I am really into breath. I am really into intention. Harnessing the power of the human mind through breath is the ultimate tool for health, healing, and happiness. I lead volunteer yoga classes outdoors in San Francisco, CA at Hayes Valley Farm. I have been doing so for the past year. I also throw conscious (alcohol free) yoga and blindfolded dance parties in SF. As an eLearning entrepreneur and enthusiast, I believe eLearning to be a fantastic tool for personal sustainability. eLearning reduces the carbon footprint of travel, increasing potential for physical activity in our busy lives, and opens up opportunities to learn from instructors and concepts all over the world. Join me as we move into the next learning paradigm and connect the world with knowledge and health.

Growing up in Marine Corps family with my 4 brothers taught me the power of cooperation and compromise. My father (Col. D.M. Black, USMC, Ret.) instilled uncompromising character and integrity, my mother added a healthy dose of caring and understanding. Living in 16 different states and two countries gave me perspective and made me adaptable. So, at my core, I am a teacher AND a learner. I have an uncanny ability to identify best practices and share them with others in a way that makes sense for them. I am always striving to improve. I work hard but remember to enjoy this journey that is life. As habits, I say "thank you" to military personnel, I stand for the National Anthem, I don't like horror movies but enjoy a great comedy, I make mistakes and learn from them, I love doing yard work but detest making the bed. My greatest satisfaction in business comes from my clients sharing or showing how they achieved personal success based on an idea that was generated in a talk or class.
