I became a yoga teacher in 2012, I completed a 200 hours mindful yoga therapy course with Kathy Ward. Every year I work on deepening my education. I have a diploma in perinatal and baby yoga with Birthlight, I attended a training in yin yoga and numerous courses in yoga related to physiotherapy. In 2022 I competed my 500 hours certification with Jason Crandell.
