✨Honored. Grateful. Excited.✨

I am beyond thrilled to share that I’ll be part of the Prema Yoga Teacher Training Program beginning this February. 🌿

To be included in this incredible faculty and community put together by the amazing is such a gift. Prema has always been a home for deep practice, soulful connection, authentic and experienced teaching, and I can’t wait to support the next generation of teachers as they explore the journey of diving deeply into yoga, meditation, philosophy, breathing, Ayurveda and themselves.

If you’ve been feeling the call to deepen your practice, expand your knowledge, connect with yourself and like-minded people and immerse yourself in the many limbs that make up yoga, this training is a truly transformative path.

🪷 You can learn more about the program by visiting premayogabrooklyn.com/evolutionofyoga or send me a DM.

Peace, gratitude & love ☮️🙏🏼💜

✨ Faith. Focus. Surrender. ✨

This September, I’ve been reflecting on three guiding principles from yoga and Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist:

🌿 Śraddhā (faith): trusting your path has meaning.
🌿 Dhāraṇā (concentration): focusing your energy where it matters most.
🌿 Īśvarapraṇidhāna (surrender): handing it all over to something greater — God, nature, humanity, or the universe.

I felt these truths deeply on an amazing and beautiful recent journey to Mallorca where I taught and shared yoga, breathing, life guidance, support and more at a family friend’s wedding. I also had the chance to live life in full color flowing on a paddleboard and swimming and boating into coves, journaling under the Mediterranean sky, explore the breathtaking island looking for the perfect place for a retreat (found it!), and even sharing dinner with an amazing Olympic bobsledder who reminded me of the resilience we all carry (and invited me to see her compete one day : ).

What struck me most? That surrender is not just letting go… it’s also opening up our channels of energy to let in. Opening to connection, grace, and the signs of the universe guiding us forward.

💫 Coelho calls them omens.
The question is: are we listening?

✨Reflection for You

✨ Trust in faith?
✨ Sharpen your focus?
✨ Practice surrender?

VULNERABILITY ALERT: I arrived at my Portugal retreat with tremendous pain radiating down my back and leg, unsure if I’d even be able to teach the way I normally do.

And yet… it became one of the most healing, transformational weeks of my life.

Not because I “powered through,” but because I surrendered to what was. I slowed down. I softened. I opened. I trusted.

And what I found underneath the pain…

was joy, delight, and the hope of a new chapter unfolding.

The injury that once felt like a setback became a sacred teacher that showed me how to meet myself and my students in a new way.

More honest. More attuned. More human.

I taught from a quieter, more grounded place — and what unfolded was powerful beyond words.

We cried. We danced. We moved with strength and with softness.
We celebrated life and healed wounds together.

One of my students wrote:

“Ruah creates more than just a yoga retreat — she holds space for true transformation, deep connection, and meaningful self-discovery.”

Honestly, these words humble me. Yet, I felt this shift from being in the experience with everyone too.

A full-body, full-heart reset.

🕊️ And now… I invite you with an open heart to join me for the next one.

As we transition deeper into Kapha season—Ayurveda’s time of earth and water—I’m reminded that this is nature’s invitation to both ground and grow.
Kapha governs the heart, lungs, and lymph—when in balance, it gives us the strength to love deeply, breathe fully, and move steadily. But when out of balance, it can feel like sluggish mornings, heaviness in the body, and a sense of stuckness.
That’s why I’m leaning into what Ayurveda teaches:
✨ When we move our bodies + breathe deeply, we clear what’s heavy.
✨ When we pause + nourish, we bloom again.
Here’s what’s blooming now in my world—and where we can connect:
📿 RETREATS
→ Portugal | July 5–11, 2025 | Few spots left
→ Croatia | Oct 19–24, 2025 | Transformation + adventure
→ Senegal | April 2026 | Details coming soon!
📣 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT
→ I’m honored to be teaching at the Bryant Park Yoga Festival
🗓 Tues, Aug 5 @ 10AM — Join me under the NYC sky!

If your energy feels a little stuck right now, remember:
Kapha needs warmth, movement, and connection.
I hope you’ll join me in setting an intention for spring rooted in compassion, strength & clarity.

🌟 From Darkness to Light: A New Year’s Reflection 🌟

As 2025 begins, I’ve been reflecting on this past year—a time of contrasts, challenges, and growth. From recovering after fibroid surgery to navigating personal and global struggles, I’ve been reminded that light and dark always coexist.

My mom shared a beautiful thought often quoted by Jimmy Carter: We can only see stars in the darkness of the night sky. Life’s challenges teach us to truly appreciate its beauty and light.

💛 Healing Is Not a Straight Line
Recovery taught me patience and self-awareness (svadhyaya). Some days, I leaned into gentle movement. Other days, I rested completely, honoring both effort (sthirum) and surrender (vairagya). Healing is a journey, not a race, and every small step matters.

✨ Looking Ahead with Intention
🌿 Portugal Retreat (July 5–11): Yoga, meditation, and connection
🌊 Croatia Retreat (Oct 2025): Renewal by the Adriatic Sea
🌴 Senegal Retreat (March 2026): Culture and mindfulness

💫 Save the Date: Feb 8
⭐️ Manifest Goals Workshop (3–6 PM): Yoga, meditation & goal-setting
⭐️ Meditation & Potluck Dinner (6–9 PM): Connection & intention

DM me to join! Space is limited.

🙏 “Asatoma Sadgamaya, Tamasoma Jyotirgamaya.”
“Lead me from darkness to light.”

May we all carry resilience, gratitude, and light into 2025. Wishing you and your loved ones a happy, healthy, and meaningful new year! 💛

Ruah Veda Vata season is ready for your holiday gifts and travel! DM me if you want me to save you a bottle or five!

I always love traveling with mine to share as a gift and to spray on the plane and my pillow wherever I’m sleeping. It’s a direct connection to complete clarity, relaxation, rest and a smile. For those of you familiar with the sun in my class, consider considerate a direct transportation to svasana.❤️✨

In case you need some extra strength to get through today, I just uploaded my daily Amazing Abs & Strong Core routine that I filmed on the last day of my Portugal yoga retreat to my channel.

Good morning, beautiful people! Election

Praying today is our chance to root ourselves in hope, spark real change, and open up to the future we want to see. Kamala Harris has a clear vision to lead with heart, courage, and a genuine commitment to creating a better path forward for us all and I’m praying and crossing my fingers and toes that enough people in our country see this too. I’m praying that whatever the outcome is we can pave a way forward where everyone in our country can be supported to thrive and find peace .
