The Gentle Way of Hatha | Spring

Yoga Classes, In Person and Online Spring is always a strange time for yoga classes. Many people travel, or go away, and it has resulted in a lot of "partial" registrations. So, although the in-person classes are technically full, I often have drop-in spaces available on Wednesday evenings at 6:30pm ($20 per class). Online Yoga… Continue reading The Gentle Way of Hatha | Spring

When I first signed up for Instagram, I used it for all the things: yoga, art, mom life, nature... to capture all the things I love. However, I didn't like having "everything" so… Continue reading The Gentle Way of Hatha | Summer

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

Authentic Living

The thing about yoga, is it can change us. Through breathing, settling, grounding, moving, flowing, we slowly re-align ourselves physically, mentally, emotionally, and energetically.

Sometimes we abandon our yoga… Continue reading Authentic Living
