My unfolding path

This path began for me in 1994, when I went searching for a local yoga class in my new Ottawa neighbourhood.  I came and went from classes for the next few years, until I found that life ran smoother with a committed practice. I took Yanumoja Yoga teacher training with Nikki Manzie in 1999/2000, and began teaching classes in Kars, Manotick and Greely soon after. Life, parenting, family, teaching and training continue to interweave, and this path continues to support me.
