Being able to share this beautiful practice is such a privilege. Every class is a new opportunity to give and to connect. I treasure each yoga class I’m fortunate enough to teach, and for that I’m very grateful to all of you.Becoming a Yoga Teacher had been a dream of mine for several years while I was a group fitness instructor and yoga student. When I finally had the opportunity to train at Charleston Power Yoga, it completely changed my life, and since I graduated in April 2016, I haven’t looked back. My training was based on the Power Vinyasa Yoga teachings of Baron Baptiste. Although I have a deep passion for power yoga, I also really enjoy teaching students brand new to this practice and going with them through a path of discovery and empowerment.
All Kunga Journeys retreats and trainings are dedicated to educating the public about approaching yoga as a path of service. Our projects involve fundraising for Class-5 non-profits, which serve children, animals and the environment. Kunga Journeys programs provide hands on opportunities to volunteer with underserved communities. Some highlights of our service work since 2006 have included placing over 150 yoga teacher-trainees in underserved communities in the U.S, coordinating group volunteering with orphans from Rwanda, Jamaica, India & Thailand, and raising over $50,000 in funds and schooling for various local and international charities.
Flow Town was founded in February 2017 for our collective well-being through the yogi lifestyle. Flow Town is a continuation of the community already started two years before by Shine and Shout Yoga. We are a true community of yogis, open to participants of all ages, shapes, sizes, and abilities, who wish to deepen their understanding of yoga and healthy lifestyle practices.
