Hello! my name is ryan [they/she]
I practice dharma, hatha yoga, and various embodiment/spiritual practices. I am interested in applying these practices in modern life to be myself well and support folks through teaching and manual therapy.
The following is an incomplete list of adjectives that describe my understanding of my (relative) self at the moment of writing this: white, queer, transgender, transfemme, non-binary, middle-aged, introvert. I suspect some of these descriptors will shift - at least in terms of language - and some will not.
Feel free to reach out anytime, or better yet, come to class (in-person or online), and we can practice together!
yoga + dharma
yoga is dharma, dharma is yoga.
While isolating a practice or topic for learning purposes… I have found an integrated view to be the most helpful for me and the folks I work with.
Whether teaching embodiment practices, meditation, anatomy, or philosophy, I hold all of those as expressions of yoga practice – they all intersect.
As a teacher, I try to offer what I have found helpful in my practice:
hatha yoga - with a therapeutic orientation
meditation - influenced primarily by tibetan buddhist practices.
dharma - to the degree to which I understand it.
Upcoming Events
