New on YouTube!
New Moon Yoga Nidra to Nurture the Self
It's been a challenge for me to create and post new yoga Nidra and hypnotherapy recordings on YouTube, with settling into the new rhythms of life with my little one and new roles.
I did it! And I feel so inspired to do more. I love reading all of your comments, and this one felt potent to share. A beautiful reflection from someone in the community, that it sounds like I have 'fully arrived in my true self'. When I read this, it resonated in my body and heart as a knowing, yes, this is true. I do feel that motherhood has changed me, and in the most wonderful ways. A welcomed rise and descension into the sacred wisdom of NURTURE.
'Nurture the self' is the theme of this Yoga Nidra, as this is also a huge theme that I find arises in my psychotherapy practice. So many of us are restoring basic needs of nurture that may have been lacking or harmed in some way throughout childhood/ life.
Please find the link in my bio if you are called to practice nurturing the self! You are worthy!!
With Love,
Tiina

This October I am guiding a Restorative Yoga series inside the online studio using the Yamas and Niyamas to deepen awareness and self inquiry. The yamas and niyamas are the first two limbs of Ashtanga: the eight limbed path. They can seem like ethical codes but deepening into them can reveal much more. They can spark an inner knowing of Self, describing a nature of connection, and serve as an internal compass that directs you home to yourself and supports interconnection with others and the world.
We have a two week free trial, link in my bio! I would love to welcome you to this series!
The live classes are Wednesdays 1pm EST but replays are always available and we have over 500 classes and workshops for you to explore in the library! Come join us and be welcomed home!!

Being her mama is by far the best thing I have ever experienced. It's not lost on me what a privilege and blessing it is to be a mother to a babe, after 7 + years fertility struggles, several close calls, the one embryo, traumatic birth, I could go on..... While I give thanks and praises for my sweet love, my heart goes out to all of you who struggle on mother's day, for whatever reason. Having lost my own mom too. Let's all be held in the lap of the divine mother and let Her carry us home. I love you and I see you. 🙏🙏💕💗

Last sauna of the year. Happy to be having a solstice sauna with my beloved friends today, as we do the final winterizing and packing of our homestead before travels begin.
I grew up without running water or electricity, out in the bush in northwestern ontario. We had saunas every night, either at our place or somewhere else, as so many of our relatives had saunas too. I always feel that it is a special ritual, saunas have a way of baring all, while safe and held in sacred space.... steam and heat and eucalyptus and birch oil and pond or lake or snow plunges.... the very best. I also feel my mother's spirit whenever I sauna... she loved saunas and I reflect on my dad's unconditional love for us .... he tirelessly lit the stove nearly every night.
Sauna Tontu, the protector elf... always gets the last steam.
Grateful for the friends who love to sauna with us! It's sooo good!
Our friends in the garden. Meet the Hummingbird moth/ Hawk moth. This is why you shouldn't kill your Tomatoe Horn Worms, as they become these magnificent creatures. Just plant some extra plants/ tomatoes.
