I am a freelance performer and teacher in New York City. I teach children and adults dance, yoga, and other mindfulness practices, as well as manage a yoga studio, help artists write grants and media campaigns, and- between it all- perform. I have presented workshops to other educators about mindfulness practices and cognition, and how imperative these skills are for human beings in general.
In my free time I usually read, run, write, take pictures, listen to music, and sometimes even sleep. I love going out dancing, seeing live music, going to poetry slams and honestly going to any place with a little character. I adore the outdoors and spend ample time in the sun whenever I can. I also really enjoy making my own kombucha and essential oil blends. I do like to cook.. but not sure if the ability matches the drive.
In general, I really love hearing stories, and other passionate people fascinate me. Regardless of what your interest is, if you're excited about it, I want to hear about it.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing because I love new experiences. New York is a great place for constant novelty, but I want to explore more places, meet more people, and learn as much as I can about this pale blue dot. I am addicted to learning new things, and am turning to other people places to get my fix.

Música, películas y libros

It's impossible to pick favorites for all of these things.
For a type of music, as there is so much good music in so many styles. The last few concerts I have been to have been a singer/songwriter show, a jazz trio, an indie rock show, and finally, a tech-house live set. All over the place.

My favorite movies are anything that completely wraps me up in the story, whether it is a comedy, an indie film, a romantic comedy, or an action movie. Some of my favorite movies are the matrix series, Grand Budapest Hotel, The Fall, Zootopia and The Little Prince.

As for books, I love reading about history, philosophy (Tao Te Ching, Bhagavad Gita), and fiction with good characters. I love David Mitchell (Cloud Atlas!), Ruth Ozeki (A Tale for the Time Being), and of course, good ol' Deepak Chopra (Quantum Healing!)

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I have a lot of information about health and wellness and am happy to share! I am very knowledgeable about the body and the brain and am happy to share anything I can. I am always interested in learning about anything and everything- 9 times out of 10 if you can talk about it, I can listen to it. I love hearing about people's passions- about what keeps them going each day and in which direction.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I am very neat and am happy to help cook, clean, and do some chores. I would love to swap stories, music, books, card tricks, dance moves, whatever. I am happy to answer any questions I can about dance, yoga, mindfulness, essential oils, clean eating, etc. and mostly anything else. Always happy to share a laugh.
