Meditation

 

My yoga practice began in 2013 at the age of 16. I have since then dedicated years of my life 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. In the last 2 years, I have immersed myself in over 1200 hours of active meditation and yoga programs. I also sat for an 8 day silent-meditation program in the Spring of 2023 (which required a 4 month preparation period of spiritual practice and diet).

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.

IN TRAINING
