Coach. Author. Founder.

I’ve always been fascinated by balance — not as something we achieve once and hold onto, but as something we practice every day.

Through movement, breathing, and writing, I help people reconnect with themselves using practical tools that support well-being, resilience, and longevity.

For more than twenty years I’ve worked with everyone from university sports teams and Olympians to business leaders, parents, and local communities. While our lives may look very different, I’ve found that many of the challenges we face are surprisingly similar. We spend long hours at desks, carry stress in our bodies, lose touch with our breathing, and often forget that small, consistent practices are a game changer in terms of how we feel.

My own journey began as an injured collegiate basketball player while working as a journalist in the San Francisco Bay Area. Yoga helped me recover physically, but more importantly it changed the way I thought about performance, balance and well-being. At the time, I struggled to find teachers who could explain these practices in a way that resonated with my life as an athlete, so I began connecting those dots for myself.

That curiosity has shaped everything I’ve created since.

I founded Athletes for Yoga to help athletes discover practical ways to use yoga in support of their sporting goals. Over time, those same ideas proved just as valuable beyond sport, inspiring my books Hit Reset, Work IN and Move, Rest, Recover, my workshops and retreats, corporate programs, community classes, and my weekly newsletter, Balance Practice.

Throughout my work, the thread has remained the same — I translate timeless practices into practical tools that help people breathe deeper, move better, and navigate life with greater balance and ease.

Whether you join me for a class, read one of my books, attend a workshop, or simply spend a few minutes with the newsletter each week, my hope is that you’ll leave with something useful — something you can return to again and again even as life inevitably shifts and change, moment by moment and season by season.

Thanks for being here. I look forward to practicing together.
