"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.

An Act of Self-Love
During class recently, it came to me that yoga is such a generous gift we give ourselves: a simple act of self-love. Even if it's just a few minutes a day, or an hour or two a week, it is a place to land. To return to. To return to ourselves. To return to love.… Continue reading An Act of Self-Love
Unwavering Gentleness
In my 20 years of yoga experience, I still do not consider myself an expert. There is always so much to learn and explore, and the yoga world seems to be forever evolving through different styles and trends. So why do I teach gentle yoga? I came to yoga in 1997. I was 17 years… Continue reading Unwavering Gentleness
Over 20 Years of Yoga
Today was a fun day. I started unpacking Rubbermaid bins I hadn't opened in about 6 years. I re-discovered the old yoga teacher training notes, from my personal training and from the teacher training I designed and guided. I found my old portfolio with the Child and Youth Worker diploma, and my reiki and… Continue reading Over 20 Years of Yoga
Seane Corn | My Continued Awakening
I have not written a "personal blog" in a very long time. It's making me feel unusually vulnerable and uncomfortable, yet the inner work I did this weekend with Seane Corne is worth sharing. The two hour workshop I attended on Sunday was called "The Yoga of Awakening" and although Seane had a variety of… Continue reading Seane Corn | My Continued Awakening

The self-care workshop was designed to simply give women a day to… Continue reading Calm In The Chaos
The Body’s Wisdom

The body is the voice of the nervous system." -Christine Lee, Introduction to Somatic Therapy Workshop In my yoga classes, I often have students reflect on the feelings of their bodies and to tune in deeper to the organs and nervous system. We use awareness… Continue reading The Body’s Wisdom
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
Montreal | The Yoga Code
So... I love freedom. I love travel. I love yoga... and I especially love yoga philosophy. In fact, I came to my "asana" practice years after first dabbling in meditation and reading a variety of books on eastern philosophies and religions... When I was training teachers for The Gentle Way of Hatha in 2013 I… Continue reading Montreal | The Yoga Code
20 More Reasons To Do Yoga
One year ago, I had the bright idea to publish one blog a week, for one year, totalling 50 reasons to do yoga in 2015. Early in the year my computer crashed, making the weekly blog an impossible commitment. By the time I got a new computer, I was four months behind on my 50… Continue reading 20 More Reasons To Do Yoga
