WHEN DID YOU BEGIN CULTIVATING YOUR PRACTICE?

 I began practicing yoga in 2019 — though looking back, the practice had been finding me long before I had a name for it.

WHEN DID YOU BEGIN HELPING OTHERS CULTIVATE THEIR PRACTICE?

I received my 200-hour teaching certification in January 2026 during a 21-day yoga immersion retreat — an experience that was equal parts rigorous and transformative.

HOW DO YOU ENVISION CULTIVATE YOGA SERVING OUR COMMUNITY?

By showing people there is more to yoga than asanas. The physical practice is a doorway — and I believe Cultivate has the vision and the community to help people walk all the way through it.

WHAT HAS YOGA HELPED TO CULTIVATE WITHIN YOU? 

Steadiness. Peace of mind. A deeper spiritual depth I didn't know I was looking for. Yoga gave me a foundation I can stand on no matter what's happening around me.

BESIDES YOGA, WHAT IS ONE THING THAT CULTIVATES JOY IN YOUR LIFE?

Connection — with others, with myself, and with the natural world. Helping people become more aware of who they are lights me up. So does spending extended time camping and being in nature, away from the noise.
