I am a registered yoga teacher with Yoga Alliance to keep my integrity within the broad career of a Yoga instructor. I am currently registered as a 200Hr E-RYT and 500Hr RYT.
Yoga Alliance Standards set the ethical and educational framework for yoga teachers and schools in order to ensure high quality, safe, accessible, and equitable yoga teaching in communities around the world.
