I am a yoga therapist (C-IAYT) & meditation teacher (RYT500hr) who specializes in guiding gentle yoga as a form of meditation-in-motion, and coaches meditation as an integrative practice for body, mind, heart, and spirit. I bring training and experience from both monastic and contemporary approaches, having spent five years living and practicing as a Buddhist monk, and now helping to evolve the language of meditation to benefit modern meditators and teachers. When I’m not working with cancer or chronic pain patients, or coaching private clients, I find myself creating art – pottery, poetry, and painting. I live in Sonoma County, CA.
