“Make each day your masterpiece.”-John Wooden
Sometimes we get caught up thinking about how to live a meaningful life, but the truth is, a meaningful life is built one day at a time. So the real question is—how do we make today meaningful?
It starts with intention. Before the day starts, take a moment and ask: What really matters to me today? It might be showing kindness, finishing something important, or simply being present. That single intention can shape the entire day.
Next, create meaning through connection. Make time for people—whether that’s having a real conversation, sending a thoughtful text to someone important in your life, making a phone call or sharing a laugh. Even small moments of connection give our day depth.
Another step is to do one thing that aligns with your values. Maybe it’s helping someone, taking care of your health, or working toward a goal. When our actions line up with what we care about, the day feels worthwhile.
And finally, end the day with gratitude. Before bed, pause and ask yourself: What made today meaningful? It could be something big, but often it’s simple—like a smile, a good meal, or a quiet walk. Naming those moments helps us see the meaning we might have overlooked.
A meaningful day doesn’t have to be perfect. It’s about choosing presence, connection, values, and gratitude. Stack enough of those days together, and you’ll look back and realize—you’ve built a meaningful life:)

We can all use a cup of positive Tea, which one is vibing with you today?
I’m feeling the orange and yellow mug
“You are perfect just the way you are.”
Maybe you are all of the tea above.
Happy Sunday!

There is something so peaceful about seeing the horizon from above the clouds. For me it is a reminder that life is this mix of clouds, clear skies, and light.
It is up to us to choose what we focus on. Although I see the beauty in the clouds I find myself drawn to the light. As I breathe I feel that same light within me. I feel at peace in this mix of it all.
Life is a blessing. That is what our next workshop is about. I always wondered if yoga would be there for me when I needed it. I always felt like I was teaching something that I had not yet experienced. But with the moving parts of this summer: neck surgery, trips back to Ohio, the stepping back of running Now and Zen, the loss of my dad, I have needed to fall on my practice. I have found peace in my practice. I have been able to experience Life as a blessing even when things are hard.
So if anyone asks “Does yoga work?” I can say without a doubt.. “Yes!” I feel so fortunate that I can say I see the beauty in it all. And I know that my practice will help me as I continue to move through the clouds, the storms, and the clear skies so that I can focus on the light. 🙏❤️

“Life is the moment you are living right now.” I want to share a line from a book I am reading. I have heard what I am
going to tell you in different ways, but for some reason these words hit me differently. The line
is “Life is the moment you are living right now.”
The entire passage in the The Alchemist reads “I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m
interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you’ll be a happy
man….Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment you are living
right now.”
It’s easy to get stuck replaying the past—thinking what should have been different—or keep
chasing the future, waiting for that next big thing to finally make us happy. But the past is gone
and the future isn’t here yet.
The only place life actually happens is now. This breath, this conversation, this step. When we
give our attention fully to the present—listening, noticing, breathing—we begin to experience
life as it’s meant to be lived.
Living in the moment doesn’t mean forgetting the past or ignoring the future, it just means not
missing the gift of what is right in front of you. This very moment is life.

Our lives have many twists and turns, ups and downs and sometimes we can get caught up in the negativity of the world around us. But if we allow ourselves the time to really sit back and see the wonder around us we will witness Life as a blessing.
When we begin to see Life in this way making things in our lives an offering to God, the divine, the Universe becomes important. This can be something as simple as offering gratitude in the morning or at night.
We will explore the teachings of the Mohans, move and breathe together, and take time to journal in this
workshop. We hope you will join us as we see all of the ways Life is a Blessing and how we can Make It an Offering.
Join us on Sunday September 7th at 4:45 pm ✨

It’s been a week!
A roller coaster of a lot of ups and downs!
Wow! So much to unpack. I am so grateful for my yoga practice this week especially.
Life can be so challenging at times. We feel helpless and not in control. It feels uncomfortable and uneasy. There is so much we cant control around us and it’s frustrating. We get mad, sad, stressed and sick. With many changes happening around us it feels scary. It’s the fear of the unknown.
What we can control is how we respond, how we manage the change. How we handle it. Learning to let go of what we cant control is the key to a healthy mind and body. Practice Yoga when you feel out of control. This will help you to be with self and work on letting things go. By practicing meditation we can move a little deeper in the mind and understand why we have some of these reactions to what is happening around us. And when you can work through and let go of tension and stress you are at peace.

I’m so excited about our upcoming changes at the studio. We are all looking forward to new classes coming up. And welcoming our newer instructors to our yoga family. I’m looking forward to gaining new students at the studio as well.
What I love the most about our studio is our loyal students! We love you all so much! Some of you have been with Deb and the studio since day one and have practice all these years with us, what an honor. You all are so welcoming to all new students. The best part of our students is the love and support we have for one another. No other studio makes you feel the way we do the moment you step in the door.

When we think of thriving, it easy to picture success—having a good job, a nice home, or checking things off our to-do list. But truly thriving goes deeper- it means living with purpose, energy, and connection. It’s feeling fully alive—physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
Thriving isn’t just about avoiding stress or illness, it’s about growing through challenges, savoring the good, and aligning your life with what really matters to you.
So how do we get there?
Clarify your values— what is important to you—not what others or society expect. Ask yourself: What gives my life meaning? Values act as a compass helping to make decisions that keep you aligned and fulfilled.

Build a foundation of health—your body is your vehicle for everything in life. Prioritize sleep, movement, nourishment, and rest. Thriving requires energy—and that starts with basics.

Cultivate strong relationships—connection is essential. Uplifting and loving relationships can be a lifeline during hard times.

Practice gratitude and presence—notice what is good- right here, right now. A simple gratitude journal or taking a few deep breaths can reset your nervous system and shift your mindset.

Embrace growth— you are a work in progress. See challenges not as threats but as opportunities to learn. Mistakes are not failures - they are feedback.
Thriving is living with intention, staying connected to what matters and growing. Thriving is a daily practice. Ask yourself—What is one small step I can take today toward thriving?
And then take it !!
