With dance as a central part of her journey, Halo has trained countless hours in a Classical Indian Dance form born of the Temples of East India called Odissi. She has studied under the lineage of Guru Kelu Charan Mohapatra with the legendary Sujata Mohapatra and her disciples Colleena Shakti, Sonali Mishra and Revital Carroll. Her first guru was Padma Charan Dehury. Halo was part of the sacred dance troupe Dakini Rose Devadasi directed by Monique Trinity Rose for many years which presented classical and contemporary sacred dance theater featuring Tribal and Indian Fusion Belly Dance as well as Odissi.  Most recently Halo has been diving into Central Asian dance with her teacher Miriam Peretz. These experiences have infused her development of what she coined Shakti Temple Dance, a weaving of sacred dance lineages from the East.

During her time living, teaching, and studying at the Dakini Rose Gardens and Temple she was also initiated into the 13 Moon Mystery School under its founder Ariel Spilsbury and into the Tantric Dance of the Sacred Feminine by Loraia Ward, a student of Vajra Ma who birthed the original Tantric Dance of Feminine Power®. 

After over a decade as a practitioner and student of yoga, Halo officially received a Yoga Alliance certification as an E-RYT 200 Tantra Yoga teacher in 2018 from Satya Loka School of Traditional Tantra and Yoga. She is now offering continuing education as a registered YACEP for yoga teachers interested in a more traditional and authentic approach through her programs. 

All of these threads weave into her unique flavor of teaching, building a bridge from the mundane to the mystical for all who attend her courses.
