There's a particular quality of light that falls through cherry blossoms onto ancient stones—soft, fleeting, sacred. Komorebi is the Japanese word for this: light filtering through leaves. Last year when I returned home to Okinawa, I found it at the entrance of Nakijin Castle ruins. Looking back at this moment reminds me why Japan has always felt like coming home, even when I'm traveling through.

For years, Japan has been my gateway to India. Not just geographically, but energetically—a necessary pause, a recalibration, a gentle threshold between worlds. There's something about the Japanese reverence for nature and impermanence, that prepares me for the depths I seek in the Himalayas.

This February, I'm following that familiar path once more. Derek and I will spend time in Japan before I continue on to India to deepen my studies with Anand in the Himalayas. I'll be stepping away from teaching and work from now through March—a pause to go deeper, to listen more closely, to study at the feet of the mountains.

Sometimes the practice asks us to return to what we know so we can venture further into what we're still learning. Sometimes we have to go home to find our way forward.

I'll be sharing glimpses of this journey as it unfolds—from Japan to the Himalayas and back again. With gratitude for this path and for all of you who walk alongside it. 🌸🏔️

As a Tree-hugging Earth Lover and the Sustainability Ecologist at The Clearwater Collective, I'm always thinking about earth-friendly actions we can take in our everyday lives.

We just added 10 beautiful Cozumel Mexican blankets for our classes, and I'm excited to share that they're all made from recycled and reclaimed fibers! 🌿

In the same spirit, all the instruments I use for Sound Bath Meditations are second-hand (or third... or fourth!), and Derek even crafted our chime stand from scrap wood.

So what is sustainability? Simply put, it's meeting our present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs. But of course, it's a much more nuanced conversation than that.

Sustain Ability / Ability to Sustain

Here's what I know for sure: we're not perfect, and that's okay. What matters is that we keep showing up, keep learning, and keep doing our best for this beautiful planet we call home.

Every small action counts. 💚

Let's talk about KRIYA (the missing piece in most chakra work) 🌟 Click to learn what kriya is and why it's essential for real chakra balancing →

You've probably heard of chakras. But have you heard of kriya?

Kriya = intentional energy work. The practices that actually MOVE energy through your system.

Here's the thing: Your chakras aren't just colorful wheels you visualize. They're energetic centers that process your life experience - emotions, thoughts, trauma, joy, all of it.

When energy becomes imbalanced (and it WILL become imbalanced), you feel it in specific ways - anxiety, creative blocks, powerlessness, closed heart, swallowed truth, disconnection, lack of purpose.

Visualization and affirmations help.
But they're not enough.

You need practices that move energy on a SOMATIC level.

That's where kriya comes in.

Kriya practices include specific breath patterns, sound vibrations, movement sequences, energy locks, and meditation techniques that create real shifts in your energy body.

I studied these practices with Master Yogis in Rishikesh. I've practiced them for 17 years. I've witnessed the profound shifts they create - in my own system and in my students.

And that's what I teach in Breath and Beyond.

Not just "here's what the sacral chakra means."
But "here's HOW to balance sacral imbalances using breath, sound, and somatic awareness."

Not just theory. PRACTICE.

The kind of practice that creates real, lasting change in your energy body.

⏰ Course enrollment: 50% off through Wednesday midnight

My Yoga Roots

I first experienced yoga as a young lieutenant in the U.S. Army. Some fellow officers introduced me to P90x YogaX, a power vinyasa flow class, as a way to balance our intense physical training. I loved every moment of it. The stretches challenged my body, and yet simultaneously soothed my tired muscles. Living the military lifestyle required frequent moves, and with each move came a new yoga studio and new teacher. All of my teachers have inspired me with their different perspectives and techniques. Unfortunately, since then I sustained multiple back injuries and now live with chronic back pain+mobility issues. Yoga is no longer just a cool, dynamic workout, but a personal necessity. My yoga practice brings me both joy and relief from my pain.

After practicing for over 10 years, I chose to follow in the footsteps of the great yogis and yoginis by studying at yoga ashrams in Rishikesh, India- the Yoga Capital of the World. Nestled in the foothills of the mighty Himalayas on the banks of the River Ganges, Rishikesh is the birthplace of the art and practice of Yoga itself. In 2018, I received my 200 hour certification with Yogi Sanjeev Semwal at Rishikesh YTTC. Most recently I attended Sattva Yoga Academy, completed my 500 hours of teacher training, and studied under the infinite well of knowledge and incredible being that is Master Yoga Teacher Anand Mehrotra. Sattva Yoga is a holistic, integrative, and deeply transformative practice stemming from the Vedantic and Ta***ic traditions of the Himalayas. Sattva integrates wisdom, meditation, breath work, Kundalini & Kriya Yoga, healing sound, free movement and Hatha Yoga asanas to open the mind and heart inviting bliss, liberation and freedom on every level of existence. Sattva is a very powerful practice and I am incredibly honored to bring these practices to the Clearwater Valley in Idaho through my classes, workshops, retreats, and private yoga sessions.
