A few years ago, someone asked if any of our students’ children had started practicing yoga with us. The answer is “yes”!

This past week, Sammy joined us! I first met Sammy in 2016 when she was still in her mama’s belly – [Photo taken on an old iPhone, back before the cameras were any good!]

Here’s Sammy with Cathy Louise during Fall Break 2025.

In August 2025, our oldest kids’ friend from elementary school days, , began practicing regularly in our Mysore class.

And, honorary mention goes to Zen and his dad, . Zen began practicing with us back in 2014 when he was just seven years old.

It was inevitable that this would happen, especially since we’ve been running our yoga program in Honolulu since 2002. It’s exciting to see the next generation of students beginning to learn with us. It’s truly an honor!

Thank you to Megumi & Sammy and Daniel & Zen for letting me share these photos from practice .

It was wonderful to teach my “Yoga for Women Workshop” on September 13, 2025. Twenty-four beautiful women attended. There is something incredibly powerful about bringing together a group of women, for a full day, to just be together, learning, talking and sharing.

Mahalo, M&R for hosting us in your beautiful home and letting me share the photos and videos here. And for closing the workshop with your crystal bowl playing.

If you missed out this time, I will be teaching the workshop again in the near future. DM me if you are interested. I’ll keep everyone updated as plans are made for the next gathering.

Yoga has made me the woman that I am and developed my understanding and compassion for myself. And 2025 seems to be the year that I’m deeply comfortable with where I am at.

I started thinking of the idea of teaching a “Yoga for Women Workshop” over 20 years ago, just after I had my first baby. I started yoga in my mid-twenties and each decade I feel like I have defied so many of the myths that I had heard about “What happens to a woman when she gets older!”.

I have had to revamp the workshop many times. Some of the things I was teaching were just theory and study. When I went through a phase myself there were corrections to be made in what I was teaching. I have journeyed through from my 20’s through perimenopause, menopause and am now post-menopause and I love being where I am right now. It’s been a wild ride!

Keep breathing, be kind to yourself, find a few moments in your day to stop, know that you are not alone in any struggle that you are having, it is real, you can share and reach out if you need an ear. I am here to listen and help in any way that I can.

Sarah Osborne started apprenticing with us in September 2024 and over the last nine months she has assisted every morning in the second session, after doing her own practice first. Glen and I have enjoyed sharing what we know and seeing her grow and gain confidence in adjusting and teaching in the Mysore space.

We’d like to congratulate her on doing such a great job as Purple Apprentice #13.

Sarah is diligent, courageous, learned fast and I’m proud of all the great work that she has done.

I know everyone will be sad that she’s not around all the time but she’s not going anywhere, she’ll still be on her mat practicing and helping with cover when we are away. I was telling one of the students that you may still find her assisting us from time to time, as the learning never ends.

I’d also like to thank all the students for welcoming Sarah into the Purple Mysore room and being patient as she learned how to do some of the more complex adjustments. Without you we could not give this opportunity to the apprentices.

The first month or so Sarah did a lot of down dogs and then slowly learned more and more. Here are a few moments over the last few months of Sarah adjusting and being adjusted. Today July 1, 2025, her final day, we learned Tic Tocs with 🫶🏼

Three posts that deeply touched me this week (all shared on stories):
1. Always grateful to read your reflections on Sharathji. Thank you for sharing such heartfelt memories.
2. A beautiful reminder that, slowly and methodically, we can rediscover our practice - with grace, strength, and acceptance - no matter the circumstances we’re in.
3. So happy to hear you’re finally free. I’ve thought of you often over the past few years. I hope this experience brings you strength, and that you move forward with lightness and peace. Sending love.
