I am a long time yoga practitioner, and also a yoga teacher and yoga therapist (RYT-500, C-IAYT). Yoga philosophy has been an extremely helpful anchor in navigating whatever changes, joys, and losses I have encountered since yoga came into my life. You will find that I rely heavily on the Yoga Sutras and other great works that are helping me steer the ship of my own aging process. I don’t shy away from any sources of wisdom — religious, philosophic, scientific, comic, or otherwise.
Since I am a poet, I will share some of my poetry with you. I hope it brings more heart to our discussion and helps us to avoid treating complex problems as narrow intellectual squabbles. Find more of my poetry here.
I received my yoga teacher and yoga therapist training from the exceptional teachers at the International SomaYoga Institute in Duluth, MN. SomaYoga combines the traditional teachings of yoga with Hanna somatics (a therapeutic movement practice). I teach SomaYoga and you will find my classes focus on restorative and therapeutic practices. Please see my current teaching schedule for ways to practice with me.
So, welcome. I am so glad you have found this space. I look forward to what we learn together.
