If it’s been on your mind… maybe that’s your soul whispering it’s meant to be.

This is your chance to:
🌊 Wake up to yoga + meditation in nature
🧖‍♀️ Restore in the indoor-outdoor spa
🍇 Savor local + nourishing meals
🌅 Explore seaside towns + national park meditations

✨ Nourish Your Light ✨
The summer solstice passed just a few days ago—reminding us of the power of light, the beauty of turning inward, and the invitation to remember who we really are.

In my classes this month, we’ve been exploring Purusha—the eternal, unchanging self that exists beneath all roles, titles, and emotions.

It’s the you that remains steady through every storm.

Right now, the world holds so much—heartache and beauty, challenge and blessing.

But there are still rays of light shining through.

Moments of connection, courage, and hope.

And we need more of them.
More of you—rooted, resourced, and radiant.

This is the time to nourish the light within you. To rest. To remember. To realign with your essence.
So you can show up with presence, compassion, and strength in a world that deeply needs your light.

That’s what the retreats I lead are for: sacred pauses in breathtaking places to reset your nervous system, replenish your soul, and reawaken your purpose.

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:

🌟 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 .

This week was the autumn equinox—a moment of perfect balance between day and night across the globe—it’s an ideal time to pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself through mindful breathing.

The equinox represents a mirror of our lives. Balance is possible, but it’s not something easily maintained, nor does it last indefinitely. Just like seasonal shifts, our lives naturally sway from one direction to the next, and true balance emerges through these fluctuations and adjustments.

As we seek balance, it’s important to remember to be compassionate with ourselves. Balance isn’t about perfection; it’s about honoring where we are in the moment. There are times when we feel off-center, and that’s okay. The journey towards balance is ongoing, and being kind to yourself during moments of imbalance is just as essential as striving to find equilibrium.

One of the most powerful tools for finding that balance is pranayama, our breath, or expansion of life force in Sanskrit. It offers an immediate transformation in body, mind, and spirit, anchoring us along our journey, no matter where it leads.

In yoga, our breath helps us to both navigate poses on the mat and move through our everyday lives, acting as a bridge between our body and mind. As we transition into a new season, focusing on mindful breathing offers a simple, yet profound way to find peace, balance, and a deeper connection to our true selves. Conscious breathing helps us to connect to compassion for ourselves—allowing space for growth, imperfection, and grace.
