Welcome

I have always been a seeker.  Looking for things to learn, to experience and to grow from. Formal study in school, travel, karate, running marathons, cooking, you name it… I love to do it. But the practice that has brought the most balance and fullness to my life has been yoga.  This is where I can process what I’m taking in.  Still being open to new experiences but better recognizing what might not serve me.  Allowing for a sense of peace but not emptiness.  A joy and passion for life that keeps me exploring and expanding myself throughout different chapters of my journey.  

Most people think that once we hit a certain age most things will bet set for us.  Career, where we live, the people in our lives.  I believe that to continue having an abundant life we need to keep looking for new experiences and get out of our comfort zone just as we did when we were younger.  That doesn’t mean not putting down any roots or enjoying the security we can build for ourselves over time.  It just means we may need to be a little more creative so that we don’t fall into autopilot and let 10 years pass almost without noticing.  We need to remember that we still can make big changes in our lives.  Its never too late! 

This life that we get to live is precious.  It doesn’t come with an instruction manual and it certainly can be hard. This is what is really exciting about it!  While I feel that there isn’t one way to live our lives I do believe that the prescription for a good life is the same:  Learning about yourself, defining your values and who you want to be in the world can lead you to the life you want to live.  Defining my long held values (refining some as well) and working through the 8 limbs of yoga has helped me to strengthen the things that are most important to me in life.  Building on my study of western philosophy, the practice of yoga has allowed me to refine and expand my view of what is possible.  This has been such a gift for me and is one I am passionate about sharing.  Whether in a yoga asana class, meditation session, or over coffee, I am ready to explore with you!
