First and foremost, I want to introduce you to how I got into yoga.
While in university back in 2009, a good friend invited me to attend a free class offered by Lululemon in Square One Mississauga. I am not a morning person, so waking up early on a Sunday morning to "work out" was not on top of my list. But boy, was I glad to wake up early that day and take my first plunge into the yoga world! Following the class I felt invigorated and took on the rest of the day full of feel-good energy! Over the years, I joined a several hot yoga studios, attended yoga classes offered at my local gym, and built a solid home practice thanks to YouTube. This exercise routine quickly turned into a passion. In 2010, I graduated from the University of Toronto with an Honours Bachelor of Science, majoring in Psychology and Sociology. I currently work at an office job that is unrelated to my studies and career path. Being stuck in an unfulfilling job, I continued my yoga practice to relieve stress. I felt at home on the mat.
After a year of pondering, I finally decided to enroll in yoga teacher training during the Fall of 2012. I wanted to take my own practice to the next level and learn the history and what it truly means to be a yogini. I completed my 250-hour yoga teacher training on December 2012 with Hot Yoga Wellness under the guidance of Sujun Chen. I am trained in Hatha Yoga both in a heated and non-heated room. I am also interested in teaching Kids Yoga and Pre-Natal Yoga. I plan to get certified in Pre/Post-natal yoga in the near future. As a personal practice, I'd love to practice more Bikram and Ashtanga.
And of course, what's an intro without a photo? Here is a recent one of me taken during my amazing trip to the beautiful island of Oahu, Hawaii.
