I came to yoga searching for something to teach me how to be more resilient and happy after feeling burned out in my nursing job. What I found was something much deeper and lasting. I specialize in restorative yoga because I believe in its power to heal. My teaching style is: OM Yoga, which provides a focus on alignment and a connection of the mind and body. My favorite yoga pose is: Viparita Karani (Legs Up the Wall). Yoga has helped me overcome: Feeling burned out as a nurse. I love my mind because: It’s an interesting place to be! You must try this healthy snack: Ka’chava - Chai is my favorite flavor! My favorite Sanskrit word is Gom because: It means “getting familiar” which is a continuous process and embodies my philosophy of yoga and meditation. We are constantly getting familiar with ourselves and our surroundings if we pay attention. My advice for beginning yogis is: Have fun! Try new things. Have an open mind. I’m most grateful for: My support system of family and friends. The most exotic place I’ve practiced yoga is: On the rooftop patio/pool of the Marina Bay Sands Hotel in Singapore. If I could practice yoga with anyone it would be Cyndi Lee because: She is my teacher and friend. I haven’t been able to practice in-person with her for several years. I’m curious to take my yoga to the next level because: I don’t know what the next level holds for me. My yoga practice has changed over time and I’m enjoying each phase. My heroes are: My parents. They’ve been such an inspiration in many aspects of life and I try to emulate them. My one wish for the world is: Freedom from suffering.
