Yoga
“Humans crave both depth and height“
A Way….
Sometimes we begin upon the path without even realizing. I became fascinated in occult knowledge and esoterica from a young age. This rabbit-hole, of course, lead to the path of yoga and the ancient texts from which the powerful holistic science emanates. Glimpsing into incredible epics like the Mahabharata, reading The Vedic texts and contemplating on the sutras of Patanjali can have profound impacts on the journey of the mind. It wasn’t until I began committing fully to the yogic path that I came to understand that my aspiration started long before my awareness had developed. Now, as I mature and blossom toward The Light with a much more succinct direction, I am able to reflect on the experiences of past, and unify them with intentions for the future, thus creating a vibrant environment for calm and peaceful enjoyment of the present. Anything and everything we do can have a ‘yogic’ quality or principle applied to, or appreciated within it. Essentially, yoga is about Unity, predominantly with oneself, but also our surroundings, and a divine connection to something greater than ‘I’. As an aspirant, we become conscious of the ‘choice’ we have to make in this carnation, so that we can utilize our uniqueness to apply brilliance and grace toward the common good, as we navigate the One Path that crosses many, with pleasure and light-heartedness.
Yoga is innately healing. Through consistent practice Yoga becomes a vessel of evolution.

Alongside thousands of hours of practice, I have currently achieved 500 certified hours of official Yoga Teacher Training including Mysore Style Ashtanga and traditional Hatha, with intentions to complete many more. I love experiencing the different methods and expressions schools adopt, creating their own syllabus and interpretations of the yoga experience. Yoga is intrinsically adaptive as it promotes awareness at the core foundation of understanding. Learning how to become flexible in both body and mind, through the challenges of the practice, encourages a more stable spirit and allows creative life-force to flow through us.
I am now able to weave together multiple holistic disciplines and arts of multi-elemental foundation to create fun and effective strategies to help in the path of Self-Transformation. Let it be known that, despite any Guru, God or Guardian, YOU are the soul-bearer of your destiny, and how YOU live-out your precious time in this realm is completely in YOUR control. Sometimes we can just forget that we’re at the wheel of this ride.
In our increasingly online world, Yoga has adapted by becoming digitalized and re-packaged in the form of videos, apps, zoom sessions, e-books + manuals, even full teacher training programs available at the comfort of the home. This all serves to increase the spread and influence of yoga across the planet, becoming more accessible than ever before! May technology benefit us with the freedom of time and energy to become more complete, wholesome and abundant in our reality here.
The world IS changing, constantly. As we experience the inevitable crumbling of old obsolete social systems and structures, being eroded by the winds and waters of great spiritual motion, I am reminded of a beautiful sentiment that has grounded and soothed me many times before, and I’m sure will many more times to come:
‘Blessed are the cracked, for we let in the light’

May you be full of joy and wonder.
Namaste.

YOGA TECHNICAL TRAINING COURSE – 10/20/30/40/50hrs

SOUND HEALING / NĀDA YOGA
You may have heard about Sound Healing, it’s becoming quite popular! This is probably because it is a very effective medium for healing, peace of mind, pain relief and meditation. There is more to it than just ringing some singing bowls, so take a dive into the wonderful world of Nāda Yoga – The Yoga of Sound & Vibration.
HANDSTANDS & INVERSIONS
As a professional acrobat it’s an absolute basic requirement to have a solid handstand! In yoga the handstand is known as Adho Mukha Vrksasana, inverted tree pose, and provides tremendous benefits across the entire spectrum. Alongside the obvious benefits to the upper body, core, circulation, and balance, learning such feats of physical prowess give us a great boost in confidence to achieve more.
ASTROLOGY
In order to expand our consciousness we must first understand what we are expanding from. “Just be yourself!” might be something you’ve heard before, but how exactly do we do that? What is it that makes you, you? Vedic knowledge begins with astrology, the ancient science: psychology by the stars. Understanding why we are the way we are can give tremendous relief from confusion and can help us move forward with confidence and intention. Even without taking specific detail upon an individual, the vast breadth of the astrological knowledge can empower you to think beyond present limitation.
URBAN TANTRA
Conscious expansion for the Digital Age! It can be difficult to reach attainment in the confines of the Big City. There are many obstacles to overcome, distractions & dangers to address, and the continual grind & hustle to navigate. It’s not always so easy to up and leave a city (which is my top recommendation for any seeker), especially when we have responsibilities to jobs and family. With Urban Tantra our objective is to utilize whatever we have available to us to grow beyond the limitations we face from the concrete jungle.
KUNDALINI TANTRA TTC (15hrs Technical Training Course)
Kundalini Tantra is the inevitable progression of sincere and thorough Hatha Yoga practice. You can consider ‘kundalini’ as a biological process that occurs in the body which facilitates the evolution of our consciousness. We are able to use Pranayama techniques such as breath retention (Kumbhaka), compressions of the body (Bandha) and meditation (Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana) to induce states of bliss and euphoria. These sensations are not superficial and are the consequence of the presence of powerful cosmic energy pervading the multiple layers of our physical and etheric bodies.
