1)I am here because: yoga provides me with the opportunity to bring my thoughts into the present. It allows me to listen to my body in a way I don't often find myself doing in everyday life. Being a part of this community and practicing yoga is a way to bring that peace into my life.
2) 6 things I can't live without: ocean air, cast iron pans, foliage, woollen goods, kitchen table conversations, and self love.
3) My top three goals are: To live out my life on a beautiful farm, growing food and cultivating community, shearing sheep and spinning wool. To always remember that perspective shapes our experience, and that allowing positivity into your life will change everything. And to live as harmoniously as possible, with the earth, with other people, and with myself.
4)Ask me about: skateboarding, morel picking, hitchhiking across canada, seed saving, knitting.
5)I'm really good at: story telling, innovative cooking, and keeping myself happy.
6)Favourite:
Book: so many, but currently my number one is the Art of Fermentation by Sandor Katz Movie:Everything is Illuminated
Food: Blackberries from my Vancouver Island backyard and salmon- wild, caught by me, and raw. because I am a savage.
7)My most positive character trait, or maybe just my favourite one is my self discipline. I have proven to myself repeatedly that I can get through anything and still stay shining, that I can accomplish what I set out to do, and that ultimately I am in control of my circumstances.
My best experience in a yoga class was when: I think there must have been some serious stress coursing through my body, because one class when we were coming into the resting pose after bridge pose, where you bring your knees together and put your hands on your stomach and heart, I had the most incredible release. I always find that pose to be profoundly humbling and calming and delicious.
9) My favourite animal is: The albatross. They are majestic white sea birds with a vast wingspan and they never land. They just soar around over the ocean forever.
10) The most important thing I have ever learned in yoga is to be present. It is so lovely to be able to occupy your body and live in this moment.
