About the teacher:

I fell in love with Kundalini Yoga over 10 years ago. My journey flows  from architecture, art, feng shui to yoga. I was always a curious child  and developed into an even more curious adult. I started to wonder about  life, what is existence? what is my purpose?  by detaching myself for  the need to get the answers, i found my heart, I look for what's  exciting to me, I follow my Joy, my Bliss.”
