My Bikram Yoga practice was born in 2005 out of curiosity for a "hot room" my mother had been raving about. I was a ballet dancer and a volleyball player, but I also suffered from severe asthma since childhood and I tired easily from physical activity. My first few classes were torturous and yet, something kept calling me back into the hot room. I continued my practice throughout college where I found respite from the stress of exams and parties. The peaceful euphoria I felt after each class was the most magnificent feeling! Each year of practice found me stronger and more in control of my breath (my asthma virtually cured!) Today, the hot room is my place to reconnect, rebalance and reimagine my life experience. I completed Bikram's Teacher Training in 2010 and have since enjoyed teaching at my home studio in Long Beach, as well as in California, Hawaii and Mexico. I am married (our first date was a yoga class together!) and a mom to two kids, who teach me daily the lessons of patience, compassion and presence. When not teaching yoga, I teach middle and high school French and Spanish. "Learn to bend and you won't break".

“I always feel surrounded by a calm and positive energy when I walk in to the studio.
I really appreciate having Just Breathe Yoga in my area. The studio is very cozy and clean… They have a great variety of classes and very knowledgeable instructors. It is the first yoga studio that got me hooked on yoga. If you take a class you will feel amazing when you leave. All the instructors I have taken classes with have been great. They explain everything thoroughly and give correction through verbal or hands on assistance based on what each student needs. They keep it fun and engaging while teaching us the poses. I always feel challenged and supported in reaching for my goals.”

I can not say enough about this studio… The Owner, Manger, and staff are especially attentive and dedicated to the well being of their members to encourage, enlighten, and empower you. I come 30 minutes one way just to participate in this yoga sanctuary. The variety of classes cannot be compared as well as the expanded wellness services and lectures offered. Great price, great place to grow at your own pace.”
