Wellness Courses & Certifications
After growing out of my twenty-something macho cynicism, I became a total wellness nerd. I did my first 200hr YTT with Tara Stiles in 2011 and joined the 1st team of teachers at Strala in SoHo, NYC. Yoga, tai-chi, meditation, and "wellness adventures," have become big parts of my life since.
