I met Tony in 2016 when my sister, who had been cutting his hair for some time, introduced us. I was fresh out of high school and looking for a place to learn to meditate. It turned out that Tony had recently begun Saturday practice at the 100 Acres Park and was charging nothing! I enjoyed how peaceful it was practicing outdoors. I would also join the group in meditating at Chùa An Lạc after yoga. In 2021 I began a year-long training with Tony and learned how to lead yoga and meditation practices. I’ve been moved over the years when people come up to me and say they feel de-stressed, or experience relief from pain or discomfort after a session. It echoes a large part of why I’ve stuck around and decided to share this with others. I feel proud and grateful to have this group in my life. I’ve met many wonderful souls along the way and cannot wait to see how ICY continues to shape and mold.

When not practicing I’m probably curled up on the couch with a concha, season 3 of SpongeBob and my 5-year-old :)
