Give yourself the gift of TRANSFORMATION!

The end of 2024 is fast approaching. Around this time I begin to contemplate: What do I want to bring with me into the new year?What do I want to open up to? What do I want to gift myself and others?

One of the greatest gifts I ever gave myself (and others!) was a yoga and meditation practice. I practiced at a studio regularly for about a year and loved how I felt in my body and the moments of ease and even joy that began to propagate in my mind. I wanted more! I signed up for a yoga teacher training with no intention to ever teach yoga, I just wanted more of this new feeling. That yoga teacher training 22 years ago catapulted me forward on my healing journey (read more here). And I have learned A LOT since then.

Last year I and Tiffany Jelliffe, owner of Blue Mango Yoga in Haiku, Maui, distilled our combined 30+ years of yogic practice, teaching, and wisdom into this 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training. It is unlike any other! We designed it to be comprehensive, immersive, and transformative. To empower you with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to practice and teach yoga (if you so desire) with integrity and authenticity. From mastering Sanskrit pronunciation, to learning intelligent alignment of the postures, to bringing to life the teachings of yoga philosophy to indulging in nourishing Āyurvedic meals, this training is a powerful catalyst for growth. ✨🪷✨

Don’t settle for the ordinary—dive into an extraordinary experience! Apply now (clink link in bio) to secure your spot for our Spring training, March 28 - April 15.

With planting of crown flowers earlier this year, this end of year has put the possibility of transformation front and center. I am finding chrysalises hanging everywhere. It reminds me of the quote by Anais Nin, “And the day cam when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk to bloom.” Stating, January 4th, 2025 join me for a 40-day mantra meditation course. Mantra has the power to transform how you see the world around you and therefore how the world sees you! If you are looking to deepen your spiritual practice and connect with Self in 2025, this is your sign! DM for more information and a link to sign up.

Fall is vāta season. One of the best treatments for this time of year is Śirodhara.

This balancing treatment is beneficial for reducing anxiety, depression, the effects of stress, head trauma, insomnia and other psychosomatic issues. Warm oil gently flows continuously across the forehead while directly and immediately calming, relaxing, and cleansing the mind and relaxing the entire body. In this deep stillness, the nervous system releases any stress or strain that inhibits the flow of peace into every cell of the body. At least 3 consecutive sessions are recommended. DM me to book your sessions on Maui this November.
