Yoga

Yoga, for me, is both a physical discipline and a way of paying attention.

My practice is rooted in traditional hatha and chakra-based yoga, but I’m equally interested in how strength, effort, and heat can coexist with softness and awareness.

I’m especially drawn to practices that integrate strength training with mindful movement, where building muscle doesn’t come at the cost of presence.

I practice yoga as a living system: sometimes slow and introspective, sometimes structured and athletic, often somewhere in between. What matters most to me is not the shape of the pose, but the quality of attention it cultivates.

Strength & Subtlety

I work at two ends of the yoga spectrum:

The Structure (Yoga Sculpt)

I combine strength training with yoga flow. I value the intensity, and I find the two complement each other: strength creates stability for deeper flexibility, while breath awareness makes effort more sustainable.

I believe in resistance training as a foundational practice. I use weights and strength drills to build physical resilience. A strong body supports a strong nervous system. And in my experience, a strong nervous system requires strong muscles to support it.

The Flow (Chakra Yoga)

Once that structure is built, I turn toward the subtle system. I use the chakra framework to work with specific energetic centers: from the grounding of the Root to the fluidity of the Sacral and the fire of the Solar Plexus.

My training is in chakra yoga, using the body’s energy centers as a map for practice. I’m drawn to how specific movements, breathwork, and focus points can shift not just the body, but mood, energy, and mental clarity. Whether that’s “real” in a scientific sense or simply a useful framework is something I continue to explore.

The goal

To build a body that can handle intensity and also settle into stillness.
