yoga

yoga and meditation transforms my life time and time again. I first discovered yoga in 2010, shortly after my family immigrated to america from korea. as a fresh-off-the-boat asian teen, I struggled with language, "fitting in", and a host of mental anguish that came with navigating an unfamiliar land full of blue eyes. after my first few practices in a brutally hot room, I began to notice a powerful shift within that kept me returning, eager for more. yoga became my powerful tool that illuminated a path for me to understand the unseen and connect with the universal. through disciplined practice, I found a profound sense of belonging and inner peace.
fast forward to today, yoga remains my powerful navigation tool, offering me not just physical strength and flexibility, but also an exploratory lens to recalibrate my ever-evolving center within our world. just as much as I love practicing as a student, I love sharing yoga as a teacher, passing on all I’ve learned throughout my journey and from my amazing teachers. the community that forms around this practice holds a special place in my heart.
everyone tries yoga for different reasons. whether you're looking to find physical healing, inner strength, or a deeper connection to yourself, my intention is to create a space for you to explore and grow, just as I did.
