A breath of fresh air 🌲❄️☀️

Hanna here with a little love letter to your nervous system 🌺

If you went from “fresh start” to “full speed” in about five minutes… you’re not alone.

Try this 60-second reset:

Inhale softly.
Exhale slower than you inhaled.

Ask: What’s true for me right now?
✨ Let it be simple. No fixing. Just an honest check-in.

Then: Where do I feel that in my body?
🤍 Steadiness might feel like heavier feet
🩵 Belonging might feel like a warmer chest
💙 Clarity might feel like an easier breath

This is the heart of 1:1 yoga therapy, too. We make space for clarity to arrive, like a breath of fresh air moving through you.

For now: keep it simple. One breath. One moment. 💗

With love,
Hanna ❤️

P.S. My 1:1 session rate changes Feb 10 as I graduate. If you’d like to book at the current rate, use code THERAPY50 for 50% off before then. (Link in bio)

As the new year begins, many of us feel the quiet call to begin again.

Not dramatically. Not by becoming someone else.

But by remembering who we already are—beneath the noise and expectations.

We’ve watched hundreds of students join our 200-Hour Teacher Training, thinking they’re here to “learn yoga” or “get a certificate”…

And what unfolds is something much deeper.
This is The Hero’s Journey.
Not perfect poses. Not scripts.
But self-inquiry, healing, and transformation, empowerment.

Yes, you can become a certified yoga teacher.

But more importantly, you become
more present
more grounded
more connected.

And you know what the magic is? The community.
A global community walking the path together.

✨ On-demand + self-paced (start anytime).
✨ 30-day free trial (no pressure, no risk, link in bio)

If your heart is calling you to begin again… we’d love to walk with you.
Hanna & Happy Jack 💛

Stepping into 2026 with very full, grateful hearts 💗

Before rushing ahead, we just want to pause and say thank you — for practicing with us, learning with us, and walking this path together. 💛

✨ A few 2025 highlights:

• The first-ever Bhakti Yoga Conference at Harvard
• Expanding Happy Jack Yoga University to 30+ courses
• Deeply nourishing retreats in West Virginia & Mother India

🌱 Looking ahead to 2026:

• The Bhakti Yoga Conference returns (Harvard + Oxford + online!)
• Four new courses already in the works
• Yoga retreats in West Virginia, Canada & India

We love that this community feels less like an audience and more like family.

So grateful to be on this journey with you. 🌍✨

With love,
Hanna & Happy Jack 💛

Hi ❤️ Hanna here, sending a hug to your nervous system 🥰

The day after the big day can feel…tender. Sometimes sweet. Sometimes heavy. Sometimes you’re fine until you’re suddenly not. If you feel wrung out, extra emotional, or a bit blank — that’s not a personal failing. That’s your system recovering.

Try this “decompression” practice (2 minutes):

🤍 Shake out your hands for 15 seconds (like flicking water off).
🤍 Press your feet into the floor and feel the contact points.
🤍 Place one hand to heart: whisper “I am right here” 💗

So many of us learned to override our needs to keep the peace, keep others comfortable, and selflessly contribute. Yet, it takes a toll.

Yoga therapy is a gentle noticing: you start registering your signals— and responding with care instead of criticism.

If you’re in a season of change (family shifts, health stuff, relationship questions, grief, identity “who am I now?” moments), support can be like having a steady handrail. Not advice-giving — more like embodied mentorship: space to feel, clarify, and choose your next step from your deeper self.

If you’re craving support and connection, you’ll be welcome in the new group yoga therapy circle I’m preparing. More details soon!

But, for now: drink water. go slow. let your body land. ❤️

With love,
Hanna ❤️

Hi love ❤️ Hanna here 💕 Today is the Solstice—the turning point when daylight increases ✨ And if you’ve been tired, tender, or quietly carrying more than anyone can see… you’re not behind. You’re human. This season can feel loud on the outside while something inside you just wants less.

Here’s a a 60 second practice for today:

❤️ Put one hand on your heart
🩷 Exhale slowly like you’re fogging a mirror
💖 Ask yourself: “What would feel supportive right now?”

Then choose the smallest version of that.
💙 One glass of water
🤍One no.
💗 One five-minute lie-down
❤️ One loving message to a friend

This is the heart of yoga therapy: not pushing through—but listening in.

When you have someone beside you in that listening, things shift faster and more gently. Patterns become understandable. Transitions become less lonely. Grief becomes more breathable. You stop doing it all alone.

If you’re craving private support, you know I’m right here. No pressure—just an open door.

For today, let it be simple: turn toward what’s true, and be kind to it.

With deep love,
Hanna ❤️

Today I’m celebrating my 50th birthday — and to my own surprise, what I really want this year is to spend the day mostly alone. 😱
Not in loneliness, but in contemplation.

I’m dedicating this day to a ceremony of gratitude… for my life, for every chapter that shaped me, and for the person I’ve become. A moment to celebrate my journey.

I’ll reflect on what I’m ready to leave behind as I step into this next decade, and on what I want to cultivate as I continue to grow and evolve.

Inspired by my dear friend Sandra, I ordered a beautiful nightie to wear for my ceremony. I love the idea of a birthday in PJs and woolly socks..! 💃

I’ll light candles, decorate with flowers, open a new journal, and brew some amazing tea. There will be a yoga mat involved, radiance, soft soundscapes, movement, and meditation — all steeped in gratitude.

Thank you for being part of my life — in ways seen and unseen.
Your presence, your messages, your support, and your shared moments of vulnerability and joy have enriched my journey more than you know.

With love and gratitude,
Happy Hanna 🌺

P.S. If you’d like to celebrate this season — and who you have become — you might enjoy a winter contemplation or your own little ceremony. I’ll share some of my journaling prompts in the pictures so you can explore your inner landscape. Do this on the darkest day of the year (December 21), New Year’s Eve, or any time you feel your sacred moment arrive

Last month was one of the most fulfilling and soul-nourishing experiences of our lives.

Forty-two yogis from six continents joined us for a sacred pilgrimage to Mother India.

For many, it was their first visit to India—and for all, their first experience of .

From the moment we arrived, the devotional atmosphere, the warmth of the residents, and the spiritual potency of the ecovillage touched everyone in a way that will stay with us forever.

Our yogis came with open hearts—hungry to learn, receptive to the teachings, and eager to experience the deeper roots of yoga beyond the physical practice.

From sunrise meditations to kirtans under the stars, from heartfelt satsang circles to transformative conversations over meals, they embraced every moment with sincerity and joy.

What unfolded was not simply a retreat, but a living experience of connection, devotion, and inner transformation.

Each day, we gathered for morning yoga and afternoon satsang circles—the heartbeat of Happy Jack Yoga.

Yet what made this pilgrimage extraordinary was everything woven around these daily practices.

We experienced the depth of life at GEV, revealing layers of beauty, purpose, and devotion that make this place so unique.

A great honor was our time with , who shared the divine journey behind the creation of GEV.

And perhaps the most unforgettable moments were with His Holiness , whose presence softened hearts in ways our students will remember for the rest of their lives.

The week culminated in an ecstatic flower festival that left us in awe—many said they had never experienced such pure joy, beauty, and devotion all at once. 🌸

These moments helped shape a life-changing pilgrimage that will ripple through our community for years to come.

Half of the yogis have already enrolled for our 2026 GEV Retreat, and several feel inspired to bring loved ones next time.

We are deeply grateful to Radhanath Swami, who has been so loving and encouraging of our community as we take our early steps into bhakti yoga.
