About your organizer

Sensitive and curious, and always ready for an adventure, often in search of beauty, special places in nature, and large bodies of water to submerge myself in. I am a yoga facilitator with a deep love for movement, whether that's creative vinyasa sequences, embodiment dance, animal movement, or arm balance play. I studied yoga in North Sumatra, Indonesia with Flying Elephant Yoga school (200h) and in Costa Rica with Authentic Movements (300h). I cannot wait to dance with you!
