“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” This quote by Viktor Frankl sums up the insightful benefits that daily meditation has gifted me throughout the years.

Each morning it grounds me and aligns my inner and outer being with my life purpose.

I’ve been facilitating meditation through yoga classes and wellness retreats since 2010 for a diverse array of people, and I’m inspired by witnessing different human mindsets open up and their loving connection to life and themselves deepen.

I love making the practices accessible, inviting anyone who wants to live mindfully and wholeheartedly to give meditation a try.

A former school teacher and always a dancer and nature-loving trail-runner, I’m a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher trained in Yoga Psychology and founder of Root 2 Rise Yoga in Hollywood, Los Angeles.

Alex Nashton

Background:

Alex Nashton is endlessly inspired by the human brains ability to change itself. Her love affair with the human brain began when she realized she could use both an understanding of neuroscience and the tools of mindfulness to pull herself out of a long-time battle with anxiety and depression. Years later, she is still meditating every day to cultivate greater mastery over her mind and nervous system. Now, she is a coach, teacher and teacher trainer who specializes in using neuroscience and mindfulness to help her students unplug from patterns of the past, rewire themselves for less anxiety and create more joy. Alex does this through facilitating practices of guided movement, breath work, meditation and subconscious reprogramming. She currently lives in Santa Monica, CA where she studies Neuroscience full-time at UCLA.

Grace Whitlock

Background:

Grace is a wellbeing coach, breathwork guide, and tarot reader who believes in helping others find their personal shine and supporting them as they step into. We all have our own shine. Shine are those qualities that remind us how vital and vibrant we are. Grace’s mission is to guide you through experiences that invite you to deeply reflect, radically celebrate, and tenderly embrace all the parts of yourself. She believes that through these experiences you will walk away full of yourself (in the best way possible) Grace first found her personal shine as a theater major when she attended Boston Arts Academy. She then moved from center stage to the podium at SoulCycle where she realized it was a lot more fulfilling to watch other people step into their own spotlight, seeing her riders drop into their bodies, get untangled, and express themselves fully became the ignition for her bigger mission. After experiencing Breathwork first hand, she was blown away to discover a more profound way to tap into an undefended level of self awareness. This led her to train with David Elliot and to become a Breathwork Facilitator. She is currently in the process of getting her certification to become a Somatic Trauma Informed Coach through Pause Coaching.
