I am still floating with a heart full of joy from today’s gathering. It was everything I imagined it would be and more. With these beautiful souls sharing meditational music and soul songs was a vibeeeeee. 🎶🌀💜🙌🏽🎻🫶🥁🌈

Thank you to Amy who helped me co-facilitate, to my students and their caregivers for trusting me and to my friends who came and shared their music, love, energy and vibration.

☀️After an hour of jamming we circled around and folks shared how they felt….Connected. Safe. Free. Refreshed. Grateful. Easeful. Calm. Happy. Pleasantly Surprised and Marvelous, Amazing, Stupendous.

🤍At The Heart Space every one belongs! Be on the look out for more Soul Song events like this one (end of February or beginning of March).

🫶 Oh and PS SAVE. THE. DATE. March 20th opening day of our monthly Mindful Music in Riverfront park. We start @ 11am. All are welcome!

Come make Meditational Music and Soul Songs with us Saturday Jan 24th.
A beautiful community of hearts is emerging for this and I can feel the love already! 💕🎶✨🙏🏽☯️🌀🫶

Music and sound can deeply support regulation and connection, bringing us together into oneness and presence amongst all the division we are witnessing and experience out in the world.
💕🎶🎹🪘💗🌈
This is open to ALL people of ALL ages.
All my students, all my families and friends, all our followers.
ALL hearts can participate and benefit. No experience is necessary, in fact coming with a beginners mind will deeply support the journey.
🤍
We will tone our voices, sing some yoga songs and affirmations, drum and just make sacred soothing sounds together! I’ll have lots of instruments, even my beloved harmonium! Oh, and you are no required to sing! Just being open and with us is enough!
Think a mash up of kirtan/drum circle/song circle and then some!
🤍
Offered free, or by donation if you can.
All donations always benefit my program.

We will gather for about an hour but you can come and go as you need to. Studio will open at 10:45 to receive you and a little after 11am we will begin. We will likely end around noon!

His face says it all and I love him so much.
😅🫶🙃.
I give out presents each year to my students + it always includes our newest shirt design. This year when I gave Ang his shirt - He read what it said, he smiled and he immediately stripped off the tshirt he had on and redressed with this one (after removing all those annoying tags ofc! Iykyk!). The light in me sees the light you always buddy!

Yoga is so much more than moving your limbs & stretching on your mat. It’s more than sitting in meditation or following your breath. It’s more than what’s seen with the naked eye.

It’s how you show up and interact with your self (and all others). It’s connecting with the light within us, the emanating source that helps animate us. It’s felt sense and presence. It’s spiritual connection.

Yoga is a journey towards self realization. Everyone is on this journey in their own time and in their own way. So yoga is a practice. A practice of being. A practice you can keep coming back to in all stages of your journey.

Yoga helps us meet ourselves by encouraging us to reflect on three impactful questions:
Who am I? Why am I here? What is my purpose?

It’s more than any words could describe. Humbly, I don’t know all there is to know even after twenty plus years because Yoga is vast and deep and wide and encompasses more than one could know in this lifetime.

What I do know is that if you are seeking connection, relaxed community and some vibey musical meditation to help soothe your heart you should attend Kirtan at The Holding Space. The energy speaks for itself.

We are grateful to our friends (Karen Madi and Joe) at for always welcoming us in. Amy, Mitchel & Marcie joined me for the kirtan party and Amy even bravely volunteered to play with me!!! Last month Linny came and had the best time chanting…. Who knows which student will join me next time but maybe we will see you there?!?

We are taking a break from all Social Media platforms. And what better way to announce that than with a ripe delicious passion fruit I grew, sweet and sour - just like this social media space! The passionvine which grows happily in my NJ herbal garden is a reminder to slow down and rest … so here I go.

Why am I taking a break? Well, It’s hard to be here. It feels overwhelming and I want to use my time more wisely. I’ve said it for years… and This business is the only thing that’s kept me here to engage with folks seeking heart centered wellness But the platform continues to become more and more in-genuine and is completely overrun with fake, Ai generated videos. So I’m out, for now.

If you want to stay in touch I can be reached via phone or email (link in bio) and our website (TheHeartSpaceNJ.com) provides more Information about what we do and so much more.

Sending love and remember - it’s ok to step away from things that no longer serve you. 🤍
