My family…<\/h2>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>
\n

I<\/span> come from Armonk, New York where I spent my first 18 years living with my parents and brother who I remain very close with.<\/p>\n

My father immigrated from Baku Azerbaijan (formally the Soviet Union) who married my mom a daughter of immigrant grandparents who grew up in Brooklyn, NY.<\/p>\n

We lived close to the woods where I spent a lot of my childhood communing with nature.<\/p>\n

Then I moved to Boston to study at Boston University followed by Harvard Extension (night school) and studied psychology and nutrition.<\/p>\n

I had a spiritual awakening when I had my astrological chart read and began to understand the interconnected nature of our life here on planet earth with the planets, nature and the electromagnetic vibratory interconnection of our beings.<\/p>\n

I began to deepen my understanding of spirituality and began studying yoga more intensely.\u00a0 I became a ski bum in Alta Utah, followed by being a beach bum on Martha\u2019s Vineyard, MA.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>
\n

Afterwards I discovered Kripalu Center For Yoga & Health and moved there for a three month program and stayed there for 6 years living a yogic lifestyle and deepened my yogic practice and studies while enjoying the ashram.<\/p>\n

I received many teachings there. I have always maintained a deeply spiritual connection in my life, I spent a few years with a Native American Medicine Family in South Dakota of the Lakota Tradition, years with indigenous peoples of Guatemala and I am deeply connected to India and both Yogic and Buddhist Teachings.<\/p>\n

I am a single mother with a daughter and stepdaughter whom I hold close to my heart. Motherhood has been a continuation of my devotion to the single most important aspect and practice of my life, love.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>

My philosophy of life…<\/h2>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>
\n

M<\/span>y personal spiritual practices, sharing my gifts through teaching, connection with nature, family and many incredible friends around the globe are the heart and loves of my life.<\/p>\n

These things bring depth, meaning and joy to my life. I believe in continuing to cultivate joy, in growing spiritually, in learning from life experience, in the practice of loving kindness and in the eightfold path of Yoga.<\/p>\n

This is how I choose to live my life.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>
