NPK Yoga

01/09/2022

Looking forward, 2022 will be a bit different for NPK Yoga.

I've made the difficult decision not to renew my park system permit for 2022. The attendance and income from 2021 simply could not support the financial cost.

However, I will still be able to hold a limited amount of public hikes at our favorite locations. They will likely happen once every 3-4 months (once I heal from an injury I am currently rehabbing), and will be announced via my email newsletter, website, and IG/Facebook.

I am also still booking a limited number of private yoga hikes in the parks or yoga classes at your outdoor location, so gather your friends and treat yourselves to movement and breath as medicine!

Finally, for those of you who may be unaware, Terrapin Crossroads has permanently closed and those classes will not be returning.

Above all, please continue to embrace the practices that keep you happy and healthy in these intense times, no matter what they are. I hope I can continue to be a part of that for you in the new year.

With gratitude 💚

Love your mother. 🌏 Earth Day’s a great day to announce that this year we’re joining 1% for the Planet. At least 1% of our profits will be donated to organizations that fight climate change and support this beautiful planet we share.

You’re not alone...

Quarantine is turning you into a stiff, hunched-over, itchy, sore, headachy husk.

I’m excited to announce that I’m now certified as a Corrective Exercise Specialist through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM)!

This certification was my “off-season” brainwork while yoga hikes are on winter seasonal break. NASM certification represents a high level of training in evaluating the movement of the human body and providing strategies for improving movement quality. I look forward to bringing this new knowledge to future classes! 🧠 💪

Dates are arbitrary. Turning a page in the calendar is only symbolic. Nothing magically changes overnight. But the completion of this year’s cycle feels especially poignant, the symbolism seems extra powerful, and the spark of hope is real.

While it’s a meaningful time to set goals, I hope you’ll be more gentle with yourself than that. What if, rather than imposing new restrictions or requirements on yourself starting 1/1, you made a promise to love yourself more radically, or listen to your body more deeply, or allow yourself to feel wonder more often?

As 2020 draws to a close, I wish you wellness within the chaos, safety within the confusion, and strength to keep moving toward brighter days on the horizon. Thank you so much for your support this year. ✨

If you’re stocking up on books for our impending Bay Area stay-at-home order, I highly recommend The Joy of Movement by . 📚☕️ It’s full of inspiring stories and fascinating neuroscience about why physical movement provides so much pleasure, human connection, and reconnection with the natural world. It’s why yoga hikes feel so good! ☺️

This year, many of us are experiencing Thanksgiving differently. Maybe there are faces missing around the table. Maybe it’s the first time you’re not able to be with loved ones. 2020 has shifted so much for so many.

Another important perspective on Thanksgiving: the Native one. Many of us non-Native people have learned as adults that the version of this holiday we were taught as children is deeply inaccurate. While we honor our family traditions, acknowledgment and support of the Native experience is also critical. Native families today are more likely to suffer from food insecurity, especially lack of access to fresh food. You can learn more at .o

So, while you feast, consider an offering to support the peoples whose land we inhabit. In Marin County, you can support the Native Coast Miwok people by sending a tax-deductible donation to:
Marin American Indian Alliance
P.O. Box 150565
San Rafael, CA 94915

Starting this year, 1% of my gross annual income at will be donated to the Marin American Indian Alliance, in gratitude to the original caretakers of the beautiful land we enjoy here today.

Feeling grateful for a beautiful final yoga hike to close out this strange, sad 2020 season. The fog was like a cozy hug and the cool salt air was such a relief from smoky days. ⛅️ Thank you to everyone who has supported this little business this year...especially for your trust in our COVID protection guidelines and your patience with wildfire-related cancellations. 🙏🏼 ❤️
