With deep devotion to social change and the spiritual path, Hannah is known for her profound ability to weave the opposites, integrating the mythical and practical, spiritual and physical, the intellectual and mystical. In retreats, trainings, workshops and online classes she has a rare gift of weaving ancient wisdom into the relevant realities of modern life, making practices accessible, applicable and meaningful to the lives and communities of those who find her.
Hannah is a faculty member at the Esalen Institute and has been a featured presenter at Wanderlust, Bhakti Fest, Shakti Fest, Symbiosis, Spirit Weavers, and Electric Forest.

Her most influential teachers include Baba Hari Dass, her root teacher, and Buddhist teachers Jack Kornfield, Tara Brach and Tuere Sala.
With a background in social & environmental advocacy, Hannah’s spirituality is inspired by devotion to the path of service. Hannah serves as President of the Yoga for All Movement, an organization that shares yoga and mindfulness with individuals experiencing incarceration, people in recovery from substance abuse, survivors of domestic violence, and others who have historically not been served by the wellness industry.
An agent of fierce compassion for humanity and the earth, a mother, and a devoted practitioner, Hannah is known for weaving complex teachings into accessible, heart-opening, life-changing experiences. Her nickname is the "Midwife of Possibility" and her teachings have been called paradigm shifting.
Hannah lives and loves between the redwoods and the sea on the unceded territory of the Awaswas-speaking Uypi Tribe in Santa Cruz, California. There you can find her in the ocean with her greatest teacher/15 year-old daughter Ruby Bea, practicing with her online mindfulness sangha "Shelter in the Heart", organizing for equity and collective care, dancing wildly, or meditating quietly.
