Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am studying to be a yoga therapist and will be attending the International Association of Yoga Therapists conference in Phoenix over the summer solstice weekend. After this, I am making my way to see family near Vancouver BC. I thought it would be fun to take my time and see a bit of the country and meet people along the way.

I love the old yogic philosophy, Sanskrit and chanting.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like a variety of music, mostly alternative and world. Elijah and the rock creature is a good movie made by a local artist from Yellowknife Northwest Territories. I am reading a lot of yoga books right now; anything from the Mohan family is very good. I also recommend the Yamas and Niyamas by Deborah Adele. As far as fiction goes, Siddhartha by Herman Hesse is a classic and The Elegance of the Hedgehog is a good read, especially if you appreciate literary and artistic references.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I purchased a home 200 feet from the arctic ocean and lived there for 12 years.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love supporting local, i eat homegrown and locally sourced food and have recently got into foraging. I am a yoga teacher offer sound therapy with tuning forks.
