“I’ve always had a sense that, by the time I reached 60, I would hold a certain wisdom—not as a final destination, but as a rich ground to stand on.”

This is my Story

 My relationship with yoga began with a childhood curiosity—sparked in grade three and nurtured through a summer yoga course the following year. I practiced with videos throughout my teens and twenties, but it wasn’t until I stepped into my first in-person class at age 30 that something clicked. During my second class, simply moving in and out of a standing forward fold, I had a quiet yet unmistakable knowing: one day, I will teach this. There was no urgency, just a steady, exciting inevitability.

 A consistent daily practice grew naturally after that. The right teachers, insights, and inspirations seemed to arrive without effort, as if drawn to the clarity of my path. I was especially drawn to ideas that respected the body’s intelligence—moving with ease rather than force, accessing stability through joint support instead of muscular strain, using just enough effort and no more. I was captivated by the concept of Crowns—natural domes of the body like the armpits and groins that direct movement and expression—and the idea of dynamic movement arising from a calm nervous system.

 I’ve always had a sense that, by the time I reached 60, I would hold a certain wisdom—not as a final destination, but as a rich ground to stand on. I’m now 60, and that quiet belief has become a lived reality. The work continues, of course. This lifelong curiosity and humble sensing into my own body became the living foundation for the philosophy and practice of Spontaneous CORE.

 At the heart of Spontaneous CORE are four principles:

 

  • Crowns — Finding dynamic ease by working with the natural domes of the body.
  • Override — Using only the muscles needed for the job, letting go of compensations.
  • Rehearse — Practicing movement patterns like a musician practices scales.
  • Ease — Building capacity slowly, spiraling into deeper connection with each movement.

 This is not a method imposed on the body—it’s a return to the body’s own logic, rhythm, and potential. Spontaneous CORE is the unfolding of decades of experience, curiosity, and deep listening. I hope it meets you where you are, and helps you meet yourself there too.
