My Story
Where does it begin? This is a great starting point when we question the script and role as the character in our own personal narrative. To cut through the philosophical into the practical, it began while living in a desert during the freezing winter of Utah in 2008 for 5 weeks. On a journey, unpacking my dead emotional weight from a heavy burden of unresolved pain, it was here than I first began to let go and surrender. I remember a man, Tera Singh, a devout Sikh who was one of the wilderness therapists, lead a quick Kundalini Yoga demonstration. At this time, nothing registered. I was still absorbed in my own detachment, however, a seed had been laid unbeknownst to me. Fate and destiny intertwined, it wasn't until a few serendipitous occasions, that I found myself in New York at the Omega Institute during 2010. Known for it's rich display of various holistic modalities, I stumbled into a beginner Hatha Yoga class. With a smile on my face as I left the studio, it was here that I had my first glimpse of inside happiness. This is my message that I want to share with you.

Places of Study
I graduated with a B.A. in Sociology from the University of Georgia in 2013. Since then I've lived all over the US, traveled the world, and resided in Argentina, Turkey, and now China for years at a time. These visits and extended stays have been real-time classrooms that have broadened my social critique of patterns that exist globally. Learning languages like Turkish is a constant process that reflects my studies shaped through many different lenses. Yoga has been an anchor to root these experiences into a solid hard drive.

The Omega Institute. Rhinebeck, NY. 2010-2011. I studied with Anthony Ward, a visionary artist who combines Ikebana with a touch of psychedelia. Living within the Omega institute gave me the opportunity to study from a wide range of lectures and classes from the JIvamukti School of Yoga and Gleen Black, a prominent Senior Iyengar Yoga teacher. https://www.eomega.org

Mount Madonna Institute. Watsonville, CA. 2013-2014. The Yoga, Service, and Community I+II programs helped me understand the nature of Karma Yoga. Our actions affect not only ourselves but the whole environment. Selflessness through rightful action disengages our fixation on the 'doer', revealing the pure awareness that simply remains undivided from cause and effect, me and you, this and that. Baba Hari Dass, a monk in silence for over sixty years, still remains the inspiration behind MMI. He would use a chalkboard to answer questions from devotees while acting as a beacon of hope for those aspiring to reach higher levels of freedom. https://mountmadonna.org/
