Why Wild Sage?
Why Wild Sage?
I am a freelance writer-editor, certified yoga teacher, and Reiki practitioner living in Sonoma County/Kashaia, Pomo, Graton Rancheria territories.

I am a freelance writer-editor, certified yoga teacher, and Reiki practitioner living in Sonoma County/Kashaia, Pomo, Graton Rancheria territories.
I facilitate yoga classes, mediation, healing arts workshops, and women’s circles based on belief in the transformative, healing, and empowering nature of embodied expression in all forms: writing, art, breath, movement, ritual, and meditation. I write, practice, teach, volunteer, and facilitate to energize, awaken, inspire, and co-create personal and communal (rev)elation + (r)evolution.
My background is in education—teaching literacy skills and expository + creative writing. Over the last 25 years, I have worked with students of all ages, levels, backgrounds, and abilities.
My longtime yoga practice, cultivated in the crucible of grad school and a sweaty Berkeley studio 20 years ago, yielded into a daily devotion that naturally evolved into teaching.
I was trained and certified by Sienna Smith in Shri Yoga, a synthesis of Hatha traditions rooted in the eight limbs and based on principles of Anusara (consciousness)
and Viniyoga (adaptation).
[Krishnamacharya-Desikachar Lineage]
I have also received direct teachings from Sally Kempton, Michelle C. Johnson,
Dianne Bondy, Amber Karnes,
Anusha Wijeyakumar, Reggie Hubbard, Shiva Rea, Seane Corn, Hala Khouri,
Suzanne Sterling, Nikki Myers, Sadie Nardini, Stephanie Snyder, Amy Ippoliti, Christina Sell, Chinnamasta Stiles, Mirka Kraftsow.

My studentship and teaching is rooted in
deep dedication and respect for
I operate from an ever-growing understanding that yoga is a living, mutable practice, at once physical, soulful, and unique to each individual.
Whatever the reason for coming to the mat, yoga is a great gift of self-wisdom available to every body and every being.
Through breath, movement, and dedication, yoga works to calm the mind, engage the body, and cultivate an awareness which helps us to accomplish great feats of humanness:
CONNECTION, PEACE,
STRENGTH, FLEXIBILITY,
HEALING, BALANCE,
FOCUS, VIBRANCY.
Yoga is not only good exercise and personal medicine, it is an expression of how
we each live our lives—providing us with
challenges, choices, insights, and rewards
both on and off the mat.
