WHEN DID YOU BEGIN CULTIVATING YOUR PRACTICE?

2008.

WHEN DID YOU BEGIN HELPING OTHERS CULTIVATE THEIR PRACTICE?

I began teaching in May 2017.

HOW DO YOU ENVISION CULTIVATE YOGA SERVING OUR COMMUNITY? 

I see yoga touching peoples hearts and souls everywhere I teach. New faces and opportunities are constantly appearing before me every single day. I forsee Cultivate doing what a great yoga studio does best. That is spreading awareness of the practice and sharing these ancient teachings to help with the current state of mind in our culture and society. Cultivate will make an undeniable mark on our community for the betterment of all it comes in contact with. Peace, Love, and Yoga.

WHAT HAS YOGA HELPED TO CULTIVATE WITHIN YOU? 

Yoga has brought inner peace to my life. A quiet mind. A strong and flexible body, and deep levels of self awareness. Yoga has helped me with some depression and anxiety issues as well as helping me to cope with grief and loss. This is the most amazing tool i have ever used.

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

My family, spending time with my wife and kids. Creating artwork and working with my hands. Sunsets, and meditation. The moon. Mother Nature and all of the beauty that surrounds us.
