About the Teacher
My journey with yoga began in 1998 after a snowboarding injury led me to explore a deeper relationship with my body, breath, and awareness. What began as a way to heal physically became the beginning of a lifelong devotional and spiritual path.
At the age of 18, I found my teacher and began immersing myself in the practice and teachings of yoga. Over the years, I have studied with various teachers and traveled to experience different approaches, traditions, and perspectives within the yoga world.
Through this exploration, I developed a deep appreciation for the classical and traditional approach to yoga—the importance of dedication, consistency, humility, and the student-teacher relationship. I believe yoga is not simply a physical practice, but a path of self-discovery, inner transformation, and connection.
My teaching is rooted in respect for the traditional teachings of Ashtanga Yoga and the lineage that has carried this practice through generations. I aim to create a space where students can deepen their practice, listen inwardly, and experience yoga as a living tradition.
It is my honor to share this practice with those who feel called to explore a deeper connection with themselves and the path of yoga.

Yoga is a living tradition passed through teacher-to-student transmission. This retreat honors the roots of the practice through authentic teachings, discipline, and a sincere relationship with the lineage.
Rather than approaching yoga as a quick method or a collection of techniques, we explore the practice as a pathway toward awareness, presence, and transformation.
Through asana, breath, meditation, and self-reflection, you will be invited to move beyond seeking external validation and reconnect with the wisdom, strength, and clarity within yourself.
A Practice Rooted in Tradition
This retreat is designed for those moving through a life transition, those feeling called to reconnect with themselves, and practitioners who wish to deepen their relationship with yoga beyond the physical practice.
My intention is to create a space where you feel welcomed, supported, and at ease—a place where you can soften, open, and reconnect with yourself.
Together, we will practice, share, learn, and experience the beauty of community in the heart of Costa Rica.
