Summary

My journey as a Certified Bikram Yoga Teacher began in 2008 in Acapulco, Mexico, and I've since re certified twice, once in Brisbane, Australia, in 2010 and again in 2018 in Acapulco under Bikram Choudhury. Alongside my yoga journey, I've achieved accolades such as winning First Place in the 2007 Singapore Bikram Yoga Competition and representing Singapore in the International Yoga Asana Championships in 2008 and 2010. Complementing my passion for yoga, I hold a Bachelor of Science Degree in Industrial Engineering. Beyond yoga, I've gained valuable engineering and quality assurance experience, My diverse skill set and dedication to both yoga and professional development uniquely position me to contribute effectively as a team player.
