About me:
If you know me personally, you would know how excited I get about traveling and being outdoors. Earlier this year was amazing due to the fact I embarked on a 2,000 mile Bike tour from Montana to California to Portland Oregon. I learned a lot about myself and with the help of all the people that assisted me along the way as they restored my faith in humanity. This bike tour also helped me gear up for the Powderhorn 24 in Minneapolis MN where I placed 4th overall. While doing these rides I know that yoga was a huge reason for creating a healthy mindset while on the bike. Rock climbing is another passion of mine and the movement corresponds so well to the yoga and maintaining a center.
The past year I have been occupying a detailed bike journal about combining yoga and cycling. I hope to teach many cyclists to have a healthier mindset while cycling and provide them with great ways to stretch, breathe, meditate and fuel. Mindful practice during long bike rides has changed the way I feel about pain and suffering.
In May of 2014, I completed my goal of arriving and living in Portland. Since my time in a new city I have caught the travel bug and also have been building a business to be launched sometime in mid-2015. Most of my expenses are tied up in that endeavor and in my photography business which I am launching later this month. During this business transition I have kept a sane head through yoga practice. I also have another job and have found that it is harder for me to train as much as I want. Through my work with biking and Yoga training I have made a commitment to making yoga a bigger part of my life. Simply put, without it I cannot be 100%.
In the beginning:
As some of you might know I had a rough start during my early to mid-twenties and had to turn my life around since it did not benefit my family, friends and especially myself. As I began to pick up the pieces and discovered sobriety, yoga somehow showed it's face. In early 2011 yoga not only kick started my ambition to have a healthy and fit exterior it also cleared a lot of head space for healthy thoughts I became spiritually fit. Yoga bridged the gap that helped me feel confident in everyday life and regain physical strength to cycle, rock climb and adventure out into the world. After studying all different types of yoga, it wasn't until a couple months ago that I took my first Ashtanga yoga class and I must say it revitalized my heart. While seeking out other studios to practice I ran into an amazing male teacher who inspired me to teach. His joy, knowledge and heart radiated through the room and I want to share that as well.
So I need YOU, the funder and supporter to help me along with my journey to become my greater self. The funding will help with the program and assist in any travel costs. If the amount is exceeded it would also help with continuing my travels to work with another program and workshop in Bali to advance my teaching skills for another month. Even a dollar goes a long way. Please share on facebook, email and other social platforms.
The program costs $3500, which includes housing, and the extra $1000 will go towards the cost of traveling to Bali.
