MEET YOUR GUIDES
We offer deep gratitude to our teachers and the teachers of our teachers for shining the torchlight of knowledge onto our path. May we forever live in their shelter.
Note: If you're interested in teaching at Crown Point Journeys, we encourage you to sign-up for a class and stay for a cup of tea & chat afterward.
Meet Winter, the founder of Crown Point Journeys and a true spiritual adventurer. She is a 1000+ hour Yoga Alliance certified yoga teacher and an initiated Kambo practitioner. Her goal in opening the studio was to offer journeys that intertwine the spiritual, mental, and physical realms, guiding students toward a slowed-down blissful life.
After a decade working in corporate PR and marketing, Winter's teaching journey began with a 500-hr teaching certification in Hatha & Vinyasa yoga at an eco-community called Krishna Village near Byron Bay, Australia. Her training was deeply rooted in bhakti philosophy, Krishna consciousness, and kriya purification techniques.
Winter started teaching yoga on O'ahu in 2017 but her quest for knowledge didn't stop there—she traveled to the sacred lands of Bali, Japan, Mongolia, and India to continue her studies and earn certifications in intuitive Balinese massage and Reiki, kundalini breathwork, gong sound healing, yin yoga, and trauma-informed yoga for the military community.
She has since assisted several yoga teacher trainings (200hr & 300hr) in Australia and has led yoga, meditation, and breathwork sessions at resorts, retreat centers, and conferences worldwide.
Winter earned her second 500-hr teaching certification in Kuala Tantra yoga while studying the tantric and shamanic arts at Durga's Tiger School in South America. She embraced her gift of clairaudience with the natural world and was initiated as a Tribal Detox Kambo practitioner in 2021. She now serves the powerful Amazonian frog medicine during private ceremonies at Crown Point Journeys.
Exciting expansion lies ahead, as Winter and her husband, Nick, are relocating to the eco-yoga community, Rise Costa Rica in the spring of 2024. They are currently building a ceremony house to host slow-living retreats.
Winter's ultimate mission is to help people find peace through simple living and daily spiritual practice.
