Yoga - Meditation - Peer mentoring
Welcome to asaya, and namaste!
The word, Asaya, means subliminal intention in Sanskrit.
Intention leads everything I do in my yoga and meditation sessions.
I also provide mentorship and advanced teachings for those who do supportive caregiving work, such as chaplains, spiritual workers, medical workers, yoga teachers, or other healers who support people journeying through difficult states and hard times. You can learn more about my work mentoring peers here.
