I embarked on my yoga teaching journey a decade ago at the age of 19, amidst my collegiate soccer career and studies at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. Overcoming bilateral compartment syndrome surgery, I explored the plant-based lifestyle, witnessing a profound healing of sports-induced asthma within a month. Yoga emerged as a transformative force, offering both challenge and serenity, preventing injuries, enhancing recovery, and significantly improving my overall well-being.

In 2015, I proudly graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Health Promotion and Wellness. Six years into my teaching career, a pivotal meeting with Vedasara, an Indian Monk from the Himalayas, marked a spiritual awakening. As a guru in Ashtanga Yoga, Ayurvedic Medicine, and Astrology, Vedasara became a profound influence. Four years of immersive study, practice, teaching, and leading a spiritual yoga tour in India unveiled the profound depth of yoga beyond physical postures. It became clear that the world needed to grasp the essence of yoga as a lifelong practice connecting individuals to God, fostering physical fitness, and relieving stress.

Motivated by this realization, I established Tribal—a sanctuary bridging eastern philosophy with western practice. Tribal is more than a yoga studio; it’s a haven for individuals seeking optimum health and happiness at any age without resorting to extreme workouts or diets. This is a place for those in search of an alternative, for those who have exhausted every avenue. Welcome to your Tribe, where a holistic approach to well-being awaits. You’ve found your community.
