Lasting change begins with awareness — yoga is the system that teaches you how to cultivate it.
Through yoga, we learn to pause, observe, and honestly recognize when something in our lives needs to shift. Facing the challenges you are experiencing is an essential step, but yoga guides you beyond simply managing symptoms. It provides the tools to look deeper—to identify the root causes beneath patterns of thought, behavior, and reaction.
This process of self-study, embodiment, and conscious action is what allows misalignment to become visible. From that place of clarity, change becomes intentional rather than reactive. Yoga supports you in reshaping how you relate to your mind, your thoughts, and your daily choices—creating changes that are not temporary, but sustainable.

Welcome to living a B.A.Y. Lifestyle… Incorporating yoga beyond the mat and into the way we live our and approach our entire lives!
After years of teaching over 7,000 hours of classes, and taking over 1,300 hours of training, I realized that many of these YTT (Yoga Teacher Training) programs failed to bring home the true essence and meaning of the practice of Yoga. In 2018, I was given an opportunity by the BAY Club organization in California to develop a program that would be comprehensive enough and unique to the BAY Club brand.
And so B.A.Y. (Beyond Asana Yoga) Lifestyle was born. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the program was not implemented by the BAY Clubs, and therefore became one of the staples of our lifestyle brand, joining our ELM coaching program to bring the philosophy and lifestyle of Yoga to people worldwide.
