Hi, I’m Luna.

I know chronic pain from the inside.

Pain has lived in many parts of my body over the years. The hardest was my jaw. After what should have been a routine dental visit, it locked for three months, and I was in exquisite pain the whole time. Another season brought pelvic pain so intense that I spent hours curled up on the bathroom floor.

In those moments, one thing grounded me: yoga nidra. It became the main ingredient in turning my pain down. Later, yoga therapy helped me regain mobility and strength in my neck, upper back and chest. Those two practices were instrumental in my own healing.

I also know what it is to not be heard. One doctor, who didn’t believe me, said I needed a psych referral. So I did what many of us do: I kept pushing through. For years, that kept me in a cycle of pain and fear, pain and fear.

Yoga gave me a way out of that cycle. It taught me to trust my body again, to advocate for my health, and to rebuild from pain that once felt crippling.

I hold black and brown communities especially close in this work, because we are so often the ones not believed when we say we’re in pain. I want this to be a place where you are.

I offer these practices because they are potent, and because I want you to have what I needed: someone who believes you, and tools to trust your body, and yourself, again. This is my story. Yours will be your own.

Pain is also shaped by the world we live in. Too often, pain in Black and brown bodies, especially women’s, is brushed aside or believed later. I build my practice so you start from being believed.

Everything I teach is an invitation. You can always do less, rest, or skip a practice that doesn’t feel right.
