WHAT I'M UP TO
WHAT I'M UP TO
What I’ve been learning
I've become an accidental documentarian of urban wildlife — capturing nightly dramas of skunks waddling by my back fence, possums foraging in the moonlight, and coyotes reminding us that wilderness persists even at civilization's edge. This same spirit of patient observation flows into my work as a yoga teacher, where we explore different kinds of wild spaces: those within. Whether on the mat or before my canyon cam's footage, I'm reminded that the most profound moments come not from seeking, but from the simple art of showing up — to breathe, to witness, to remember our place in the larger story of being.
Adventure
Most of my adventures have been internal lately, but I do regular walks around a nearby lake that offers a new experience every time. I love being in nature and appreciate the ability to do so close to home.
