Bringing Ancient Wisdom to Modern Life

Yoga: Movement as Medicine

Yoga serves as the movement pillar of the Three Wisdom Traditions, complementing meditation and Ayurveda to create a holistic approach to wellness.

More than physical exercise, yoga unites the body, mind, and spirit. It fosters balance, clarity, and resilience while promoting longevity, building vitality, and enhancing self-awareness.

I specialize in teaching classical Hatha, Tantra, and Restorative Yoga with a focus on alignment, breathwork, and mindful movement. My goal is to provide tools for growth, strength, and inner transformation.

Meditation: Awareness is the first step

“When the mind becomes still, the path becomes clear.”

Meditation helps quiet the mind to access inner clarity and wisdom. Rooted in the Yoga Sutras, meditation nurtures body, mind, and spirit while building resilience and deepening self-awareness.

Meditation offers benefits far beyond stress relief, improving sleep, reducing reactivity, and fostering emotional balance.

I offer two distinctive meditation practices:

  • Vishoka Meditation® - This Himalayan tradition takes a systematic approach to cultivating joy and mental clarity.

  • Yoga Nidra - Rod Stryker’s lineage offers deeply restorative guided meditations that enhance healing and awareness.

Ayurveda: The Science of Life

Ayurveda, “the science of life,” is a personalized, holistic path to health that has endured for more than 5,000 years. Rooted in India’s Vedic tradition, this system promotes balance, prevention, and the body’s ability to heal naturally.

Unlike a one-size-fits-all solution, Ayurveda is centered on your unique constitution (dosha). It provides individualized guidance on diet, routines, seasonal practices, herbs, and meditation to restore harmony and vitality.
