JOURNEY
After a yoga retreat in Nicaragua in 2014, I realized how unhappy I was & yet how I felt stuck in a life that I didn't remember choosing. Yoga helped me reconnect with what I truly wanted & remember that I am free to create my life.
I went home & took my first yoga teacher training & I left a job & relationship that hadn't been working or aligned for some time. Throughout, I overcame many inner & outer obstacles in order to leave the societally & parentally approved path & to create the life of my dreams.
As such, out of a background of dabbling in marine biology, exercise physiology, zoology, microbiology, molecular biology, education, & wilderness therapy field guiding, yoga is the thing that has stuck.
It brings me more peace, contentment, & joy everyday and continues to help me expand what I think is possible & realize my potential—& this is what I wish to share with others!
I love surfing, the speed of slow honey, a simple life lived mostly outdoors, life/self experiments, & learning daily as a constant student & explorer of life.
APPROACH
I aim not just to help people feel good when guided or to do impressive things on the mat, but to cultivate the self-awareness, self-love, discipline, tools, & resilience to regulate themselves in all situations & to (more impressive to me) ride the waves of life with greater grace, joy, & ease.
I love to bridge the gap between my Western & Eastern trainings & blend the physiological, psychological, & spiritual to empower people use the tools of yoga for more than fitness, but to enhance their lives & realize their unique potential.
