Her desire to grow led her to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Science (Biology) and a Master’s degree in Sociology. In 2010, she further enhanced her knowledge by taking an “Advanced Anatomy and Physiology” course, which helped her understand the intersection between the study of life, society, and yoga.

Life is truly about working towards our goals while accepting our true selves and allowing them to blossom.
