Awakend Joy ~ Begins Saturday April 4th

Are you curious about the deeper meaning of yoga?

Lately, it can feel like the world is a bit tilted… like we’re all moving through a constant Dance of Chaos. In times like these, yoga becomes so much more than movement on a mat—it becomes a path back to steadiness, clarity, and connection.

Yoga is about remembering who you are beneath the noise. It’s about learning how to breathe through uncertainty, finding balance when everything feels off-center, and creating space for both strength and softness.

If you’ve been craving a deeper sense of grounding, or wondering how to stay centered in the midst of it all, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

Join me as we explore the deeper layers of yoga—beyond poses, beyond expectations, and into something truly transformative.

Let’s find center together.

Offering , a Living Practice to navigate a world out of sorts—

Uncertain in ways that are hard to name, yet impossible to ignore. Navigating each day to the best of our ability.

Groundwork Essential~ Gentle Reminders

Yamas and Niyamas—the ethical and personal practices of yoga that gently guide us back to steadiness.

Ahimsa (non-harming) reminds me to lead with compassion, especially when tensions run high.

Satya (truthfulness) invites honesty—with others, but also within myself.

Asteya (non-stealing) encourages respect for time, energy, and boundaries.

Brahmacharya (moderation) helps me find balance instead of burnout.

Aparigraha (non-grasping) teaches me to loosen my grip on what I cannot control.

And then the Niyamas—
Saucha (purity) asks me to clear space, both physically and mentally.

Santosha (contentment) reminds me that peace can exist even now.

Tapas (discipline) fuels steady, intentional effort.

Svadhyaya (self-study) encourages reflection and growth.

Ishvara Pranidhana (surrender) invites trust in something greater than myself.

These aren’t just ancient ideas—they feel like a quiet roadmap for living with more clarity, kindness, and resilience in uncertain times.

The Path of Curiosity, and the root of Inquiry. (long post)

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to be a student and attend a Yoga Class. This was extra special for me, as my daughter and her friend also attended the class. This became a moment of creating a beautiful memory with her. One not earmarked by pictures but by experience. I held this experience close to my heart all day.

It's rare for me to attend a class due to my schedule. Each time I practice, and can be led by another, it has a high impact on me. My energy is instantly elevated, and my mood shifts. This time, It was also a good reminder for me, as the studio was packed mat-to-mat. What my students might experience when we are full to capacity.

The drive home became a drive of reflection and contemplation. The hour back home encompassed a range of emotions.

As life does, it offered me an opportunity to take a birds-eye view. As Tias, would say.

In landing, I was silent. I observed others in the Joy of connecting in this space. And I smiled, as I see this often in our space. My studio,long ago, was silent, and now it is a community gathering.

Some started to practice, and one was worried about everyone being on the right circle with the mat. One, who does not like it when it is crowded. Her frustration was palpable. I could feel all of it. As we begin, the sounds of the loud breathers, who have not been corrected, the smells of those who may just have come from another workout, or simply do not understand the approach to the practice, is to enter clean. The one beside you, who is taking up more space to ensure she gets what she wants out of practice, with no awareness or maybe interest in making space for another. Those who enter late, with the expectation that you should make room for them. The ones in the back, who simply do what they want. Not aware of how this affects the whole.

My arms tremble from lack of personal discipline over the winter months. And I must remind myself, I am here. I made time in my day, and I am here.

There is a saying, it's all the practice. All of it.

For me, this is the Great Arena. The one I chose over and over to play and learn in. With all the edges included, it is still, to this day, after 20-plus years, liberation.

What a day ! The song of birds, the smell of the air. So clean and fresh. I feel my body lighten, and the breath deepen. The later part of February, always a very difficult time for me. Today, feels like a much anticipated turning point. I am feeling so grateful for our surroundings.

Class last night, whew was a bit unexpectedly spicy! I am feeling it. It was absolutely Joyful, to leave class , with the light within us and now for the first time since November. We made an exit to the light. So needed.

Thursday at 4:45, 2 spots left
Saturday at 8:30, 2 spots left.

The Upcoming Immersion~ A Living Practice
Begins Saturday April 4th

I am often drawn to images, in creating content. And this image of the peacock feels rather strong. The peacock represents transformation.

The Yamas & Niyamas, offer us transformation and lead us to experiencing more Embodied Joy. Even , in a time of uncertainty.

An Example of Tapas in action to experience more Joy.

A Daily Gratitude practice, write down 5 ,8 or 10 things. See, look, or choose to walk through your home and acknowledge 5,8 or 10 things before your day Begins. No phone. Start with practice. Start with, what do you want to put in motion for the day, and what are the experiences you wish to participate in.

TAPAS ~ is often translated as inner fire, discipline, or the heat(can be experienced as discomfort) that creates change. It represents the willingness to sit with discomfort and consciously transform old patterns.

Tapas, is the energy of transformation. Just as the peacock transforms what it consumes into something vibrant and beautiful, the practice of Tapas invites us to work with the raw material of our lives and transform it into greater awareness, compassion, and integrity and JOY.

Hi Friends,

I often feel a pang of cringe 😕 when marketing my classes. For this, I apologize if it ever feels as if I am not paying attention to the world outside of the studio.
I understand the world feels upside down, and many days do not make sense. The struggle, for me, is my practice asks of me to not look away at the injustice, the abuse, and the disgusting behaviors of our administration.

I am, Aware, but doing my best to not allow the darkness that permeates on Social media feeds, reflecting snippets of what is unfolding. That same darkness becomes energetically palpable in our nervous system. Truth, be told. Some days, my nervous system does not allow me to bear witness. It asks me instead to look for Good, play with my grandchildren (so many games of Go Fish!!), and, moment by moment, receive the snippets of Joy this precious life has to offer.

My little ones, in a moment, can make me rejoice in the Gratitude that they are so close by. My children continue to nurture my soul and remind me daily of the blessings of being called Mom.

So some days, my friends, all I have in me is ~

Class this evening at 4:45 | Space is available
Saturday at 8;30 only a few spots remain.

And some days, I have a bit more to offer..

My best days are the days I get to teach. I know, I will be with people full of heart and compassion. A community we call Sangha. These wonderful human beings also make me laugh and rejoice in the gift of teaching.

Look for the Good.( Mr. Rogers' mum)
