| Credentials Studying under a 30 year veteran of Kripalu Yoga, I received my Yoga Teacher Certification in 2002 and was fortunate enough to receive a well rounded training that exposed me to several forms of yoga such as Kundalini Yoga, Iyengar Yoga, Svaroopa Yoga, and Kali Ray Tri Yoga. More... Every day that I teach yoga proves to me that my intuition led me in the right direction. Sharing yoga with people is what I love to do the most and I hope that one day I can share it with you! Experience
