Some of my first memories are laying on the couch in my father’s arms listening to him breath. I would picture his breath like a river flowing through his body, and eventually I started a silent game of seeing if my breath could link to his. Two rivers flowing at the same pace.

It was later in life, after he took his last breath, that I discovered the “river” I had always envisioned was also known as prana. That the act of intentional breathing was known as pranayama.

As I delved into yoga throughout my teen years and early twenties, I was met with these realizations over and over again.

Most things I know to be true, yoga knew first. Most questions I asked, yoga asked first. Most things I didn’t have words to describe, yoga did.

It was not until I became an LMT and immersed myself in the complexity and magic of the nervous system that I began to fully grasp the wisdom with the practice of yoga. Breath, mediation, movement, all aspects flowing towards a regulated nervous system. 5000 years of insight, cultivated from human experience rather than scientific experiments.

I originally had no intention of teaching, however after completing my 200hr YTT in Costa Rica I felt a longing to share what I had learned. Teaching yoga has given me a way to hold space for my community, delve into my creativity, and more importantly continue to grow and learn alongside those I am leading.

I won’t say that yoga has all of the answers, but rather that it acts a guide to tapping into wisdom we inherently already possess. It’s a portal to the magic we so often take for granted.

I am so excited to gain inspiration and insight while learning alongside you, and to hopefully help answer some questions along the way.
