Practicing Hatha yoga since 1996 has truly changed my life. I’ve learned that it’s all about clearing out the impediments in the mind that get in the way of knowing that you can accomplish anything. We are perfect just the way we are. In yoga we can create a laboratory in our bodies and minds to work through life situations (e.g., resistance, challenge, love, anger, motivation). Witnessing my body and mind travel to its edges gives it a safe place to explore and mend. It is mainly at the edges where true transformation occurs. 

My background includes: Iyengar yoga, Vinyasa flow yoga, Ashtanga yoga, Anusara yoga, Bikram yoga, Pranayama meditation, Insight meditation. 

I’m currently pursuing my M.A. at California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco in the East-West Psychology program with a concentration in mind-body connections. 

Living a balanced personal and business life, I worship the ocean and surf every chance I get. I am the owner of R.E.L. Copywriting (http://relcopywriting.com) as a freelance copywriter and editor, and an avid poet at My Secret Innuendo™ (http://mysecretinnuendo.com).

See you on the mat… or in your favorite venue. I’m a strong believer in “living yoga” in your daily life no matter what activity your mind or body are practicing. It doesn’t matter where you are or what you’re wearing… :)
