I have been practicing yoga and meditation since 2004 and teaching since 2015. I guide movement and embodied practice sessions that combine teachings from yoga, meditation, butoh, somatic psychology, and embodied philosophy as a means to explore self and society.

My practice is informed by training and mentorship with Lorin Roche (Meditation), Scott Lyons (somatic stress release), Ralph De La Rosa (meditation, internal family systems); Carlos Pomeda (Tantra), Mei Lai Swan (Trauma informed yoga); and Chris Wilson, Manoj Dias, Cassie Lee, Bess Prescott, Tahl Rinksy, and Rose Baudin (Yoga). 

Workshops

I teach a variety of workshops, including:

• Compassion during difficult times (loving kindness meditation, restorative yoga, and exercises)
• Holding on and letting go (Exploring the philosophy of practice and non-attachment through movement)
• Embodied writing (mindful and embodied writing for students, academics, and creatives)
• Embodied social justice (Exploring embodied oppression and social justice)
• Releasing stress (An introduction to somatic stress release and trauma-informed yoga)
• The leap of faith (exploring through storytelling, philosophy, and movement, with special attention to hanumanasana)
• Hope in the deep (exploring through storytelling, philosophy, and movement, with special attention to matseyandrasana)
• The beauty within (exploring through storytelling, philosophy, and movement with special attention to astavakravasana)

These workshops can be facilitated on their own as short, half day, or day-long workshops. I also offer versions of these workshops as part of courses on diversity and inclusion, social justice, and personal development through The Diversity Collective.

Private and small group sessions

I teach private and small group sessions in yoga, meditation, somatic stress release, and embodied writing online and in person.

Community

I believe that embodied practice and movement modalities should be accessible to everyone. I acknowledge that certain communities are underrepresented in the wellness industry, that embodied practices are political, and that bodies are politicised. As such, I’d like to create a safe space for all and encourage a diverse range of people to join me for practice.

If you are part of the BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ communities, experiencing financial difficulties, or just plain broke at the moment and you, your friends, or a group you are part of want to practice with me or attend any of my events, send me a message and I’ll see what I can do. I extend this invitation as someone who has been offered scholarships and opportunities myself, so don’t be shy!
