“Look deep into nature and then you will understand everything better”
~ Albert Einstein
Adi has been a life long student of practicing yoga off the mat in all shapes and forms especially when it involves being outdoors and connecting with nature. Her practices are alignment-based and draw from a background of practicing yoga in the forms of Vinyasa, Iyengar, Ashtanga, and Anusara as well as studying Pilates and Thai Massage. Her journey on the mat began in 1995 when a back injury led her to yoga as an alternative to back surgery. While splitting time spending winters in Rincón, Puerto Rico, and living in the Hudson Valley NY, her hobbies include surfing, climbing, mountain biking, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
Rooted in sustainability and Environmentalism from a young age, Adi was drawn to study Herbalism & Plant Medicine in 2004 while living in NYC and she completed training in Western Herbalism. She created the Bone Hollow Apothecary to draw from her plant medicine background and as a means to simplify essential oils for day-to-day use. This line also reflects what she uses to help treat clients in her Thai Massage and Herbalism practices.
Similarly, what started as a gardening project during the 2020 Pandemic lockdown in Puerto Rico turned into a new flower and plant business in the form of WILD CHILD where she creates custom flower arrangements from her garden in Rincón while also growing plants for other clients to plant on their land. She hopes to eventually turn WILD CHILD into a platform for educating about conscious landscaping, preservation, and cultivation of land with a focus on educating about the wild tropical plant species native to Puerto Rico.
Adi’s adventures and environmental awareness endeavors have been featured in The New York Times, Yoga Journal, Outdoor Japan, New York Magazine, National Geographic, L.A. Yoga, Yoga + Joyful Living, Urban Climber, Elephant Journal, Current TV, and TIME for CNN.
