Beans truly enjoyed last night's restorative class!

We focused on lengthening the side body, breathing into the backs of the lungs, and softening the psoas (fight or flight muscle) in an effort to release tension and reset the nervous system.

It worked for Beans, it just might work for you, too.

Virtual class meets every Sunday, and pop-ups happen throughout the month. Join for $45/mo, get access to the library and live streams, and maybe get a Beans sighting. 🐱

Slow Flow into Restorative Pop-Up
TONIGHT AT 6:15
ONLINE

This unwinding evening practice is designed for you to shed the detritus of the day, have a relaxing evening, and get some good sleep.

Generally, it is good to have two blankets, two blocks, and a bolster. If you don't have those items at home, good substitutes are bath towels, thick books, and sofa cushions, respectively. Covering the eyes is nice too, so grab an eye pillow, or a hand towel, and join me in the virtual classroom.

Your nervous system will thank you!

DID NOT WANT TO DO THIS TODAY.

So glad I did.

It’s so much easier to NOT practice yoga and adhere to an Ayurvedic lifestyle. Following the protocols and stepping on the mat for a practice requires a near daily pep talk.

However, when I put the effort in, the rest of my life is easier.

So, to the mat I go.

Join me for a live yoga class online every Sunday, or on demand at your leisure. It may not be easy, but you’ll be glad you did it.

Private sessions today in my upstairs studio.

Fresh flowers. Candles lit together to set intentions. Blessings from the mahadevas. Personalized practice from yoga and Ayurveda.

Peace.

I have two spots open for personalized guidance.
DM if you’re interested!

Mom. Partner. Teacher. Guide. Business owner. Homeowner. Consumer of news. Receiver of texts. Reader of emails. Manager of money. Preparer of food. Tender of the garden.

The demands keep coming.

To put them aside takes effort, but these moments with myself are pure medicine. The antidote to living in the modern world.

Where would I find the energy if I did not pour it into myself?

Tonight at 6 @ The Mind Body Collective!

An opportunity to draw inward is not to be missed these days! Relief from constant input and demands awaits, as does the chance to encounter who you are unrelated to the roles you play in daily life. This kind of peace is medicine, the antidote to modern living.

Choose yourself for an hour this evening. Put it all down, close your eyes, and let me guide you though movement and rest. Leave restored.

No one ever regrets coming.

Register here.

Join me for an evening practice in the sweet space at The Mind Body Collective. The sequence and intensity of the poses is always different, based on the needs of the students, but we will always center, breathe, stretch, strengthen, and relax. Love this class? Bundle and save with a ten class p...

This week's classes start TONIGHT with Ayurveda for LIFE.

Join me at 6pm for a teaching on the Ayurvedic clock and learn ways to improve your digestion and sleep by aligning with it.

This rolling monthly offering is a casual way to begin to understand the Ayurvedic view, and apply these simple practices to your life for Longevity, Integrity, Fulfillment and Ease.

There is so much to gain from leaning into these practices!

As the world gets louder and more chaotic, turning inward and returning to center become necessary for mental and emotional survival. If you have a practice, it's time to double down, and if you don't, now is a good time to start.

The world needs you well. The world needs you strong.

This is you putting on your oxygen mask first.

Stop scrolling and do yoga instead!
Virtual practice @ 10am CST.
You’ll feel better, I promise.

Every Sunday we gather online to practice embodying the teachings of this tradition. I will bring you a story or a bit of philosophy to contemplate, then use breath-work and postures to bring you into a state of being that brings the teaching to life within you. We descend into deep relaxation an...

I hope your plans for the week include carving out time to practice!

Classes this week:

Virtual Slow Flow into Restorative, TONIGHT AT 6!

Tuesday Morning Practice at The Mind Body Collective 10am

Wednesday Evening Practice at The Mind Body Collective 6pm

Sunday Morning Yogaaaaah, online at 10am

If none of these times suit you, but you want to practice with me, don't forget that I have an on demand library that includes all kind of classes for you to take at your leisure.

While the classes above will help you stretch, strengthen, and calm, what really improves your experience of being in a body are the lifestyle practices of Ayurveda. If you want to improve your digestion, sleep, immunity, and mood, join me in Ayurveda for LIFE next Monday, March 23rd, at 6pm online* **.

This class will cover dinacharya, or the daily rhythm, one of the primary teachings of Ayurveda.

Double down on self-care, broaden your bandwidth for channeling energy, bolster your capacity to endure stressful times and enjoy peaceful ones, with the yoga/Ayurveda combo. I'd be honored to be your guide.

Morning practice in my pjs. Adjusting to time change and transition to Spring call for more vigor in practice. Kapoalabhati (skull shining breath), quicker flows, and invigorating backbends. This 15 minute investment will pay dividends all day.

If you would like to lean into the wisdom of yoga and Ayurveda with me as your guide, I offer a variety of ways you can do that. In-person group and private classes, virtual live streams and a library, virtual yoga chikitsa (yoga therapy), and Ayurveda group learning and coaching.

Hope to see you on your mat!
