I offer private lessons to groups or individuals in various aspects of yoga (physical/asana, breathwork/pranayama, guided meditation) and Ayurveda (holistic lifestyle guidance for your physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing/dosha). If you cannot afford individual private lessons and do not

have a group of friends who will gather for yoga, I can try to bring you into another group, so don't hesitate to contact me! I teach various styles of yoga, including prenatal yoga, Hatha, Vinyasa, and yoga nidra. I do employee wellness programs that include yoga, stress management, and team building programs. Packages are designed to meet the needs of your office. If you are delivering your baby in Uganda and would like someone to help you find resources, build a birth plan, and be present at your birth to encourage you, comfort you, remind you how awesome and strong and capable you are, feed and water you, talk through any unexpected changes to your birth plan, generally support you (and your partner) however you want, and help you stay present and focused throughout the birth of your treasured little one, let's meet!

I’m about to enter a cocoon of silence at a 10 day Vipassana retreat. I’ll be completely offline and incommunicado until 26 Nov. Wish me, my body, my mind, and my heart lots of kindness 💗
Who has done a similar retreat? Any advice for my re-entry to the big loud busy talking world?

I keep thinking about how healing nature is.
How nature heals itself.
How we, the human species, have forgotten that we are nature.
We are not better than, separate from, or above nature.
We are part it, in it, of it.
And if we can remember we are nature, integrate our minds and bodies back into the system, then we can continue the journey with nature by healing and being healed in relationship with her.
Or, eventually our toxic presence will be purged and nature will continue without us. The earth has survived through the extinction of so many species, it honestly amuses me that humans think we are the exception.

If you happen through Iowa, I highly recommend Hitchcock Nature Center! Especially useful if you want to test out or train up in your backcountry skills/equipment, with backcountry campsites less than a mile from the parking lot. It was a beautiful and refreshing stop on my journey to the east coast.

Has a rock, a branch, a patch of grass, ever beckoned you to come and rest? Did you heed the call?

I haven’t gotten into the mountains much this summer because I was recovering from a surgery. I was feeling grateful for this foray, but also feeling the struggle in this short hike after so little exercise the past few months (honestly I wasn’t too disappointed about cutting my hike a little short when a biker who passed me a moment before came back and informed me he had just encountered a bear).

When this stone called out to weary me to come enjoy the view and rest a moment, at first I responded “that lovely nook is too high, a can’t climb up there.”
But it urged me to try. My first approach proved unsuccessful, but from a different angle it was a breeze.
I sat, and the stone said “No silly, lie down.”
And I discovered my new favorite asana (for now): legs up the stone wall. It was sublime!

I’m so grateful for this moment of nature’s quiet (wind blowing through trees, birds chirping, insects buzzing) and solitude. Aren’t hammocks one of the greatest things humans thought up?

In these moments, sometimes I read or journal or stare at the sky. Sometimes I turn things over in my brain and heart. Sometimes I give space for feelings I couldn’t find or make space for before.

In this moment, I’m coming from a refreshing meet up with 2 beautiful friends who are teachers. I know that there’s always a degree of privilege in being able to push events and their impact aside, and I’ve had that privilege this week after the shootings in Uvalde and Buffalo. Just because I’m not a teacher or a parent or a relative or a neighbor does not mean these shootings don’t impact me in a real and intimate way. I can list a ton of reasons why, but they all come down to the fact that everything on this planet is interdependent, the well-being of any one is connected to the well being of every other.

It can be so discouraging to feel disempowered, like try as you might you couldn’t possibly affect real change. And maybe we won’t in the limited timelines we tend to think of, but one thing is certain:

The only change that ever comes started in someone’s imagination. All change is innovation, is the end of something, and is inevitable.

So we must dream,
and we must share our dreams,
and in sharing them we will find others who are dreaming things that improve upon our own, and others who are dreaming of things that may make our dreams real,
and we’ll find strength and courage in that sharing,
we’ll find ways to take action,
and when things seem to fail, we’ll find the support to grieve and then carry on again.

Anyone else think there is magic in water?
Or maybe the magic is when water, earth, air, and light play together.
Either way, I’m enjoying watching the dance happening in this stream, and I’m loving witnessing the waking of nature this sunny spring day! Even the big ol’ black bear that told me to turn around and cut my hike short because she had her own spring business to attend to! 😅
Frozen water is flowing again, green shoots and flowers are springing from the earth, and days are getting warmer. I hadn’t really been outside in a few days, and wow does it feel good!☀️
