She wishes to pursue future trainings such as Yoga for First Responders as she is the Wellness Program Coordinator for the San Francisco Police Department.She discovered a DEEP passion for yoga and has been a practitioner for 18 years. The moment she step foot at the IYI, she said it was TRULY a life-changing experience and grew to become more disciplined in her life. She said that the 200-hour certification program was definitely a time-tested journey but in turn, she was enriched and enlightened by the great teachings of the Integral Yoga® tradition. In the end, it was all well worth it as it allowed for her to gain the knowledge and true-depth study of the science and philosophy of YOGA.
