I began this journey as an Artist, fully and completely that is all I did was create. Both of my degrees are in Fine Arts which provided the groundwork for how I teach now, helping people make connections with esoteric methodologies & concepts. The bridge though was the years I worked as a Full-Time Public School Teacher. This gave me the tools and experiences I needed to be able to really help others to learn these practices that were always so intuitive to me. I am constantly seeking out teachers to deepen my ability to bring practices like Yin Yoga, Meditation and Qi Gong to as many people around the world as possible. I love so much more than anything seeing how each student learns and what makes a new concept finally resonate with them. It is all about that for me, how can I meet each person where they are and bring more peace into their experience of their unique life.

Retreat Specialties

The student-centered approach to education is what is emphasized the most in our unique curriculum. We use a blend of premium visual content, materials designed in-house, projected lectures, printed Asana Cards and direct practice-based experience to create an immersion that suits all learning styles. With this very finely crafted experience we are able to rely on that structure to let us maintain a casual & fun time for all as we explore the experience of our unique bodies.

Teaching Specialties

A sincere wish and enthusiasm for students to grasp whatever it is we are studying. I am not teaching for me, I am teaching for you, if you don't get it, I want to help you find it.

What's your personal definition of what it means to thrive?

I believe this is it. This right now as it is, is thriving. We have so much power to define our experience in this life why would we put the value of such powerful words and language on things that are just out of reach, or beyond what is happening right now. If you learn to feel the thriving that is happening in you in this moment, that is all it needs to be.

Who do you look up to ? Who has helped you the most along your teacher / retreat leader journey?

Bernie Clark is a teacher who really inspires me as he feels very much like the embodiment of what he teaches. He has always been so generous in providing guidance on my teaching journey and showing a path to really being Taoist in a way, as a Yin Yoga teacher I find that so important. I also cite HH The Dalai Lama as a teacher despite never studying directly with him. I have attended various events, lectures and initiations but I feel my spirit has been guided so much by studying and implementing his teachings, I feel incredibly indebted. I list all of my teachers on my website as I am so grateful to them all but also everyone I have interacted with is my teachers and my students have taught me so much over the years as well. It is all so humbling and why I always feel necessary to give any merit from what I do to the benefit of all beings as there are just too many to be thankful for.
