About
What started as a fitness journey, my yoga story quickly morphed into a way for me to build community.
Born and raised in San Francisco by my Armenian mother and Jewish father, I was taught to value culture and community at a young age. It was around this time that I also began playing sports. So it is through sport and heritage that I am based.
I carried my sports career through college and graduated having been a 4-year member of the varsity lightweight rowing team. Upon moving to Southern California for work, I found myself looking to fill the community and athletic void that school and rowing left behind. I hadn’t been looking for yoga, but it quickly dominated my self-care routine. I began making friends with other studio goers, creating lasting friendships I’ve carried with me even after relocating to San Francisco.
After moving back to San Francisco and rehabing a running injury, I delved back into yoga. Once again I found myself falling in love with its dynamic nature. After just a short period of time I saw the positive effects of a habitual practice and enrolled in my first teacher training, the rest is history...
When the pandemic shutdown the yoga studio I was working for, along with the rest of the world, I too pivoted virtual. Today I am 200hr-RYT with a dual certification in yoga sculpt. I teach Power Yoga and Fusion Yoga with 100% of public class proceeds donated to Kooyrigs, a women-led organization providing humanitarian aid to displaced refugees in Armenia.
