STORYTELLING

I've been working on a graphic novel for ~4 years (intermittently). I could never sustain the effort it took to transition between my paid work as an instructional designer and this project, so I finally left my career to work on my book full-time.

coming soon!

YOGA

I completed my 500 hr yoga teacher training in 2023 at Nepal Yoga Home in Kathmandu, Nepal under the guidance of my respected teachers and mentors: Shanti and Prakash Acharya, Deependra Bhatt, and Ram Hari Thapa.

I'll be teaching the following classes at the Museum of Vancouver. All classes run from 10:15 - 11:15 a.m. I hope you'll join me!

September 13 (see music list below)

October 18

November 8

December 6

Start your Sunday with an awe-inspiring view as the backdrop to a Hatha yoga session.

This gentle, slower-paced style of yoga focuses on physical postures and breathing—which will be all the more restorative with a stunning view of Vanier Park, English Bay and the North Shore Mountains. This will be the ultimate way to reset before the week begins.

Please bring your yoga mat, if possible. There are a limited number of mats available.

Admission to the MOV is included with your ticket!

Transformation

This month is about transformation. I recently gave up a reliable paycheque and career to pursure my dream of completing a graphic novel I started writing and drawing during Covid. Its been a long time coming!

Yoga & Music

I have the greatest respect for yoga as a spirtitual practice. My teachers in Nepal often joked about "Western" yoga (hot yoga, puppy yoga, etc.), and how far it strays from Eastern spiritual traditions. They were, however, very tolerant of "adapted" styles that suit the culture and environment of practitioners. I vowed to keep the spiritual and meditative purpose of yoga alive, but I struggled with it here at home. I need something to get me going - literally - so I started using music to get out of my head and set my body (and dreams) in motion. I hope the songs and asanas I've chosen inspire you to pursure your dreams too!
