From a young age, I have always been mature and self-aware.

My dad instilled in me the importance of education and fluency in English language as well as confidence and healthy self-esteem. My mom has raised me with her integrity, strong moral compass, and fondness for all things home; perhaps, that’s the reason why I find joy in transforming a “house” into a “home”. I am such a homebody and by choice and preference have been working online from home for years.

My husband is living proof that meeting a soulmate is real. He is my biggest support system and encourages me to follow my dreams. Due to the nature of his career (proud wife moment!!), we have been moving cities, countries, and continents every other year on average. On a daily basis, we feel grateful for these beautiful opportunities to discover new cultures and encounter wonderful people. All that creates precious memories in our hearts. And in turn, we always want to create a meaningful impact in the hearts of the local residents, who welcome us and let us call their country a second home.

Through the years, wherever we go, professionally, my focal point has been on both diving into health and well-being industries and contributing to non-profit sectors within the area: being in charge of Spa and F&B in a private country club; teaching hospitality programs in a university as an adjunct professor for less privileged local students with special needs; managing projects with a focus on education, community, and charity organizations, assisting the latter with volunteering, event planning, and fundraising for local orphanages.

In addition, my husband and I have also been evolving personally: adopting our doggy and reinforcing animal welfare; embracing an active and creative lifestyle with an emphasis on sports, arts, and various hobbies; becoming vegetarians; educating ourselves on nutrition and sustainability; and adding value to society.

All of the above have inspired to do some soul searching and connect the dots. My passion for yoga is beyond a physical practice. It’s what defines me: balance, inner peace, patience, fitness, mindfulness, and wellness. In an organic way, it combines both my core values and my career aspirations. Lifelong Learning. Caring. Sharing. Mentoring.

I enrolled in a world-renowned Yoga Alliance teacher training program, becoming an international certified registered yoga teacher, E-RYT 200. Since then, I have been teaching private classes and workshops. Growth is infinite and I strive to be the best version of myself. I commit to advancing as a teacher, as a learner, as a neighbor: sharing my proficiency, aiding those in need by donating to NGOs and NPOs, and coaching local women free of charge.

Now we live in Laos, a perfect spot “to practice what we preach”. Welcome to I.E.K. Yoga!!
