WHO INSPIRES YOU

Currently, anyone who can fulfill my nerd-drive to grasp the science behind yoga. Two of my current mentors are my brilliant friend Jane Fryer who helped me dive deep into restorative yoga, and the woman who started the Restorative movement, Judith Lasater. I am also continually inspired by my own healing journey from Lyme Disease.

FAVORITE THING ABOUT TAHOE

Trees, mountains and water. I recently moved to Tahoe from Nosara, Costa Rica, and while they have opposing climates, they seem to possess the same nature derived, healing energy. I love being near water and there exist few bodies of water as inspiring and stunning as Tahoe.
