-World Traveller: 15 countries this year
-Currently studying Yin Yoga, Anatomy, TCM, World History and Esoteric Science

I am actively traveling the world, studying yin yoga from the masters. I am immersing myself in culture and the history of civilization.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am traveling the world studying and teaching a special type of Yin Yoga that I used to beat surgery and heal myself after a massive car accident. It's revolutionary and so restorative. I'm curently teaching yoga daily and studying a new module every 4-8 weeks. I am leaving my home of 14 years in Miami on September 1st 2019 to teach and travel indefinitely. it is my goal to experience 100 countries or more before I return to the U.S.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was paralyzed on my left side and in an immobilizer with traction for 8 weeks following an auto accident. I was advised to have emergency surgery and told that if I didn't I may end up paralyzed from the neck down. I didn't accept this belief and decided to heal myself through a holistic approach by practicing yin yoga and hanging upside down on an inversion table daily. I was 80% better after 16 weeks rather than the prognosis of only 70% after 104 weeks with surgery. Today I am fully healed and enjoying 100% mobility which allows me to travel the world teaching this special type of yoga. The yoga that I used to beat surgery against the recommendations of 3 neurosurgeons and 1 orthopedic surgeon.
