It’s one close to home, one close to our hearts.

“In late 2021 I fell ill. I was about to embark on the greatest lesson in life. After endless tests it was discovered I was sick with Endo-carditis, a bacterial infection that affects your heart. The news was devastating. On March 31st, 2022, I underwent open heart surgery to replace my Aortic Valve.

My hours in the hospital were filled with quiet

It was really a time to meditate, back to the beginning of my journey. I had the support of my loved ones around me, which I am forever grateful for. But without all the countless hours of my yoga training and studies,practices, and teachings I may not have made it through
