Transforming Lives Through Wellness with Embodied Practice

Connecting Within to Transform Your World

With over two decades of experience in yoga, meditation, and bodywork, my journey into these practices has been anything but conventional. My interest in introspection and self-discovery began at a young age, though in my late teens and early 20s, I sought meaning through substances, mainly psychedelics, dance, and travel.

However, without a clear focus, these experiences remained on the surface and created a sense of grasping, searching but with no direction.

This search for identity led me to prison in 1999, where I spent eight years diving deep into who I was, who I wanted to become, and what life truly meant to me.

MY MISSION

I am passionate about and dedicated to enhancing well-being through yoga, meditation, and breathwork (pranayama), offering yoga and mindfulness practices for everyday life. I strive to work with diverse groups of people and through my online platform, I provide private and small group yoga asana and pranayama/breathwork classes, half-day and full-day meditation retreats, and both 6- and 8-week mindfulness courses.

These offerings are designed to introduce diverse meditation techniques and help you develop a consistent, accessible practice that fits your life. Join me on a journey toward holistic wellness and embodied living.

My classes focus on nurturing your mind and body through mindfulness meditation, breathwork, and yoga asanas.
These practices promote relaxation, improve physical health, and enhance overall well-being.

Classes with Ryan have been so helpful! His precise alignment cues, while allowing me to explore, to be free and to be curious about my body at the same time, creates a supportive guidance that has deepened my practice, bringing newfound strength and awareness to every pose.
