I spent the first half my life as an elite gymnast, training most days of the week. When i felt things really start to fall into place, i was injured. After many months of rehab it dawned on me that my body could no longer keep up with the beautiful demands of the sport and sadly i quit. For many years i struggled to find myself again, confused as to what i should do with my life… I’d never thought about anything other than gymnastics. As the story goes i fell into a deep depression, turning to late nights, drugs, alcohol, anything that would reduce the anxiety that had taken over my life. I found yoga when i was about 17 and for the next few years it became a safe place for me to work out my struggles and embody the gymnast i once was. My practices ebbed and flowed, but it always remained there for me when i needed it. About a year ago , I found Ashtanga yoga. This practice although very new to me felt so familiar. With the blink of an eye it became apart of my everyday life, finally i found a structure in my life that supported me enough to get my feet back on the ground. Since then i’ve also begun my training in vedic meditation which completely changed my life. The balance of a physical and spiritual practice has allowed me to follow my dreams and create my own manifest reality. I’ve found myself deep diving into all things yoga, veda, taoism, chinese medicine, mediation and everything in between. And now, here, teaching as i go. Id love for you to join me on this journey with no particular destination, building a relationship together and with yourself.
