Xyloh completed their 200hr yoga teacher training with SYI in 2019 and has worked at various retreat centers in South and Central America. They strive to live authentically with an openness for learning and self-development.

With their background in psychology and philosophy, Xyloh has brought yoga into mental health treatment facilities in the United States as a holistic healing modality. They obtained their Master’s degree in Yoga Studies with a concentration in yoga therapy in 2022 at Loyola Marymount University. Inspired by their own life experiences, they published their Master’s thesis titled “The Solace of Grey: yogic perspectives on healing through complex trauma”.

Alongside their service dog Kokiri, Xyloh has worked privately with yoga therapy clients, taught an undergraduate course on yoga philosophy, faciliated trauma-related workshops and therapy groups, and has led equine yoga sessions. With the wisdom gained through yoga, Xyloh now works as a crisis counselor for the suicide textline and aims to complete their PhD in Clinical Psychology.

As a trauma-informed yogic counselor, Xyloh aims to invite individuals back home to themselves physically, psychologically, and spiritually. Yoga serves as a method for regulation and finding connection in places of disconnect. Xyloh utilizes curiousity as an entryway into exploration of darker aspects of human nature, where one’s own light may be uncovered in the universe they carry within.
