About My Practices

Each of these sciences and methods share the importance of a deep connection with nature, its rhythms, and how human health is connected to the environment and all that it provides.

Yoga

Yoga is an ancient practice originating in India, which focuses on the union of body, mind, and spirit. Yoga translates to “Union.” Sessions combine movement with breath to bring balance to the energy of the body, and stillness to the mind to cultivate peace.

Permaculture

Permaculture stems from the words Permanent Agriculture and Culture. It is a design system that focuses on the observation of nature, while following guiding ethics and principles to help people create ecologically and socially sustainable ways of living.

Ayurveda

Ayurveda is a Sanskrit term, which means Science of Life. It is a natural approach to health, with a focus on bringing balance and harmony to life through daily routine, diet, and lifestyle choices. Ayurveda is the sister science to Yoga.
