First of all, thank you so much for being here. Your support is beyond appreciated.
I am a first-generation Latina, born and raised in Los Angeles. My love for yoga began over 15 years ago, and it has become a lifelong journey of growth and transformation. When I landed my dream job as a NICU RN at one of LA’s top hospitals, I finally felt the space to truly commit to my practice. Living in Santa Monica, I was surrounded by incredible teachers and studios that deepened my connection to the practice and the community.
A few years later, I took a leap of faith — traveling to Thailand to complete my 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training. That experience changed everything.
Fast forward to today, I’ve been teaching yoga for over six years while continuing to work night shifts as a registered nurse — a balance that keeps me grounded in both science and spirit. My guiding mantra has always been “always remain a student.” I honor and respect the practice by continuously learning and expanding my understanding of yoga and healing.
In 2023, I completed a yoga teacher mentorship and graduated from a Sound Practitioner training, which opened new doors for me to integrate yoga and sound healing into hospital wellness programs and committees.
When I left for Thailand, I could have never imagined where this path would lead. I remind myself daily that we only live once — so I continue to grow, heal, learn, love, and empower myself one day at a time.
Om Shanti Shanti Shanti
