Discovering and becoming aware of ourselves and the beauty that surrounds us is probably one of the most difficult skills that we can develop.

Through the practice of yoga we can develop and strengthen this awareness of self and become more centered in all of our daily activities.

Going on a short trip or vacation allows us the chance to shed our daily routines. Typically we become more open to new experiences, trying different foods and learning about different cultures.

Here in San Miguel de Allende I teach yoga, Mexican food cooking classes, and lead tours of the Charco Botanical Garden

Yoga classes offered are both group and private. I am an experienced yoga teacher with over 1500 hours (12 years) of teaching experience. I regularly attend yoga conferences in the USA, and have studied with both B.K.S. Iyengar and Sri. K. Pattabhi Jois. I teach a Hatha Vinyasa style, sort of an Astanga / Iyengar blend, but really I teach to the students I have in the class at that moment.

Additionally, I teach private small group cooking classes, Mexican food of course.

I also lead walking tours of the Charco del Ingenio, the 170 acre Botanical Garden and Nature Preserve here in San Miguel de Allende.
