Honoring My Teachers and Lineage
My journey into the realms of yoga, healing, and spirituality began in the heart of Peru back in 2016, during a profound 300-hour shamanic yoga intensive training. It was there that I delved deep into the wisdom of the Andean Medicine Wheel, lunar rhythms, and plant medicine, embarking on a transformative path of self-discovery.
As I share the knowledge and practices I’ve acquired, it’s crucial to acknowledge the incredible teachers and lineage holders who have passed down these ancient teachings to me. I wish to express my deep gratitude to Shri Alyra, Vindaughton, Adi Shakti, and the Akhanda Shakti Lineage, as well as the Priestess of the Rose Marin, the Yoga Veda Institute, and Karen and John Ward.
Why We Honor Our Teachers and Lineages:
By acknowledging our teachers, we pay homage to the time and care they invested in mastering these practices before passing them on. It’s a gesture of profound appreciation and gratitude.
Maintaining this connection keeps the teachings alive and ensures they don’t become disconnected theories. The wisdom continues to flow from one generation to the next.
When we name our teachers and their lineages, we also indirectly honor the teachers who came before them, preserving a timeless chain of transmission.
In many ancient traditions, the lineage itself held great authority and spiritual significance. By naming and celebrating it, we pay tribute to this legacy.

My Commitment:
As I share the wisdom I’ve gained from these traditions, it’s my responsibility to do so mindfully, with care and integrity. My aim is to make yoga, these teachings, and the ability to self-heal accessible to all who seek well-being and self-realization. Creating an inclusive environment for people of all backgrounds to learn and grow on their journeys is paramount.
While respecting the yoga, Ayurveda, and shamanic lineages, I also remember that these teachings emerged to uplift humanity. My goal is to guide others skillfully and compassionately, contributing positivity to the world.
The Transformative Power of Ayurveda, Yoga, and Shamanic Wisdom:
My exploration of Ayurveda, yoga, and shamanic wisdom has profoundly shaped my journey of self-love and self-discovery. Ayurveda has taught me to understand my unique mind-body type and how to find balance through diet, herbs, meditation, and yoga. Yoga has provided me with tools to quiet my busy mind and reconnect with my inner wisdom. Through practices like pranayama, asana, and meditation, I’ve cultivated compassion and self-acceptance.
Exposure to shamanic principles has shown me that each of us possesses innate healing abilities and the capacity to retrieve lost parts of our soul. Ancient rituals and ceremonies have allowed me to honor my struggles, release what no longer serves, and realign with my highest purpose. I’ve learned to trust my inner healer and view life’s challenges as opportunities for growth. Above all, I’ve come to understand that love for oneself and others is the greatest healing force of all.
Your Unique Path to Spiritual Health:
Spiritual health is a deeply personal journey, unique to each individual’s soul path. To live intentionally, we must look within and discover meaning that resonates in our hearts. Shamanic wisdom teaches us that life is a continuous process of uncovering and reclaiming our soul fragments, whether they lie within us or in the world around us.
Ayurveda reveals that we each have different paths to balance body, mind, and spirit based on our Doshas. Each soul must walk its own path of self-realization and find stillness to hear the inner calling. By living in alignment with our Dharma, we contribute our unique gifts to uplift the world. Spiritual health blossoms from inner harmony and recognizing our interconnectedness with all of life
