Sibyl’s Bio
I was lucky to find Jivamukti Yoga in NYC back in 1997, and have the honor of studying intimately with David Life and Sharon Gannon in their cozy east village studio. I knew from the start that yoga was for me. I took my practice with me during intense schedules as a fashion model and then as a touring musician, both of which careers allowed me to travel the world, and to gain perspective on my purpose here. In 2008, I moved from Brooklyn to Topanga Canyon with my partner and our daughter. Since then, I feel so honored to have been able to learn from incredible Los Angeles teachers; Annie Carpenter, Jasmine Lieb, Vinnie Marino, Lisa Walford, and so many others who rekindled my love for the daily practice. Inspired by the way my life transformed as I dove back into yoga, I completed the Yoga Works 200 hour teacher training and began teaching full-time. I’ve been humbled by how, when I turn to it, yoga works from the inside out to guide me on my path.
