In 2009 I found myself realizing that my life was in a constant state of unease. I was living though my days but I was not actually living. This realization let me to the practice of yoga, of mindfully moving my body, trying to unwind the tension I held on physical, mental and emotional levels. After committing to this practice every day for 30 days, I found myself resting is savasana at the end of a class feeling an overwhelming sense of peace wash over me. I wept with both relief and joy.

This was the beginning of my journey inwards. Since then, I have become a yoga teacher and studio owner, studied holistic nutrition, become certified in personal development, practiced and studied breathwork, meditation and many other spiritual practices, now specializing as an intuitive writing coach, supporting other to use writing as a tool to process and release deeply held beliefs and emotions that no longer serve, making space for a new story to begin. Those first days on my mat changed my life, and I have never looked back.

Realizing that life happens inside of us was a huge inspiration for Jair and I to seek out a space that would give us the opportunity to offer tools for others to find their inner self – a job that can only done by the self, but requires community and a sense of belonging to something bigger than us. Our hope is that Inwards Market becomes a place for you to lay down your mind and open your heart to the infinite possibilities ahead.
