Self-care Sunday half day retreat was just what I needed. Thank you to @racheltarvinyoga for doing this with @joellegordoncoaching . What a beautiful experience to have shared with you and the group. This set the foundation for my upcoming week which will be focused on: my self care, getting clear on my mission and the little kiddos with whom I nanny. I know the only way my students and littles will benefit from my presence is when Im releasing anything that dims my shine and

Cultivation of a consistent yoga practice can reduce the effects of stress in your life. I know this to be true because I have been practicing Yoga since 2003ish. A lot of people just say they don't have the time. Well I challenge you to ask yourself if running your life with zero time for self care is serving your best interest. Most likely, in your heart....you know it isn't. How can you carve out time for your self-care to make it more consistent? When you make yourself

Moment of bliss brought to you by the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra, chanting this is said to be one of the easiest ways to find Self Relization. Rough translation: Hare= the energy of Divine Oneness. Krishna and Ram= names of the Divine/God. This chant calls the Divine in to clear away whatever is stuck between you and the remembering of your true nature... which is love! Anyone can chant this at anytime, in a group or alone. I've been personally working with this so thought

This week in classes I am talking about fear and how it stands in the way of our true nature, which is love. I used to be scared to be my most authentic self, that people would judge me or not like me. Now I stand firmly like a mountain in the most awesome version of myself. Why? Because this is the work and this is how one lives their purpose- by facing fear of not being/having enough and fully embracing the totality of who they are in this life- which is a gift. The bigge

This upcoming week in classes we will take a look at fear, or Abhinivesa, which is the 5th and final Hindrance of the Mind spoken about in the Yoga Sutras. Death is partners with Life....so why live in fear of the inevitable?! Learn to live in appreciation for each and every moment you are gifted with life. 🌟🕉🦋🕉🌟 Side note: Happy 8/8 Lion's Gate Portal activation. How are you celebrating? I have been working with the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra, you can pretty much see

You have to let go of who you once were to be who you could be... a better version not stuck in the darkness, pain, judgment, and resentment. Those things you mustn't carry with you. In acctuality you mustn't carry anything at all. You must learn to let go and be at one with nature. Carry only a peace with you, no matter the circumstance. When life shows you where you are still stuck, be thankful for the awareness, treat yourself with loving kindness and compassion, do

Music has always been a healing tool I've used in my journey. Pictured here are lyrics from a song on this week's class playlist. During more recent years I have begun being extremely mindful about the music I listen to and have shifted towards more inspiring and spiritual music. Adding music to a physical yoga practice can assist a person with getting out of their head and into the moment. It's an option I offer to go along with classes, a Spotify playlist on theme. This

This week in classes I am talking about the 4th Hindrance of the Mind, Dvesa or aversion. This is the part of us that resists or pushes away things we don't like. What if we lived with a mind that neither attempted to hold onto or push anything away? Perhaps it would bring a contentment over your being that would make it feel like you are perpetually hugging a unicorn.... or not, just a thought since I found this drawing on my detoured walk this evening. A little reminder

With all of my heart I believe that each individual can make a contribution to creating a better world. It begins with each person learning first how to care for and love themselves. This is what Yoga gave me and why I teach it- it literally lays out a path for liberation of the Soul Self. When a human lives in the shadow of the noise the mind makes it is hard and sometimes impossible to remember the Spirit that lives within. However, if one learns how to start shining the

When we hold things lightly and live unattached to expectation and judgments we are more in tune with the nature all around us.  When on the yoga mat a student starts first with noticing where they are attached to expectations about their body, poses or experience and eventually over time that awareness trickles into their life. Attachment to things, beliefs and feelings will ultimately leave a person feeling stuck. Letting go of that which we hold so tightly gives the mind f

What is Attachment? Why should we live unattached to things?

This week in classes I am talking about Raga or Attachment. We are all attached to things. Some things we attach to inspire us- such as a physical asana practice or a close relationship with a family member or friend. These things we attach to will change over time. The physical body at 40+years in asana is not the same as it was in the 20's. If one attaches to the practice needing to be the same- suffering and possibly injury occurs. The challenge is to allow the practice to
