About this collection
My certification as a Level 1 Animal Flow instructor shifted how I approach the body, grounding my practice in functional strength and animal-inspired patterns rather than just static shapes. If you see an upcoming workshop or retreat listed here, it is designed to be a container for real connection and growth, whether we are exploring traditional yoga, arm balances, or the playful side of flow arts.
Movement is a path, not a destination. My journey as a student has been shaped by deep influences, from the philosophy shared by Prasad ji to the technical foundations of Animal Flow. When I announce a challenge or a workshop, it is an invitation to step onto that path with me.
Why I Create These Challenges
I host community challenges like my 10-day Arm Balance series because I know that showing up is the hardest part of any practice. It does not matter if you can hold the pose perfectly on day one. We focus on the 'try', the community support, and the small shifts in strength and stability along the way.
Retreats & Workshops
My retreats are designed to take us away from the city noise and into nature, often at a peaceful farm. We balance active sessions like Hatha and Acro Yoga with grounding practices like sound healing and stretch therapy. These events are about releasing physical and emotional blockages in a supportive space.
My Approach to Learning
I am always a student. Whether it is continuing education in movement science or exploring new modalities, I am committed to bringing fresh, safe, and effective practices to our sessions. If you are curious about a specific certification or want to join a future retreat, keep an eye on this space or reach out for details.
