Yoga

“A spiritual practice is one that brings us full circle – not to a new self, but rather, back to the essence of our true selves.  Yoga is the practice of celebrating what is.”

Meditations from the Mat by Rolf Gates and Katrina Kenison

I have learned that the Western World focuses on the asanas (poses), and the ability to achieve the fullest expression of the desired effect.  Asanas are just a mere aspect of yoga.  To experience yoga is to experience divine freedom.

I hold a 200 YTT Certification from the Yoga Center of Carmel (Carmel-By-The-Sea, CA), and continued my journey at Yoga Liberty with a 200 YTT Prana Vinyasa Certification.  I recently completed my 300 YTT with Jason Crandell.

I have been blessed to attend workshops with Max Strom, Jamie Elmer, Carole Westerman, Judith Lassater, and Jason Crandall.
