"Not all of us can do great things, but we can all do small things with great love." - Mother Teresa - It's so easy to lose faith in people. To lose faith in the government, to lose faith in our legal or educational systems, to lose faith in god or a higher source/power... but… Continue reading Do Just One Thing

Divine Feminine
Today is Mother's Day, so it seems fitting to share my deeper healing of The Yoga Code workshop. My shift actually happened at the end of the workshop, which integrated overnight, and the next morning in my hotel room, I was flooded with insight and healing. As I journalled about the experience I kept hearing… Continue reading Divine Feminine
Workshop | A Journey Through Self Care
What soothes your soul? Refills your cup? What do you need to feel fulfilled? This is something I've been exploring over the last few months, and years. Especially since becoming a mother, it is way harder to put your own needs first. A hard lesson learned is: I can't pour from an empty cup! Since… Continue reading Workshop | A Journey Through Self Care
Creating Space
The cycles in my life always bring me back to this need to create space. Creative space. Breathing space. Personal space. As a mother who also works with kids and runs my own yoga business, there leaves little room for me. I spend most of my time and energy thinking about others, and how best… Continue reading Creating Space
Moving Beyond The Postures
Yes this is a yoga blog. It is my heart and my business. I am a certified yoga instructor, but am also a Child and Youth Worker. I came to yoga as a teenager, and it has helped me through many waves of life. As the tide rolls in and out, yoga is always there… Continue reading Moving Beyond The Postures
What’s Next?
The mind is a wild thing. The first paragraph of the Yoga Sutras says: "Yoga is the settling of the mind into silence. When the mind has settled, we are established in our essential nature, which is unbounded consciousness. Our essential nature is usually overshadowed by the activity of the mind." (translation by Alistair Shearer)… Continue reading What’s Next?
The View From Here
As I sit here typing, coffee by my side, a grey Tuesday morning, I realize this is my first day of summer. A sense of potential hangs in the air, and some anticipation of the unknown that lies ahead... Time to nurture my spirit and renew my energy. Full-time mom and full-time work is a… Continue reading The View From Here
This is me, on Yoga.
Here goes my ego-post of the century. I posted this image of myself on Facebook the other night, and it had a multitude of 'likes' and comments. It was a great ego-boost as my self-esteem has done a serious nose-dive since child bearing... Being a mom has destroyed every last ounce of confidence I once… Continue reading This is me, on Yoga.
No Human Being Is Worthless
"I'm not afraid of dying. Sometimes I'm more afraid of living." I am reading a book called "In The Realm Of Hungry Ghosts" by Gabor Maté. The quote above is from one of his clients. It makes my mind race with words: Addiction. Suicide. Depression. Self-harm. We all suffer. Perhaps some just hide it better then others.… Continue reading No Human Being Is Worthless
Strive For Wholeness
A part of my journey through life has been to find wholeness. Yoga has helped bring me to a place in my awareness where wholeness is accepting ourselves and our lives exactly as they are. Much of the work I have done, on myself and others, I would define as 'healing' work. However as I… Continue reading Strive For Wholeness
