I am a Lead Kundalini Yoga Teacher Trainer and have taught Kundalini Yoga since 1999. I created The Wellness Path, which offers Kundalini programs and events in the Toronto and surrounding communities including: Level 1 and Level 2 training programs, sacred chant concerts for Snatam and many other 3HO artists, and various workshops and trainings held by guest teachers. I'm willing (and excited) to help develop and facilitate Level 1 and Level 2 training programs wherever there is a need. I also mentor with Sat Dharam Kaur in her Beyond Addiction: The Yogic Path to Recovery training program. I’ve co-facilitated this program locally, regionally and internationally, and also teach Beyond Addiction classes and workshops in Toronto. I’m passionate about this work which deals with unwanted habitual patterns, addiction and trauma, and I certified as a Life Coach and Compassionate Inquiry practitioner to further assist clients in their process of recovery.
