YOGA TRAINING & WHOLISITC FITNESS TRAINING

Welcome to the other part of my professional life.

When I turned 6 years old, I was introduced to the ancient form of yoga.  My Norwegian gymnastics coach whom I started my training with was a self taught Scandinavian gymnastics champion, a vegan (before it was popular), a yoga master, and an acrobat.  Even if I was too young to fully understand what this pathway would open up in me later in life, it planted a seed early on.  

When I'm not singing, performing and producing ZumaSOL events, I teach yoga as well as organic fitness.     

I'm a firm believer that the body temple is a pathway to spiritual enlightenment.  THROUGH the body, we open up to larger awareness and freedom.  To look upon oneself as spiritual and ignore ones body is like using a table with two legs. 

I do NOT judge people who think they can attain "illumination" and still avoid their bodies, however the ones who bypass their bodies, and the tremendous wisdom and vehicle it is, are eluding themselves.  

It is NEVER too late to start addressing our bodies.  ANY movement is better than none.

There are many threats in this world to being an open channel, one of the most important ways to being an open channel, is to start training, moving, because without this element we have no true spirituality.  My father became brain damaged, he became wheel chair bound in his 50's, he did NOT stop training, if we can move one muscle, we can train.

I myself was crippled from an illness for over a decade, training and yoga helped bring me back into freedom.

To start from the most glaring top of the list industries that help create havoc on our bodies are:

The fast food industry, the sugar industry  & the pharmaceutical industry.  When you're body is numb, from foods and from medications, you can't be yourself.  Your light, your energy and your true emotions are boggled down by a ball and chain.

Why we avoid the body a lot of the time, is because it's going to give it to us straight.  It will confront us with our "issues", but remember, the body is not to be purely dictated to (avoiding feelings through obsessive training) but to be listened to as well.  COMMUNICATION.

I have taught for 17 years and my clientelle consists of everyone from celebrities, pro athletes, seniors, youth with addiction problems, house wives, poor, rich, healthy to ill, and ages from 12 - 93.  And one thing is common for all.  No matter how little or how much we have in this world, no matter how young or how old we are, holistic training and yoga enhances our lives! 100%.  And it is NEVER too late to start.  Easy does it...
