Join Alyson and me for -Mojo's third annual Spring Women’s Retreat in the breathtaking Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, held at the serene and sacred ~ Moon Rising Retreat Center. May 14-17th, 2026!!

This spring, we gather to slow down and immerse ourselves in the nourishing energy of the mountains. The Spirit of the Mountains Yoga Retreat offers a chance to step away from daily responsibilities, technology, and noise, and enter a space of gentleness, peace, and deep connection.

Nestled within the healing landscape of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Moon Rising Retreat Center provides the perfect setting for rest and renewal. Throughout the retreat, you’ll be supported with two daily yoga practices, meditation, mindful hiking, optional massage offerings, and spacious time to simply be.

It's a magickal time of the year! A time when Mother Earth goes quiet. A time to honor the real and spiritual 'dark' -- and to celebrate the return of the light.
Our ritual-inspired practice will open with **mantra, mudra, and pranayama**, and candle meditation ~ flowing into Yoga-Mojo’s Stretch & Release asana. You will then be guided through a special seasonal storytelling of **The Yule Faeries – A Winter Solstice Story,** coupled with the vibrations of a blissful Gong Bath and singing bowls in an extended Savasana.

A beautiful way to rest, release, and welcome the returning light.

Need a reset? Looking to release stress and restore balance?
Join me on Tuesdays at 11am at Cary Yoga Collective for Yoga Nidra — a soothing, guided meditation often called “yogic sleep” or “effortless relaxation.”

In this practice, you’ll rest comfortably (traditionally lying down) while your attention is gently guided inward. As the mind drifts between wakefulness and sleep, you’ll explore a state of deep ease where the breath softens, the body unwinds, and both the conscious and unconscious layers of the mind have space to settle.

In our constantly busy world — full of thinking, planning, analyzing, and doing — slowing down can feel nearly impossible. Yoga Nidra offers a sanctuary: a dedicated time to rest deeply, reconnect with yourself, and experience a spacious, meditative inquiry without effort.

Yoga Nidra is a practice of healing, compassion, and surrender.
Come rest, restore, and simply be. Yoga-Mojo

Big news to share with you all… 💛�Cary Yoga Collective has officially been passed into the loving hands of Jim and Megan Bader — and I couldn’t be more thrilled for them and for our community.

And although I’m stepping back from my role as co-owner of Cary Yoga Collective, I’m not going far. I’ll still be teaching my regular classes, leading workshops & teacher trainings, and (finally!) creating some workshops and retreats I’ve been talking about for years.�Shifting roles so I can focus even more on what I love most: sharing yoga with all of you.

And truly… we are so lucky. Jim and Megan are thoughtful, grounded, and deeply committed to this community. I’m grateful to have them guiding Cary Yoga Collective into its next beautiful chapter.

From my heart to yours — thank you.�Thank you for your trust, your support, and for being such an important part of this sweet community. I’m so excited for what’s ahead for all of us. For local friends, see you at Cary Yoga Collective 🤍✨ and for friends around the world ~ stay tuned for new Yoga-Mojo online magic coming soon!!

🌿 What a beautiful fall day! 🍁
Today’s visit to see the Trolls in Raleigh has inspired next week’s Yoga-Mojo sequence — Staying Grounded. Each of Thomas Dambo’s creations carries such presence, reminding us of our connection to nature, to one another, and to the creative spark within.
Dambo shares:
“This isn’t just about public art. It’s about inviting people to step into the story, to leave behind the digital world for a few hours and make something real with twigs, twine, and teamwork.”
Yes — I love a good story. And I love how our yoga practice helps us live that story… breathing, moving, and returning to what’s real and grounding. 🌿
Join me next week as we root down, rise up, and stay grounded together.
💚
