MEET YOUR Yoga Teacher

I’ve been there. Working long hours and rarely making time for myself while ignoring that inner voice.

Yoga and nature are two things that allow me to see life from a more balanced perspective.

As soon as we create space for self-care and learn how to keep stress at healthy levels: creativity and courage flourished. I created Slowing Down Retreat to share my passions, my life-long learnings and the experience of self-discovery by living with no fear and with more soft eyes.
