about myself

I hold a Bachelor’s of Science degree from Colorado State University in Global Tourism with a minor in Spanish, but what I really learned began after Covid reset all of our lives.

In January of 2021 I attended a free talk on the chakras at Pyramid Yoga Center in Koh Phangan, Thailand (https://pyramidyoga.com/) and this led immediately into attending the 500 hour Master Program taught by the founder of Pyramid, David Goulet. There I learned all about the science of yoga, with asanas (what we typically think of as yoga) only being one eighth of the overall science that yoga actually is. This truly immersive 2 month program is an intense exploration into this reality through the mind, learning to observe our thoughts and behavior patterns and not allowing them to control us as we in the Western world have allowed for our whole lives.

In July of 2021 my partner and I moved up to Pyramid to volunteer our time and effort to running this yoga center which ranged a large variety of responsibilties. On the front end, I taught and hosted weekly Chakra Yoga classes, breathwork, meditations, sound healing, mantra chanting, Qi Gong, & DJing Yoga Dance events. On the back end I learned all the ins and outs of running a retreat center from managing the weekly schedule and the hosts as well as social media posting, making sure the bungalows and yoga shalas were clean and helping to fill them with guests, organzing other volunteers, and finally helping to coordinate and run the following 500 hour Master Program which began in October of 2021. During that time I had the pleasure of also teaching a variety of classes and deepening my practices along the way.

During this time I was also able to deeply connect with sound healing through weekly crystal singing bowl sessions with my friend Michelle, weekly Mongolian throat (overtones) singing sessions with my friend Tez and I immersed myself in a deep study of sound and vibration through a sound therapy foundations course (https://www.facebook.com/purenatureyoga/) and many books by authors such as Eileen Day McKusick (https://www.biofieldtuning.com/), Jonathan Goldman (https://www.healingsounds.com/), and Dr Joe Dispenza (https://drjoedispenza.com/) to name a few. I also dove deeper into further esoteric studies of pranic healing (https://pranichealing.com/about-us/mcks-founder) through Grand Master Choa Kok Sui which I now practice as a way to sense and cleanse other people’s energies. Here is a very short and useful introduction video on Pranic Healing if you’d like to learn more and I will write a post about it in my blogs section.

The year that I spent living and breathing yoga at Pyramid was a deeply immersive experience which profoundly changed how I think and feel by setting me on the yogic path of inner peace and wisdom by learning about the energetic reality we live in.

Continuing on the yogic path, I eventually moved to Rishikesh, India in August of 2023 where I met my Guru after only being there for a day. If my time in Thailand was equatable to high school, then my immersive 6 week study with Guruji would be likened to graduate university study. My time with Guruji helped me to further connect all the pieces of everything I learned previously with an emphasis on mantra, meditation, & how to truly live presently through conscious awareness, moment by moment.

I now have taken everything I’ve learned and have dedicated myself to sharing this knowledge and experience with others, whether that’s through the blogs I’ve posted here or more in depth personal experiences through (online or in person) Chakra Yoga classes, sound healing, energy cleansing, meditations, breathwork (Pranayama), or any other way I can help my fellow Brothers & Sisters to experience Joy & Bliss through connecting to their own Divine Consciousness within themselves. I have seen and felt the light within and it is my path to help others experience this for themselves. Namaste.
