WHEN DID YOU BEGIN CULTIVATING YOUR PRACTICE?

2010.

WHEN DID YOU BEGIN HELPING OTHERS CULTIVATE THEIR PRACTICE?

As a teacher, in 2019. 

HOW DO YOU ENVISION CULTIVATE YOGA SERVING OUR COMMUNITY?

I want yoga to be accessible and appealing to all. I believe Cultivate is and can grow into a strong force for that. I also would love to see this include more yoga for people of all ages (kids, seniors), pregnant people, postpartum folks, and people of varying identities and abilities.

WHAT HAS YOGA HELPED TO CULTIVATE WITHIN YOU? 

Yoga broke me open and brought me home to myself, and to the earth mother. It’s taken me to the deepest depths and highest heights. Yoga showed me that we are all one, and after starting yoga I began to know the truth, and was able to stop ignoring it, that i needed to stop eating my siblings, non human animals. It opened me up to the basis of how i live my life and see the world as an ethical vegan. Practicing the 8 limbs of yoga allows me to see and live my values. It brings me great joy and ease in my body. It has allowed me to cultivate my intuition, love for myself and all beings. 

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

My daughter, art, connecting with others on a soul level, chocolate, being naked in a large body of water, being present for births.
