credentials

Thank You to my Teachers, Guides and Students over these many years through whom I learn and grow as a practitioner and teacher.

Credit is due for the YM Method itself, formerly knows as the YM Method, for being a truly amazing body of work that brings me so much joy and expansion as a practitioner and a teacher. Revolutionary. Radical. Life-changing.

Kudos and gratitude to the Origins of this work and to the Founder Teacher Jon Monks whose teachings are the basis of all YM practices, the YM Sadhana Program which I co-created with him and all the Principles of Practice that is purely YM.

I have continued to adapt this body of work into new Hatha Yoga and spiritual teachings of my own origin since 2016, when Jon and I parted ways after 7 years of close collaboration between our Yoga Schools.

As a student of Guru Kriyaji since 2010, I am greatly influenced in my work by the spiritual process I have received in Her Presence and Teachings, however I do not teach Her methods. They are my personal practice only. I owe to Her my spiritual development in all areas of Life and my practice. 

The Galactic Federation since 2020 and my Spiritual Team have been my educators in recent years through the Earth Upgrade Process, bringing unto me an accelerated expansion I never previously dreamed possible in this lifetime.

Please see below further credentials for my earlier teacher trainings, teachers and business collaborators that led me to where I am today. Ever grateful to them all.
