately upon graduation becoming a working actress. 
After years in front of the camera, I am a stylist for film and television.  Years later, I have found that this brings in a paycheck, but does not fulfill my desires. 

I have been a yoga practitioner & teacher since the 90's. I have taken advanced teacher training with some of the greats-Eric Schiffman, Desiree Rambaugh, Jeanne Heileman, and Leslie Bogart. I became certified to teach after losing my daughter Senya at birth.

Today, teaching is a regular part of my life.  I practice yoga not only for myself, but for my children. I want to instill in them the importance of living a healthy lifestyle and the value of having a strong body. No matter how young or 'old' we are, no matter our physical limitations, anyone can have a yoga practice-and benefit from it. 
These are the lessons I hope to share with others through my yoga teaching. 

I enjoy a flow style of Hatha Yoga, Vini-Yoga, and the alignment based Iyengar Yoga. I love melding these variations together to build strength and flexibility, while encouraging proper alignment. Go to your edge!
