Drawn to metaphysical and esoteric studies as well as holistic practices from the teenage years, I was decades ahead of mainstream information in areas of nutrition and wellness.  I was once told by the Vedic astrologer, Chakrapani, that I was drawn to anything and everything holistic.

 

I came to yoga, specifically Svaroopa® yoga at its original home in La Jolla, California  in 1996 on the recommendation of a friend to relieve a pain in my hip. The pain went away, and I stayed.  The teachings from the ancient texts upon which Svaroopa® yoga is based, fulfilled a very long yearning and searching through many areas of study for something more.  They brought together all the other disciplines that I had either worked in or studied to that point. I have always looked for common denominators, universals that are true for all.  A few years before finding yoga, I was seeking direction for my life and was told to find my essence and express it in a tangible way.  At that time, I had no idea what that meant.  During my teacher training in 1997, the earlier message became very clear.  The teachings and practice of Svaroopa® yoga helped me find the essence inside that is the universal, the common denominator for all. Teaching has allowed me to share the principles of this truth with others in a tangible way.  I have been teaching since 1999 and am a certified Svaroopa® Yoga teacher (CSYT), a certified yoga therapist  (C-IAYT) and registered with Yoga Alliance (ERYT-500).  I have also been trained to teach meditation.

There is always more to learn. The continuing study of higher consciousness and personal development brought me to Dr. Sue Morter and the Energy Codes.  Morter Institute’s work in bio-energetics and the study of spirituality and quantum physics ignited a  desire for a deeper study into health, healing and human potential.  Continued work led me to become a certified Bio Energetic Synchronization Technique Practitioner and a certified Spiritual Bio Energetic Synchronization Technique practitioner, as well as a certified BodyAwake yoga teacher.
