About me: I have been practicing and offering yoga, meditation and mindfulness practices for over a decade in various spaces - yoga studios, assisted living facilities, retreat programs, online classes, in labor & delivery spaces as a birth doula, facilities of incarceration, corporate workplaces, and more. I have specialized training in yoga for self-regulation and trauma, yin yoga, restorative yoga, and they are certified through the Integrative Amrit (I AM) Method as a yoga nidra instructor. I co-lead the LoveYourBrain Teacher Trainings to offer yoga teachers and clinicians tools in how to adapt yoga and meditation practices to be accessible for the TBI community. I offer teaching expertise to make yoga accessible, individually healing, and empowering for all students through the LoveYourBrain Yoga, Mindset, and Retreat programs.

Why LYB: I believe yoga is a practice that allows us to keep opening to the complexity that exists within each of us - seeing truth and coming to know ourselves, and in doing so being able to live with greater accountability and love. I am able-bodied, navigating PTSD, mental illness and other non-visible disabilities that give me compassion and understanding for tending to the parts of each other that we may not see or fully understand.

Superhero: My Nisei grandmother, Sumiko Yeya Mansfield.
