My path as a facilitator has been shaped by years of listening to bodies, to life transitions, and to what people quietly need when they step away from their everyday roles.I have been teaching yoga since 2013.For the past four years, I have guided retreats and weekly classes at Esalen Institute.There, I share my signature offering, Moja Yoga.This practice grew organically from my own lived experience as a mother, space holder, and long-time teacher.It is slow, intuitive, and deeply somatic.The practice invites people to move in relationship with their nervous system rather than pushing past it.Much of my work centers on supporting women and mothers through seasons of change.These seasons include moments of expansion, tenderness, fatigue, creativity, and becoming.I am drawn to creating environments where people feel safe enough to soften.I value spaces where guests feel honest enough to slow down.I also prioritize support that allows people to rest without needing to explain themselves.The retreats I facilitate are intentionally spacious and deeply human.There is gentle structure through movement, somatic practices, and ritual.There is also room for quiet mornings, shared meals, laughter, reflection, and integration.I value depth without intensity.I value connection without pressure.I value experiences that feel nourishing rather than overwhelming.My intention is to offer a grounded and welcoming container.Within this space, guests can reconnect with themselves.They can feel held in community.They return home feeling steadier, more embodied, and deeply resourced.
