The Medicine Buddha
The Medicine Buddha is not approached here as a religious figure, but as a living frequency of healing, balance, and remembrance. The mantra
Theyatha Om Bekandze Bekandze Maha Bekandze Randza Samudgate Soha
is a sound formula that works directly on the body and mind, not through belief, but through resonance.
This mantra is traditionally associated with the easing of suffering, the restoration of harmony, and the awakening of the healer within. When repeated or received in a meditative state, it supports the release of stored tension and the reorganization of the system into coherence.

Choosing Myself: A story about coming home to my heart
If something inside you is stirring
if a part of you is tired of carrying guilt, shame, regret

or simply trying to remember who you are beneath the noise

Hatha Yoga: The Art of Being with the Body
This is the first post in my new blog series on Hatha Yoga.
In the weeks ahead, I will share the deeper meaning behind foundational postures — how they align energy, open the body, and mirror the lessons of life. We will explore asanas like Tadasana, Virabhadrasana, Balasana, and more, not just in form, but in spirit.
I offer weekly Hatha Yoga classes where we slow down and sit inside the wisdom of the body.

My home space — soft light, open sky, and a community that breathes together like one heart
Each class is an invitation to breathe deeper, feel more, and remember that the body is a prayer.
When Love Changes, But Doesn’t Die
This is a story about love, loss, and the quiet rebirth that follows. About the kind of heartbreak that lives in the body — sweaty palms, spinning head, breath caught in the chest — and how I learned to meet it with truth instead of shame. In this post, I speak on grief, accountability, yoga as heart medicine, art as alchemy, the seven steps that helped me heal, journal prompts for those walking through the same fire, and an invitation to a Cutting Chords Ceremony for anyone ready to release with love. If your heart is tender, this is for you.
Light in Motion: Being Our Best, Without Leaving Any Part Behind
What does it really mean to be our best selves?
Maybe it isn’t about shining only the polished parts. Maybe being our best means being whole — welcoming the soft wounds, the jagged edges, the shadows we once believed disqualified us from the light.
Love Restores the Blocked Heart
Guilt and shame are tricky medicines. At first they keep us awake. Then they become the chains that keep us from ever coming home. There was once a man who carried a wound older than this lifetime. He didn’t remember the moment it began—only the echo of it. A quiet voice in his bones whispering, “You don’t deserve love. You don’t deserve joy. You must pay.”
So he did.
