TAUTOKO EMBODIMENT PRACTICES
Body · Breath · Mind · Insight · Bliss
My Approach
I teach embodiment practices as a way to deepen awareness and connection with oneself and the wider world within and without.
Movement, breath, and meditation become tools for integration rather than performance. The intention is not to perfect a pose but to cultivate sensitivity, curiosity, and inner steadiness.
Whether we’re working with stillness or expansion, each practice meets you where you are and invites awareness of your direct experience.
A Safe Space for Exploration and Connection
Classes are intentionally paced to encourage noticing, not striving. You’ll be guided to explore sensation, breath, and subtle shifts in awareness and to connect with the intelligence of your body and the deeper rhythms beneath effort and rest.
This is a space to come home to yourself, to ground, reorganize, and recognize your own inner teacher.
The Intersection of Tradition and Lived Experience
My teaching is informed by the traditions of classical yoga and tantra and modern embodiment and awareness-based practices.
Influences include Anusara’s postural alignment of heart and body, the meditative stillness of Yin and Nidra, and the energy of mantra and breathwork.
Whether ancient or modern, philosophy and theme anchor each class, allowing concepts to be felt and experienced rather than merely understood.

Who I Am as a Teacher
I’m a RYT-500 certified yoga teacher with focused training and study in non-dual philosophy, meditation, nervous system regulation and embodied insight coaching. My own path began with meditation and postural yoga and has evolved into a practice of living exploration of awareness, philosophy, and embodiment.
Yoga, breathwork, and meditation have been both refuge and revelation, offering a way of meeting life’s complexity with steadiness, curiosity, and reverence.
I teach from gratitude and respect for the myriad lineages that inform this work and for the living teachers and students who keep it alive.
