Featured on the Manduka Blog!

It was an honor to have the opportunity to write a piece for the Manduka Blog as a part of the Manduka x Gerry Lopez collection launch. In this article, I share my personal experiences with surfing and yoga and how I view the two as similar spiritual paths that reconnect us to life.

7 THINGS SURFING HAS TAUGHT ME ABOUT LIFE

The ocean has kicked my ass, pounded me senseless, and scared the crap out of me. But, the ocean has also cradled me, rejuvenated me, and given me some of the best memories of my life.

TRUSTING YOUR PROCESS

TRUSTING YOUR PROCESS

Compassion reminds us that we must place our trust in the process and allow our journey to unfold exactly as it should. Not how we think it should. Because really, in yoga or surfing or life, what is the final destination?
