Umair Asn - Intensive Teacher
A four time T&P veteran since 2018. I know things about electrical engineering, patent law, myofascial release products, and deep relational work. I love the sun. I’m told life is short. I appreciate kindness. I care about everyone and everything. I would like the world to sit in stillness, together. Before I die, I want to accept myself and the life I lived. Fear of failing keeps me up at night. I see beauty all around me. I hear a composition in the morning sounds of birds. I feel closest to God when I am high on Mountain.
