"It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop".
- Confucius
”Your teacher can open the door, but you must enter it yourself.
Ancient proverb
My journey with yoga is a reflection of the belief that we are perpetually students and teachers, intertwined in a ceaseless exchange of knowledge and experiences.
This philosophy has guided me from my first encounter with yoga upon my arrival in London in 2005 to the latest chapter of my life, nestled in the serene Torio Hills of Veraguas, Panama.
I have always believed in our dual role in each other’s lives: as learners eager to absorb and as guides ready to share. This reciprocity enriches our understanding and appreciation of existence, making every day a lesson in itself.
I had no idea what yoga practice would bring into my life…
For me, yoga began as a path to physical wellness but soon unfolded into a profound journey through the philosophy of being, interlacing with my intrinsic interest in human potential. It became a quest not just for physical agility but for spiritual expansion and a deeper connection with the essence of life. This led me to explore and eventually teach Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga, each step reaffirming my belief that we are always at the beginning of understanding more and living more.
In December 2023, a new chapter began. My family and I chose to embrace a life closer to nature, moving to the rustic beauty of Torio Hills in Panama. This decision, made at 42, was driven by a deep-seated yearning for simplicity and life more attuned to the natural world.
It has opened new avenues for learning and has enriched my practice and teaching of yoga with fresh insights and a rejuvenated spirit.
”Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.
Mahatma Gandhi
As I continue on this journey, now more than ever, I am reminded of the boundless potential for growth and learning. Surrounded by the tranquillity of Panama’s countryside, my commitment to yoga and its teachings deepens, inviting me to explore new paths and expand my consciousness through the vibrant tapestry of life that envelops me.
Join me as I share this journey with you. I embrace each day as both a student and a teacher, forever in pursuit of knowledge, understanding, and the sheer joy of being alive amidst the wonders of nature.
