TEACHING VIBE
How would you describe your teaching flow?
I love vinyasa. I love teaching the Vedic's and history of yoga as well. My teaching style is very much linking the breath with the movement. Meditation in motion. The lessons we learn on the mat, I encourage my students to apply to their every day life. Yoga is primarily practiced off the mat. It is a lifestyle.
Music Preferences? What is always on your playlist? Favorite artist?
Love Deva Premal, Krishna Das, Trevor Hall, and if I'm feeling funky , boom box 😉
Tell us what brought you to yoga?
When I quit drinking , I started practicing yoga. It helped me a lot through the emotional stuff but then became the practice of my life. It literally saved my life.
What was your most memorable yoga experience?
Probably when I spend four months living in this one particular ashram in McLeod gang, India. Every morning I would wake and meditate in the middle of the Himalayan mountains. It was a wonderful couple months and every day was a perfect experience.
Any teacher shoutouts? Favorite yoga teacher?
Emma Spencer, the owner of Dragonfly Yoga. She is true to yoga-you can tell when someone's lifestyle is the practice and that is Emma! Her authentic and deep teachings are a rarity to find around here.
