Born and raised in small town Ontario Canada, I have been living, studying and teaching in Asia and the Middle East for more than 20 years. First introduced to Vipassana Meditation in Japan in 1991, and then later that same year to Yoga in India, my dream to establish a place where the body and spirit could be continually rediscovered was born with "Yoga Mala" Studio in Beit Yannai, Israel. I now divide teaching time between Israel and Canada and raise three boys in my spare time. These days, my classes are built upon a wide range of experience and are full of variety, mainly emphasizing Vinyasa and Ashtanga principles, especially Breathwork , Bandha, and a general spirit of playfulness toward the exploration of Asana and the body-mind. I deeply believe that experience opens the door to wisdom, and the devotion that arises from imparting that wisdom is a constant and often surprising wellspring of joy to me! Teaching arises daily and spontaneously out of my everyday life…out of small things…the smile on my baby's face, a flower in my garden, a disagreement with a loved one. If I could have one prayer it would go something like this…"Lord make me truly available to this moment, whatever it brings, so that I shall never miss out on what the Divine Guru is trying to show me." It is my wish that you and I will cross paths in order to live this prayer and make it meaningful.

As you walk your own path, Namaste!
