Dru Yogi

I’ve been sharing my love for Dru Yoga for over 13 years—through weekly classes and wellbeing workshops that welcome every body and soul. It’s a practice that continues to heal me, and I’m honoured to pass it on.

Retreat Facilitator 

Creating soulful retreats is one of my greatest joys. These sacred spaces invite us to pause, realign, and remember what truly matters—through movement, nature, stillness, and deep connection.

Consciousness Mentor

Through SoulWork, the movement I co-founded with my soul sister Tash Cook, I support heart-led women—especially those in midlife—who are ready to stop resisting change and start evolving with more grace and clarity.

Curious Student

I give high priority to my personal practice and inner growth. I love learning from amazing teachers that keep me raising my standards

I really appreciate you for being here, wandering through these pages. I trust you got here for a wonderful reason and hope in any interaction we have, you find enormous value that leaves you with a big smile.

I have been sharing my passion and love for Dru Yoga with people of all ages in my weekly classes and wellbeing workshops for over a decade. After finishing my 300 hours Dru Yoga Teacher Training in 2012, I continue to expand my yoga knowledge and have finished a Dru Kids and Teens Teacher Training, a Dru Yoga Postgraduate Mastery Course and many yoga courses along the way.

I give high priority to my personal practice and inner growth, so you will always see me engaged with the latest mentoring programs, reading inspiring books and learning from amazing teachers and mentors that keep raising my standards.

A few years ago I was invited to share the gift of yoga and mindfulness with the inmates at the Melbourne Youth Justice Centre, and that experience awakened my calling to work with our youth. I am the mind and heart behind The Whole-Hearted Girl Program as well as The Teen Villa. I have done yoga with kids and teens in childcare centres, kindergartens, primary schools and high schools, as well as volunteering some of my time to support other youth programs.

In 2021 I was part of Peter Sage's Elite Mentorship Forum, a 6 months transformational program that rewires your subconscious and makes changes in all areas of your life at a cellular level. I loved it so much that early this year I got certified to be one of the few trainers in the world to facilitate this amazing experience.

I am originally from Mexico and moved to Melbourne with my husband Alex in 2005 leaving life as we knew it. We share our lives with our two daughters, Isabella (15) and Ivana (11) who bring joy and purpose to my life. They constantly push my buttons to make me aware of those areas I need to heal and work on myself. They also remind me every day that life is a beautiful blessing.

I look forward to getting to know and hearing your story too.

My Daily Intention

I am my lighthouse.

I naturally see the miracle in me, in life and in all beings.

I infuse with love everything that I touch with my presence today.

I consciously engage my soul and energy into experiences and opportunities that bring me joy, growth, abundance, that guide my spiritual path.

I adore the spectacular adventure this life is and honour the perfection in which everything is created.

I am strong, healthy and vibrant.

I am a devoted custodian of the new generations' world, light and greatness.

I am a lighthouse...
