Healing One Breath at a time

Originally from Peru, I moved to Chicago in 2002. I started practicing Yoga out of necessity in order to relieve back pain. Not only Yoga helped me eliminate my back pain, but I quickly realized that there was a lot more going on than just a physical practice.

I practiced Hatha Yoga and Vinyasa for 10 years before doing my teacher training. Introduced to Ashtanga Yoga during my 200 hrs Teacher Training (2012) through Jonny Kest’s Life Power Yoga, I felt a strong connection to this specific school of Yoga. Since then, I have surrendered to the challenges and lessons of Ashtanga. On this path, I have had the opportunity to learn from David Swenson, David Williams, Tim Miller, Tim Feldman and Kino McGregor on different workshops. In 2014, I did my first Ashtanga teacher Training with Manju Pattabhi Jois , and since then, I look forward to practicing and learning all the aspects of the Ashtanga tradition from Manju, my teacher.
