My path to Ashtanga Yoga started the moment I stumbled into a little shala that had been walking distance from my house for my entire life, and yet I never knew it was there. I knew in that moment that yoga is something that you only discover when you are truly ready. I completed my 200 hour yoga teacher training at The Little Yoga House under the loving guidance of Patricia Morris in 2014, and I have been changed ever since. With the seeds of yoga philosophy, devotion and gratitude planted, the next step of my journey led me to Ashtanga Yoga Long Island.
Under the watchful eye of Aura Reverol, I was invited to deepen my practice. Every time I rolled out the mat, I was encouraged to investigate my breath, my dedication, and most importantly, my state of mind. The more I immersed myself in the Mysore practice, the faster I began to uncover a feeling of dissonance between what I was doing with my life, and what I believe I was meant to do with my life. I took a leap of faith and decided to quit my job, go back to school, and completely start over. That decision has led me here, and I can honestly say I have never felt more at peace.
I am honored and humbled to step into the role of apprentice at Ashtanga Yoga Long Island. I am looking forward to learning, practicing and growing along-side this wonderful community.
