Yoga & Wellness

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 being the cliched military veteran who responded with macho bravado, "stretching is what I do before I work out." Yoga, meditation and adventure travel have become major aspects of my life and I've become very passionate about sharing it with people of all experience levels; free of the macho bravado.

Pre-Covid I led groups and/or solo travelers into the wilderness, up mountains/volcanos and through various yoga/meditation practices. Post Covid? We'll see what happens.
