I was born and raised in Toronto. I am married to Robert De Serres and have one son Jonathan who still lives in Toronto. Oh yes I also have one gorgeous black cat named -JAKE! I love cats!! Well actually all animals!!

I Moved to the beautiful Northumberland Hills ten years ago and settled in the little village of Colborne .Big changes for sure.!

I have retired twice from the Education field and was honored to devote most of my career as a Teacher for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing with the Toronto Catholic District School Board, and subsequently, with the Hastings and Prince Edward District School Board. as an Itinerant Teacher and Coordinator for Deaf and Hard of Hearing students. I always have felt that teaching was a vocation- a calling.

During my many years of personal yoga practice, I began to feel a calling to do more on my Yoga Journey. I have benefited personally from Yoga- physically, mentally, emotionally and yes spiritually too. I wanted to share that with you.

I love all kinds of Yoga but especially Hatha, Yin and Restorative. So I took my Yoga Teacher Training- RYT 200 in Cobourg with Helen Slade of Fusion Yoga and graduated in June 2020. I hope you will join me as we explore the many benefits of yoga together. Namaste!!
