Hi y'all. I'm a Denver native (I actually grew up around the corner from Sakala, and it's one of my favorite parts of practicing at Sakala). I am thrilled to connect with you! Certified as a yoga teacher in 2019 (200-hour), I added Yoga Nidra in 2022 (Nidra I/II, 60-hour), and it's truly my favorite yogic practice. I first found Yoga Nidra in 2008 during college and have struggled to find spaces offering the practice. Gratitude fills me to share the practice within the Sakala community.
Additionally, I've immersed myself in shamanic studies and am a practitioner of Mayan Cosmology and Spirituality with permission and recognition of the Mayans in the high mountains of Guatemala. The beauty lies in the interconnectedness of the two practices and how, through the practice, we foster expanded consciousness and inner peace.
I am excited to offer Yoga Nidra to the Sakala community on the 3rd Thursday of each month. As we come together as a community, we will seek balance for the entire being by integrating the day's Mayan energy, inviting its support for cosmic healing and rejuvenation. The synergy of Yoga Nidra and the practice of Mayan cosmology offers a profound invitation to deep healing. I am super excited to share this transformative fusion with you at Sakala. I can't wait to meet you on the mat!
