Pamela has practiced meditation since she was a child, implementing the teachings of her father and grandfather to meditate with purpose, prayer, and love. Physical and emotional trauma, including chronic back pain from a head-on car collision, muscle sprains from powerlifting, and grief from the passing of her parents, brought her to asana, (the physical practice of yoga) over ten years ago. In addition to teaching yoga, she has twenty years of experience teaching in various roles, including as a youth minister for the Catholic Archdiocese of Oakland, a diversity and inclusion educator, a government compliance trainer, and a risk management educator.  She teaches vinyasa, incorporating pranayama (breath), meditation, asana, and music, with the goal of helping students achieve their intentions both on the mat and off of the mat.
