Got home from our road trip last night and went straight to Evolve to teach my morning classes — Vinyasa and Gentle Yoga. Before each class, I handed out paper and pens and asked students to write:

“Today is going to be my peaceful day,” and to practice with it beside them on their mat.

Venerable Pannakara spoke about this very phrase during his presentations — about peace beginning with us, and about the power of writing the mantra down.

Some of you know I felt called to travel from Michigan to Concord, North Carolina to witness the monks walking for peace. Coming home and sharing this moment felt like the most natural way to carry it forward. I returned feeling deeply awe-struck by their humility, presence, and devotion. I’m still processing everything that unfolded over those days — seeing them each day was profoundly moving — and I’ll share more when the words come.

At the end of Gentle Yoga, my students agreed to hold up their papers and repeat the mantra — not for the camera, but as a video offering to the monks. What unfolded was simple, sincere, and incredibly beautiful.

The photo is with my two sidekicks, Joe and David. We jokingly called ourselves the “Peace Walker Stalkers” — we drove from Michigan in a snowstorm to see the monks, so we thought we’d stay close and follow along for a couple of days… and somehow even made the local news!

Owning a yoga studio gives me the opportunity to practice and share peace — not as an idea, but as something we choose together. I am deeply moved by the Walk for Peace and filled with gratitude for the monks and their message of peace, love, compassion, forgiveness, and mindfulness. It quietly reaffirmed why I’m drawn to these practices and why I keep showing up to share them with love and grace.

With deep gratitude for this community, and for the quiet teachings of Venerable Pannakara and the other monks walking beside him. 🤍

I just left Grace Centers for Hope after dropping off gifts for 7 sponsored Christmas recipients — all thanks to the incredible community at Evolve Yoga.

✨ Feeling so grateful today! ✨
I am endlessly lucky to be part of the beautiful community we’ve grown at Evolve Yoga. 💚

This morning we dropped off another round of food donations to Lighthouse… last month we donated clothing and food to Anchored Hope… and next up? Grace Centers of Hope Christmas Adoption Recipients! 🎁💫

When you’re in the studio next, stop by the little bowl by the front desk - it’s filled with bulb-shaped tags with names and items.
💚 Pick a tag
💚 Buy the item
💚 Wrap it
💚 Bring it back with the bulb attached

And please keep the shelf-stable food donations coming for Lighthouse - every can, box, and bag truly helps.

Let’s spread even more joy and cheer this season. I’m so grateful for all of you. 🙏✨💚

This Friday, November 21
Yoga Nidra & Sound Bath Immersion with Cinda & Linda
Join Cinda for a deeply restorative evening of Dharma Mittra–style Yoga Nidra, guided with intention and compassion. As you rest in stillness, Linda will weave a gentle soundscape of healing tones — crystal bowls, chimes, and sacred instruments — harmonizing breath, body, and consciousness.

You’ll be guided through a full Yoga Nidra journey while immersed in live sound, followed by an extended Sound Bath to let the vibrations settle into every cell. Release tension, restore balance, and awaken a quiet joy within.

(All levels welcome. Please bring a mat, pillow, anything that helps you feel cozy. We have enough blankets for all)

A heartfelt THANK YOU to my beautiful Evolve Yoga community, my heart is so full. Thank you to everyone who came to our Clothing Swap and for the incredible generosity you showed through your donations. Anchored Hope is deeply grateful – and so am I!

Some of you are still dropping items off, and that is absolutely fine! Everything will continue to go to Anchored Hope. (dressier work clothes still go to Grace Centers for Hope). As the weather begins to cool (even after this unusually warm fall!), coats are especially needed women's size S-XL.

The Food Drive Still in Motion!
We are continuing to collect individually packaged items for Anchored Hope’s brown-bag meals through next week:
* Salty snacks, Goldfish, Cheez-Its
* Peanut butter crackers
* Granola bars
* Juice boxes & bottled water
* Applesauce cups
* Cookies or brownie-type snacks
* Peanut butter (15 oz+) & jelly (12 oz+)
Your kindness literally feeds people who would otherwise go without.

Next Up: Thanksgiving Food Drive for Lighthouse
Once the Anchored Hope drive wraps next week, we’ll shift our giving energy to Lighthouse. Donation boxes will be at the studio for their Thanksgiving Food Drive. Their wish list includes:
* Canned vegetables & soup
* Boxed stuffing & instant potatoes
* Jarred gravy & canned cranberry sauce
* Protein items: beans, peanut butter, canned meats
* Canned fruits
* Cereal
* Pasta & pasta sauce
* Rice
* Mac & cheese
This studio isn’t just a place to move and breathe – it’s a place where hearts open and compassion flows into action. Thank you for living your yoga off the mat and helping us support those who need it most.

With love, gratitude, and so much admiration for your giving hearts! C

PS Shout out to my Yoga Teachers in Training – who jumped in with both hands and hearts to fold, sort, and bag all of the clothing. A job that normally takes me six hours was finished in record time because of your teamwork, laughter, and dedication. You truly embodied Seva – selfless service – and I am so grateful for you!!!
