The Yogi by the Sea grew from a life shaped by teaching, yoga, travel, and parenthood. I’m an educator and yogi, parent of two young children, reflecting on a year of slow travel around the world as a family and on learning as a lifelong, embodied process that can only be experienced rather than simply intellectualized. My work weaves together pedagogy, nervous system care, recovery, and simple da
ily practices — from yoga, cold plunges, and forest jogging in minimalist shoes to music, mindful living, and education across cultures. I’m currently beginning a PhD in pedagogy, exploring further learning beyond classrooms and systems. Coming from a background marked by trauma and addiction, I’ve come to understand these experiences not as something to resist or erase, but as part of the path that has shaped my capacity for awareness, compassion, and healing. This space is inspired by teachers and thinkers who have guided me along the way — including Gabor Maté, Thich Nhat Hanh, Pema Chödrön, Ram Dass, Wayne Dyer, Bruce Lipton, and Joe Dispenza. If you’re drawn to growing beyond learning, yoga as a lifestyle beyond poses, and living with more presence and intention — you’re warmly welcome here 🌊
