Manipura Yoga by Molly

03/06/2026

It’s my yoga-teacher-versary!! 1️⃣0️⃣ WHOLE YEARS! I graduated YTT 3/6/2016- and here we are. “After all this time? Always.” 🙏

My life has been forever changed by the practice of yoga; It’s been my saving grace, my anchor, it fills my cup….

But if I’m being honest, it hasn’t been all rainbows and butterflies. Being a yoga teacher has also left me underpaid and overworked, broken my heart, opened my eyes to the ego-driven side of things, and drained me more than I’d like to admit; I think some of my biggest revelations have been not everyone who teaches or practices yoga actually lives the lifestyle, and then trying to find the balance between owning my businesses and the love I have for this practice….realizing that the behind-the-scenes of running a business really doesn’t feel like yoga at all to me. 🤷‍♀️ I truly commend anyone who can find that balance and still remain true to not only you, but the roots of this ancient, life-changing practice.

Yoga has taught me more than I can possibly put into words…It’s been an absolute honor to be your guide over these last TEN YEARS. 😲 Thank you for trusting me to guide your practice hOMe to yourself. Here is to many more years of learning, practicing, and teaching. 🎈

Join Divine Alchemy for February’s Goddess Gathering: Love Letters 💌

Experience a sacred sister circle, connect with ourselves and one another, share stories, laugh, draw cards, maybe manifest a little, and just enjoy some quality connection as we hold space for our sisters. ✨

Monica and Molly will be teaming up to prep you for an evening of quiet, loving intention filled with a special activity for your own heart and soul, followed by a loving meditation and hands-on adjustments with essential oils to settle your soul and help you truly surrender into self-love. 💕

PLEASE BRING:
➡️ Something comfortable to lounge in
➡️ Something snacky to share- if you are able to
➡️ A donation of $10-20 to help with space rental, supplies, and energy exchange

🚨 THE LOCATION IS PRIVATE- please message us for address if you plan on attending! 🚨

Our intention of the Goddess Gatherings is to cultivate a sense of sisterhood through meaningful connection and soulful experiences. Together, we will explore movement, breath work, sacred sharing circles, sound healing, crafting, food, and so much more…each gathering is a little different but the goal remains the same: fostering an authentic and empowered community of women.

Goddess Gatherings are THE LAST Friday of the month from 6-8pm so mark those calendars! 🥰

After three years in the Valley….countless classes, events, and most importantly, the opportunities for connection, love, and friendship- the time has come for my family and I to turn the page. We will be relocating to Spokane, WA within the next few months to move on to the next chapter. 📖

This is your final call to meet me on your mat. 🧘‍♀️

In between now and then, my schedule will be filled with travel baseball, and my yoga + movement schedule is already starting to thin based on that- so catch me when you can. 🤗

Through March, I’ll be teaching consistently on Monday mornings at 5:30am so come start your day right and experience Fusion Sculpt ❤️‍🔥 Goddess Gathering is still scheduled for February 27th & March 27th.

Based on travel weekends, you can find me alternating Friday-Sunday classes; The March schedule currently reflects the dates available. *Make sure you sign-up in advance as space is limited, and utilize the waitlist for an opportunity to snag a spot as the dates approach.

I’ve truly enjoyed my time here- it definitely wasn’t easy. It was full of hard work, life lessons, grief, and growth. But most importantly: intentional friendships, collaborations, healing, and immense joy; I am truly so thankful for the full-spectrum of this experience as it is deeply engrained in my heart and soul.

I’m honored and so thankful to be a part of I knew before I even moved here that this was the place I wanted to be and truly belonged. I am equally as grateful for my part in and everything me and my sweet friend Monica created together, and even more-so….to have a place in your hearts, as you most definitely have a place in mine. 💘 Thank you for trusting me to guide your practice through the years.

I’ll be seeing you.
I love you.
Thank you.
💛

🚨 I’m breaking up with my favorite “MVMNT” practice 🚨

What I’ve come to recognize….were patterns.

I’m here to say….no matter how much you love something, how much time, money, and energy you’ve paid into it’s system, how much you think something has changed your life….

👉🏻 If something make you go 🤨
👉🏻 If it raises more questions than answers
👉🏻 If it’s suddenly/randomly been “infused with spirit/God”
👉🏻 If you’ve seen lead trainers and support staff you know and admire leave - time and time again
👉🏻 If cultural appropriation has been brushed off and renamed within the system to look more appealing
👉🏻 If you think the “inner work” being sold by the masses (w/ little-to-no ground support) could do more harm than good
👉🏻 If you notice narcissism at the “top”
👉🏻 If you thought “hmm this kind of sounds like a cult”
👉🏻 If you connected the dots that this “mvmnt” practice was a spitting image of a lesser-known original
🛑 YOU are not obligated to stay

FYI 💁‍♀️ Your movement is not limited to “big names”.
YOU are the magic. ✨

If things are no longer in alignment with your core values and beliefs- it’s okay to walk away. No matter how much you truly love it. ❤️‍🩹

⁉️ SO, WHAT IS NEXT ⁉️

I’ll still be leading and moving with my whole heart and soul - it’ll just look a smidge different these days.

You can find me leading a somatic style of practice I’ve dubbed FUSION SCULPT:

Fusion Sculpt: A melting pot of yoga asana and low-impact strength exercises that include, but aren’t limited to: Sculpt, Barre, deep core-work, spiraling, and shaking. Props that may be utilized: Pilates ball, loop bands, yoga blocks, hand weights

Beat-driven. Straight from the heart. Sustainable.

♥️♥️♥️♥️
Love you, always.

As we step into a new year, we’re often taught to strive to fix something within us, become someone better, or to endlessly run a race for that next level in life, the next big/new thing…

Santosha - contentment - offers a different starting place for us: nothing is missing in this moment.

From this place of feeling enough, change becomes rooted in clarity, not luck or intention.

When we cultivate Santosha, we stop postponing our happiness until a future version of ourself arrives.

We begin to rest in the present moment, knowing that contentment is not a destination, but a practice.

My hope for you is that you begin to cultivate an unforced practice of contentment this new year (we don’t have to unpack and live there) - just notice more often, life is beautiful as it is- and may abundance then follow you.
