About Me
My yoga practice actually sprouted from anger.
After years of social justice activism, I was isolated, judgemental, and burnt out. My body was exhausted from years of neglect and poor eating habits.
But I soon realized that yoga was medicine for my body and for my spirit. For the first time in years, my muscles relaxed and so did my mind. It was incredible! Feeling physically and emotionally refreshed, I found the energy to make more healthful choices.
Over time, I became a yoga teacher and then a conflict resolution specialist for businesses.
I created this virtual retreat to help other people take a break from physical and emotional stress.
Frequently Asked Questions
When can I start?

You’ll have access to all materials until September 1st, 2022.
Why is there a deadline?
As you may have experienced yourself, when you can make a change anytime…it never really happens. Deadlines are tool to help you get started and maintain your momentum to the end of the reset. If something comes up and you need an extension, just email me.

All recipes are vegan, gluten-free and easily adapted for other dietary needs. If you’re ever not sure about a subsitution, just ask!
