Healing that lands in the body
Your body has been listening all along. The right practice can help you re-member yourself.
Yoga has long understood mind and body as one. I offer yoga therapy and somatic practice that work where our deepest patterns are held: in the breath, the nervous system, and the subtle body, the layer of energy and sensation beneath thought.
Our sessions move through what Tibetan medicine and Buddhism call the three gates of body, speech, and mind: gentle movement, conversation and breath, and meditation. Together, we create a nourishing container for fuller presence, agency, and a more resilient nervous system. We begin with steadiness in your body and breath. From there, deeper patterns and long-held tension have room to shift. Embodied connection and play tend to follow.
This work pairs well with other care, like talk therapy, physical therapy, or medical treatment. Your personalized practices offer an experiential way to learn the mind-body connection, so the work you’re doing elsewhere can settle here, into your body.
Body, Speech, and Mind: the three gates of awakened consciousness
Your body is the pathway
Yoga Therapy
A more physical, condition-focused approach. Every session begins with grounding, then moves into gentle exploration and movement medicine. We work with what's showing up in your body and nervous system.
People often come with chronic stress, burnout, trauma, chronic pain, sleep struggles, or injury and illness recovery.
Yoga therapy meets you where you are, and your personalized plan often supports emotional, mental, and spiritual wellbeing.
Container ~ Weekly · 75 min · 8-session program, with personalized movement and meditation videos and support between sessions
Relational Yoga
A more inward, pattern-focused approach. Every session begins with grounding, then moves into conversation, coaching, and somatic practice. Together, we find the medicine underneath what you’re carrying.
People often come with anxiety, feeling disconnected, inner patterns that keep repeating, struggles in relationships, a longing for deeper connection and ease, or a wish to reclaim agency in body and mind.
Open to individuals, and to couples or partners who want to do this work together.
Container ~ Every 2 weeks · 75 min · 6 months (12 sessions), with personalized movement and meditation videos and support between sessions
❖ About AJ
Where medicine meets meditation
I came to this work through very different worlds: service as a Navy veteran, years in the corporate world, and a long immersion in wellness, spiritual, and inclusive communities. Different as they were, each showed me the same human pattern from a new angle: how readily we brace and separate to get through life, and the real, embodied work it takes to come back.
My approach is integrative, with yoga at the spine. I draw from the tantric traditions of Kashmir and Tibet, Tibetan medicine, and kapwa, the Filipino psychology of my heritage, where the self emerges from relationship. Across every tradition I’ve studied, one thing keeps returning: that yoga and meditation are relational practices. Yoga means we are yoking ourselves to our experience, and the steadiness we’re able to build in practice becomes the steadiness we bring into every relationship.
In a world constantly competing for our attention, turning toward your breath, your body, your mind, and the people around you is a quietly radical act, and it’s the heart of what we do together.
Off the mat, I’m usually out communing with nature, playing my daf drum, spinning records, or happily nerding out on yoga and tantric philosophy.
