“Go within and find your inner sparkle! ~ turtle flo

I was introduced to yoga in 1999 through a corporate yoga class at a web design house I was working at in Venice, CA. After the first yoga practice, I felt so light that I felt like I could fly. Years later I went to Bryan Kest’s Power Yoga class to support a friend heal from a back/nerve pain. This led me to Bryan’s teacher training in Tulum, Mexico to deepen my practice and heal from a broken heart and depression. Not only did I find healing but joy & inner peace beyond imaginable. Most unexpectedly, many serendipities lead me to the 300hr Professional Teacher Training with Kia Miller at YogaWorks® and the path of a yoga instructor. Over the years many synchronicities & following my heart also lead me to become a Reiki Master Teacher and Art of Manifesting Method® Certified Facilitator. 

I love learning so I’m always a student first. Then I share from my own experience as well as the experience of those I share these experiences with.

Just remember to be patient and know that you are perfect as you are at this moment. We open our capacity to receive but we let go of perfectionism & attachment and focus on the process & gratitude. When we do that what you receive is often beyond what you even dreamed of. 

In addition to my online services I offer, my visions is to offer more in person workshops and retreats with various combination of yoga, reiki & art of manifesting method®. To travel and experience local culture through food, music, art, nature and animals with you would bring so much joy.
