“My mission as a bilingual, movement instructor is to guide different body types into a deeper and more comfortable state of flexibility by integrating mobility and strength within the movement practice.”

I’m a 33 year old mother of two, living in the farmlands outside of Guadalajara, Mexico. Besides being a happily married photographer & movement instructor, I dedicate my time gardening and caring for the things around me. My role in this life is not only to learn and guide, but to do it with love, intention, and knowledge. I will always be a student, but teaching is a new-found passion of mine. I love implementing strategic cues within asana yoga poses, body weight training, contortion drills, and mobility exercises, all while giving plenty of options, accommodating from beginners to more advanced practitioners.

I was introduced to yoga 14 years ago in the form of hot yoga and I haven’t been able to get it off my mind since. I completed my 200 hour YTT with Authentic Movements in 2022 which ignited a spark in me to keep learning and moving! I’ve completed many online courses and in-person workshops incorporating intuitive sequencing, flexibility & contortion, handstands & inversions, and deepening mobility regarding the nervous system. I simply teach what I practice: creative and embodied asana sequencing, backbend training, and arm balances of all kinds. The goal is to never stop learning, teaching, and finding my online & in-person community.
