What do you most hope to share with your students at Tadasana?
I hope to share the ability to be with nature (on Earth Day) in our practice and use the elements to transform, and transcend all things negative into the absolute radiant you!
What is your favorite thing about Santa Monica?
I love the palm trees that look like fireworks in the sky, morning and night - there’s fireworks going on all the time.
What is your favorite mountain to climb?
I was going to try to be punny with saying something about the Himalaya’s…but I’ll say it like it is: I love Temescal Canyon.
