I’m deeply immersed in the study of the human body. My background is in Neuroscience and Medicine. I studied for many years at the University of Washington, receiving a Bachelor’s in Neurobiology and then a Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree. I’m also the author of the book The Yoga Doctor,  through which I offer some of the knowledge I’ve gained to those who desire to practice yoga in a sustainable way.

I have found that the study of the human body can be a gateway into mediation and deeper contemplation. We’re wonderfully complex creatures, full of mysteries. To appreciate this fully is to experience the same senso of wonder that a sunset or an ocean can evoke. I will offer you my knowledge, in the spirit of wonder. You contain universes within yourself; would you like to dive in?

I believe that our embodiment is a gift. I did my first yoga teacher training with former Buddhist monk Seongyoon Lee of Yoon’s Yoga Bliss, and then became certified to teach yoga with Ali Valdez of Sattva Yoga. I’ve also become certified to teach yoga to kids with Liz Doyle of Little Friends Yoga, and to pregnant women and new mothers with Anne Phyfe Palmer of 8 Limbs Yoga. I’ve also completed tow multi-year programs, studying meditation (including techniques for teaching meditation classes, small groups and private meditation coaching sessions), with Dr. Lorin Roche and Camille Maurine, both celebrate authors and meditation guides. Through all of the practices, I unite body, mind, and spirit into the unified flow of life.

I love human connection. My 15-year-old daughter and my 17-year-old sone continually teach me more about curiosity and wonder. My relationships encourage me to dive in to that web of connection that unites us all. I frequently collaborate on retreats worldwide; I love to see what happens when people come together to unit their passions and experience into a new creation.

I celebrate life! You too? Let’s explore together.
