Meditation
My yoga practice began in 2013 at the age of 16. I have since then dedicated myself to the exploration of my deeper questions, the meaning of life and world around me, the universe and its mysteries, and how I can heal and be of service to others.
2022-2024 I immersed myself in over 1200 hours of active meditation and yoga programs. Completed an 8 day silent-meditation program, Samyama, in the Spring of 2023. Lived in India in ashram dedicated to meditation practice and service for six months.
My meditation practice is a pillar in my day-to-day life and provides deep awareness, insight, and wisdom which I then take into every aspect of my life, including the work that I do.
