ABOUT

LV8 is the culmination of a decade and a half of exploration to reach peak experiences, to optimize life, and ultimately, to realize lasting happiness. I took my first yoga class in 2007 as a member of the NCAA D1 Colgate University Men's Lacrosse team and since then have been studying and practicing various forms of meditation, breathwork, yoga, and other holistic practices. This path has brought me to mountain peaks in the British Columbia backcountry, executive board rooms, isolated villages in the Peruvian amazon, ancient Indian temples, and everywhere in between. It has become my mission to share the lessons of these experiences with anyone who is interested to hear. In 2020 I was eager to commit to a daily yoga practice to help balance out the rest of my life. A teacher suggested completing Yoga Teacher Training to dial in my personal practice. Little did I know that yoga was about much more than simple stretching. It was an entire framework for all the things that I had been exploring for a decade. Fast forward through four years of teaching yoga, more teacher trainings, and two trips to India to connect with the roots. LV8 is the entire system of yoga presented for the modern, western mind. My approach takes wisdom from my personal experiences combined with a scientific approach and devotion to the traditional philosophy and practices that have been passed down to me from my teachers and their teachers before them. Now is the time to elevate.
