Permaculture gardening is a sustainable method that mimics natural systems to create self-sustaining ecosystems. It emphasizes designing gardens that cater to both the local environment and human needs. The benefits of permaculture gardening are significant. It's low maintenance, encourages wildlife, and helps create harmonious, self-sustaining ecosystems. I have volunteered in multiple community gardens which bring people together in a very meaningful way which supports healing of the nervous system. I have also installed and maintained 3 permaculture gardens in the past three years on land which will become intentional communities.

Pranasana Yoga is a transformative 9-month training program beginning March 26, 2021, focused on energy work and self-realization rather than traditional yoga poses.

Overall, this training aims to empower individuals to live joyfully and confidently as their true selves, embracing mastery in everyday life.

Rebirthing breathwork is a focused breathing technique aimed at releasing tension, stress, and negative emotions, promoting healing from past traumas and fostering personal growth. Developed by Leonard Orr in the 1960s, this alternative therapy is believed to help individuals process blocked emotions, improve relationships, and enhance creativity. Sessions typically last 2 to 2.5 hours, with a recommendation of 10-12 sessions to experience significant benefits.

In this foundational training, I engaged in a deep personal practice of yoga and meditation, integrating traditional wellness practices with contemporary concepts from neuroscience and positive psychology. I explored the 9 principles of Personal Power and Wholeness, enhancing my leadership presence. The program focused on deepening my understanding of yoga and wellbeing, while also introducing the Rocksteady Principles of Dynamic Movement, which guided my application of yoga poses in vinyasa sequences. By the end of the training, I was equipped to competently teach dynamic vinyasa yoga classes, utilizing my knowledge to restore balance and manage energy effectively as a leader.
