For 25+ years I have been studying the human body. I believe that life is fundamentally meant to be experienced. The human body is the vehicle. I love it when different traditions come to the same universal truths. My path has led me to different traditions and modalities and I am grateful for all that was shared with me, and for the teachers who guided me.
