Tina is a KPJAYI Authorized Level 2 Ashtanga yoga instructor. Her yoga journey began over a decade ago while being (happily) dragged by her father to local Jersey Shore hatha class and later registering for yoga courses in University. In 2012 at age 23, she took her first of now five trips to India to received her first 200-Hour teacher certificate. Following, she immediately began teaching around New Jersey, soon after moved to Montreal and taught at Le Studio de Yoga Wanderlust and McGill University, but at the same time was discovering a separate love, desire, and need for an Ashtanga practice.
In 2014 Tina and her husband relocated to Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, and took her first trip to the K. Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute in February of 2015. She has since been back in 2016, 2017, and 2018 to study with Sharath Jois who has now become her teacher and guru. Sharath gave Tina his blessing and Authorization on November 29th, 2017. Tina will continue to return study with Sharath for as long as possible, because she firmly believes that a teacher should never stop being a student. Tina runs a Mysore program in Abu Dhabi open to everyone.
Tina has taught workshops, retreats, teacher trainings, and private lessons all over the world, in countries including the US, Canada, UAE, Lebanon, Kuwait, Germany, Italy, Greece, Nicaragua, Thailand, The Netherlands, and Indonesia.
