About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live simply and enjoy life to the fullest by starting each day with yoga and living in the moment.
I am originally from Wisconsin in the USA and have lived/worked in Alaska, Calif,Japan, Mexico. I learned many wonderful things like tea ceremony, shiatsu, hammock swinging and yoga. After many trips to India to learn with old yoga masters, I now enjoy sharing yoga with anyone interested.

In Alaska worked as a fisher, painter, tour guide mostly in the summer months. After many years of study somehow i got a degree in Geography from UW Madison, but mainly use it to travel. Mexico, Cuba and Guatemala have been my wintering grounds for some years. I seem to learn more from situations and people I meet. Life is too mysterious so why take it so serious! I often am laughing at myself for the things I do and think.........

PHILOSOPHY
