this is about putting the yoga into practice. manifesting your sovereignty in life. it takes courage to self-actualize for oneself and the collective while cultivating the safe grounds of partners, family, friends and work life. my journey of putting the yoga to work is about growing sustainability in business. currently employed in sustainable finance for a global bank (see my LI page ) but always finding space for creative endeavours in or outside of the corporate constraints. it is just cool to manifest and get out there. work with like-minded people and teams and get a taste of different countries and cultures. scary sometimes but we need to do this all together.
