My wellness journey started because a friend who drank the yoga Kool-Aid convinced me to give it a try. I've come a long way from the military veteran who responded in macho bravdo, "stretching is what you do before you work out."

Yoga, meditation and adventure travel have become major aspects of my life. Pre-Covid I led groups and/or solo clients into the wilderness, up Mount Fuji and through various yoga/meditation practices. Post Covid? We'll see what happens.
