Office Hours are held on Wednesday mornings.
If you have a desire to learn a bit more about "yoga" than just asana, or are looking for private tuition, my Office Hours offer you an opportunity to go a little deeper into your own study and practices. You'll get one-on-one advice and guidance from someone who's been intentionally walking a yoga-influenced spiritual path for over three decades.
I'll draw not only from my own nuanced and profound experiences as a Mysore-style teacher of close to 15 years, and Ashtanga practitioner of over 23 years, but also my lifelong scholarship and study of a wide variety of transformative, spiritual, insightful, challenging, edifying writing and thought, which I've earnestly processed and integrated along my journey.
During Office Hours (an idea I have borrowed from my friend and fellow teacher, Ekabhumi Ellik, who is an amazing sacred artist and anti-racist activist from California) students can ask questions and seek guidance from me for a variety of needs, from asana practice tips, to questions on dealing with injury, aging and illness in one's yoga practice, to sensible daily Ayurvedic self care practices - and especially, to resources and reading lists that will enlighten and inform.
From our conversations, I'll can help curate a path of growth and self inquiry for curious students, rooted in yoga practices, Ayurveda and Eastern spirituality, with practical strategies and practices tailored for your needs - not only through recommendations of books, spiritual texts, authors and essays, but also pointing students towards podcasts, art, music - and especially, other teachers and experts I know from my decades in the yoga world who can serve as resources for your journey.
I'll especially focus my curatorial services on guiding students towards talented BIPOC/LBGTQ writers, teachers and leaders.
My goal with Office Hours is to serve you directly, with wisdom and empathy, helping all of us collectively move beyond our current state of flux - that is imbued with much dissension and fear - into one of grounded, wise, empathic, harmonious coexistence. Because I've always sought not just to teach yoga, but to serve. Service has always furthered my own self-actualization and empathy.
I'm excited to offer you personalized, mindful, embodied service on an individual basis, to help foster a radical, compassionate shift and change in our consensus reality. May we move from separation to wholeness, and may we alleviate suffering and increase abundance and joy together!
FREE sessions will be booked in 30 minute increments. If you need more time than 30 minutes, or wish to schedule a private yoga session of 60-90 minutes, or would like to meet regularly for ongoing guidance, I appreciate payment along a sliding scale, ranging from $10-$30 per half hour, according to your financial ability.
Next Office Hours are booking on the following Wednesdays:
October 7, 14 or 21. If Wednesdays don't work, please email me!
