Molly is a seeker. At age 20, she discovered meditation and the teachings of the Buddha, which ended up saving her life. She has since devoted thousands of hours studying with world renowned teachers Janet Stone, Jack Kornfield, Spring Washam and Jai Uttal. Molly holds space for students to drop behind the logic and into the truth of their own direct experience - through chanting, music, dynamic movement, stillness and Dharma.
Molly's unwavering commitment to cultivating conscious community has manifested through her co-ownership (with Mike) of The Castro Room, an iconic San Francisco yoga studio previously known as Yoga Tree Castro
