Struggling with stress, anxiety, or back tension? I’m here to help with a simple, effective practice that fits into any schedule.

One of my clients often says they don’t have time for yoga or meditation, so I created the 1-2-3 Method — a quick and easy program designed for busy lives. It combines three key elements to help your body, energy, and mind:

1️⃣ Breathing — to calm your nervous system and reduce stress
2️⃣ Three essential yoga movements — to release tension, improve flexibility, and ease back discomfort
3️⃣ Meditation — to clear your mind, promote relaxation, and improve focus

Once you’ve learned it, this practice takes just a few minutes a day. Perfect for those on the go!

Here’s my latest blog post on acupuncture for stress and anxiety. 🌿 Mental health is actually what got me into acupuncture in the first place. At a time when I thought I was losing it, acupuncture was what truly helped me find my way back. I had messed up my energy with the wrong yoga practices and pranayamas—maybe I'll write a blog post about that journey someday. It was wild.

I was deep in depression and anxiety—things got really bad. I tried everything and spent thousands trying to fix it. That’s when I met this incredible acupuncturist in London, and slowly but surely, acupuncture helped me get back to normal—and even better than before.

I’m excited to share my journey and will be adding more to this post over time. Keep an eye out for some helpful videos and breathing exercises I’ll be posting soon, especially for anyone struggling with stress and anxiety.

I feel so fortunate to have met my main teacher, Chögyal Namkhai Norbu, and to have had the opportunity to learn and teach Yantra Yoga, the Tibetan Yoga of Movement. His profound transmission of this ancient system has been a guiding light on my path. Grateful beyond words
