FAQ
What inspired you to teach yoga?
Firstly that yoga is a phylosophy of life and offered to me as a young woman a sense of positive direction to my life and a purpose. Secondly the connection I felt to nature in my body by practicing the asanas combined with pranayama gave me a great sense of inner power and control over my life and destiny. Lastly, the truth and the orientation of the yogic teachings on how to become a better human being and benefit others.
Who are your most influential teachers?
I started my studies in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and had the chance to learn from Mestre De Rose, Pedro Kupfer, and Anderson Allegro. Here in the USA, Shiva Rea, Anne O'Brien, and Paul Grilley. My path in Bhakti Yoga started with Odissi dance in 1997, where I studied with Sonia Galvao. I lived in India for six months in 2000, devoted to Odissi, and since 2001 I have been a student of Vishnu Tattva Das here in California.
