I do teach Kum Nye, Tibetan Yoga. Most of my time is spent working in publishing, correspondence and shipping. I live at a retreat center in Northern California. Community living is one of the most challenging aspects of practice in daily life. Things like relaxing in conflict and patience become key to my yoga in daily life practice.

I love what I do and wish I could do more of it; I aim to live everyday as an investment in my spiritual development...even when I am sanding and painting, I am meditating and chanting mantras quietly to myself...with my music I wish to take it to the next level; I would love to make yoga/meditation music, that would be so fulfilling! As for modeling, I am most happy when it has to do with health, wellness and healing...but I do have the occasional commercial work that I take for extra money...of course, I have debated with myself about taking on modeling/acting work that is not in alignment with my higher purpose. For example, what if one of the major fast-food chains asked me to do a commercial...would I take it? That would be a great contract, bringing in major $$$$ upfront with years of royalties...but do I eat or want to promote fast-food? NO WAY!!! So, my answer would always be no...because I believe health is our greatest wealth and, as a holistic fitness trainer, I just cannot condone such destructive behavior towards self and Mother Earth. I may have to be more patient for the right flow of money to bless my family and I with prosperous abundance, but it will definitely be worth the extra effort... : )

I am currently a Nanny!, and I am going to massage school in the fall!, I am hoping yoga will help me attain the strength I need to give massages, as well as help me keep my own body healthy while I do it.

I am a waitress at the Hard Rock Casino.

Biology Student-Full-Time. I pay my own bills and for my own schooling.

I plan on going to Dental School when I receive my B.S.

With the help of yoga I will stay sane through the process
