OSBORNE
I became a yoga student in 2004. In 2017, I received my 200hr RYT certification to deepen my own personal practice. After a near-death experience that year, where I had lost the ability to use my body like before, I fell into a place where not only was my body in distress, but my mental health was also struggling. During that time, the connection to my breath was all I had. It got me through. It was a pivotal point for me, as breath meant hope. I found what it meant to have a deeper spiritual connection through yoga, through breath. After that, and with the help of Nick Zogg rehabbing me back physically, I completed We Thrive's immersion in 2019, and that's when I learned to teach. I had a fierce passion burning within me, a healthy body, and a strong mind. I became a teacher because I want to spread hope.
I got my 200 hour RYT in Bali, Indonesia where I studied Hatha, & Ashtanga Vinyasa. However, it wasn't until I discovered Baptiste Power yoga during my training at the We Thrive Immersion that I truly fell in love with the teaching.
Ultimately, I am a yes for empowerment. I try to guide and lead people through asana practice with the intention that it translates off the mat; powerfully.
I seek to create moving meditation and clarity on the mat, so that off the mat WE can be our best selves.
