As the youngest of nine children, I grew up with a strong desire to understand relationships and psychology on a deeper level. I began my studies within the Vedic tradition of Jyotiṣa ‘The Science of Light’, in 2014 under the guidance of Allison Bodhani. As Indias oldest system of divination it has been preserved for over 5,000 years.
After being introduced to Jyotiṣa an interest in sky observation was sparked. It quickly led me to MaunaKea, Hawai’i, the epicenter for Astronomy research. I joined the stargazing program in 2015 at the Onizuka Center for International Astronomy and spent two and half years immersing myself in ancient starlore and astronomy.
I owe many thanks to the generosity and guidance of my teachers in the Vedic Tradition: Penny Farrow, Margaret Mahan, Steven Highburger, and Vinay Aditya. In sharing this tradition I aim to create an opening for the same light, wisdom, and awareness that I received from the many stars and teachers that have found me on my journey.
I completed my 200 hr Hatha Yoga Teacher Training with Sivananda Yoga Farm in August of 2021. I have been a practicing student of Ashtanga yoga for over 7 years.
