"Be the change you wish to see in the world."
~Ghandi

We are all born with an enlightened heart, calm mind, peaceful smile and a full belly, breathing.  In our yoga practice we are simply coming back to us... to our Divine essence.  Many ways to walk our path, the Art & Science of yoga is a very special and effective one... at least for me.  It started when I was a kid; we were 7 crazy kids growing up in Venezuela, me in the middle.  My childhood was often interrupted by broken bones, a symptom of premature osteoporosis.  At one point in my 20's, I asked myself, "Do I want to live this way? In constant pain & restriction? Of course not!!!" Two days later I met my first yoga instructor, Nancy. Within a few weeks I began to see results.  I started to heal & transform in so many ways... After a year or so in the Valley, my practice brought me to a yoga class where I met my dear friend, Cassandra.  As we grew our practice together she planted a seed in my heart to get my teacher training certification & teach with her.  Meanwhile, I met my husband Carlos, my teacher, guru, daily inspiration.  In 2001 I went to the Seven Centers Yoga Arts, in Sedona, & spent the most amazing 30 days of yoga... of waking up... of Being.  I received my certificate through Mimi, Ruth & Gary and fell in love with them & their teacher training program based on ancient Tantric  Techniques of Yoga & Kriyas developed by Swami Satyananda Saraswati, a disciple of Sivananda.  In 2002, our son David came into our lives and gave us the honor of being his parents and became our teacher, our teacher, our inspiration, our reminder to just Be... be happy, be joyful, be grateful...to shine!
