I was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. Growing up as a cisgender black Native American male, I quickly grew a passion for all things sports. During my tenure as a collegiate athlete, I sustained a low back injury where yoga became part of my physical therapy. My yoga practice became a new frontier for physical prowess, which led to 13 years of experience. In 2017, my medical profession took me from Phoenix, AZ to Denver, where I began to hone his ability to teach yoga. My goal is to leave you feeling invigorated with a side of bliss.

Kathy Sietos - Sound Healing

My greatest passion to date is to witness and help facilitate deep energetic and emotional healing within a group setting. When 2 or more people gather together in ceremony and ritual a beautiful amplification of energy manifests. Each session is unique but all sessions will incorporate herbs, smoke clearings, guided and impactful healing techniques that are intermixed with a symphony of sacred frequencies and sounds.
