My teen station leaders did an amazing job leading the kids in a variety of super fun field games! Water relays, obstacle courses, parachute play and more!

Guess who I saw in class at YMCA this morning?! So fun to have a regular from my woodland classes show up 💖. It's also her birthday next week—Happy Birthday, sweet friend! 🥳

Today we focused on finding intentional purpose in how we show up, grounding ourselves with breath awareness, and expressing gratitude for the present moment! All while incorporating lots of heart openers and frequent chances for child's pose. It was the class that even *I* needed (and didn't know it until afterwards 😁).

Another wonderful opportunity to sub and I'll be back on Monday 🥰

I hope this bodes well for my 5K on the 4th this Friday! Since my last race in March, my running has not been super consistent (especially with a bunch of travel in the mix), but I HAVE gone to track a couple times this past month (pats self on back 😆). I wanted to run fast yesterday (fast for me) and was happy to pull this out...apparently a 5k record within the past decade and I was on my own just in the neighborhood, so I'll take it--ha!

I've been reading Shoe Dog about the founding of Nike (which—sidenote: How have I not read this sooner, being a runner from Oregon and having parents and grandparents from Coos Bay that attended U of O and lived in Eugene during that time??). Anyway, I've been freshly inspired by the all-out effort that legendary Steve Prefontaine was known for during his races and I think it helped me during this run.

I've also had Faith Kipyegon on my mind this week as she attempted to break 4 minutes in the mile. She didn't, but she set a new world record (after breaking her own🔥).

I'm grateful for inspiring people who do hard things! When it's 80° and the sun is already up, you need all the inspiration you can get 😅. Your takeaway? Sometimes we need to get out our heads and just take action. Whatever that means for you...run with it 😉.

I almost let the day slip away before saying Happy International Yoga Day!! 🧘🏼‍♀️ AND Happy summer solstice yesterday AND may as well add here that last week marked ONE YEAR of woodland yoga!!! 🎉 I am beyond grateful for those who have joined me out here in our forested haven on their mats...including my own kiddos (BTW kids camp is on the horizon)!

As a small business owner it can take some time to find your groove and although I've had some fun (and some challenging!) phases along the way, I'm happy to say that my woodland era is my best era, and it's here to stay 🫶🏼🥹.

Thanks for a great first year and I'm looking forward to all the peace, hope, joy, movement, mobility, learning, growth, and camaraderie that this time out in nature will bring in all the years to come! ✨🧘🏼‍♀️🌳.

Not a bad view for some yoga this morning. My kids have had so much fun playing tag games with their cousins out here...I never knew there could be so much beauty in the desert 🏜️❤️.

I hope everyone had a lovely Easter over the weekend! 🐣✝️💐🐰

We had perfect weather this past Tuesday for yoga in the woods! We were missing a few friends this week but looking forward to having the group together again for our last spring session 🥰

We were missing some class members last night, but I sure love and appreciate this trio of lovely ladies! 💕

It was such a beautiful evening to kick off our woodland spring yoga series and I already can't wait for next week! ✨🧘🏼‍♀️🌳

03/25/2025

TONIGHT we begin our spring yoga series! ✨🧘🏼‍♀️

This is protected time to slow down, settle in, move and breathe in the peaceful surroundings of nature! 🌳🌄

There are a few (limited!) spaces remaining, so don't hesitate to join us if the woods are calling to you ☺️✨
