I grew up with an awkward relationship to my body. I was in my head a lot, fairly clumsy and wasn't so keen on exerting myself. I really wanted to fit in and learn American sports, but my gym teacher mostly taught ethnic sports and dance, and we rarely wore shoes, which I thought was weird. Now, in addition to yoga, I also practice karate.
When I started meditating 16 years ago, I constantly fidgeted. I became fascinated with the idea of embodiment, but it wasn't until 9 years ago when I started yoga and found my body that I connected the dots.
Drawing upon my graduate work in Culture Studies, I bring our embodied experience into a rich and relevant cultural context. I also work as a professional leadership and development coach and guide corporations and individuals to find balance, meaning and purpose.
I attribute my successes to simplicity, carefully chosen mentors, a healthy diet and a daily 20-minute nap.
