Hi I’m Desiree but you can call me Des or Desi. I consider myself the Bodega Cat of Yogamaya, always around or lingering closeby. My first passion in life is helping people which has manifested as a career of doing hair and more recently teaching yoga.
I had no awareness of the impact my practice had on myself until someone dear mentioned it. I knew it felt good and that’s all that mattered. When I’m not cutting hair, I’m running away to a beach or burying my nose in my yoga studies. I blend my other passions of recovery, chanting, reiki and laughter into my classes. I finished my 200hr at Yogamaya and currently working towards my 500hr.
