Beyond Research
As a university teacher and mentor in a research lab, I’m deeply attuned to the mental health challenges prevalent in our fast-paced world. Beyond research, I’m a RYT certified yoga teacher for more than a decade, aiming to foster community and collective healing. I believe that yoga is a shared journey towards greater balance and understanding, both physically and socially.
