2016: The Inversion Era. I thought inverting was a special power, and still do. But back then, I believed it would rescue me. From my ordinary-ness. Make me better.
When my mom died, I found this torn out page in her desk.

“The world is violent and mercurial - it will have its way with you. We are saved only by love - love for each other and the love that we pour into the art we feel compelled to share: being a parent; being a writer; being a painter; being a friend. We live in a perpetually burning building, and what we must save from it, all the time, is love.” -Tennessee Williams

The inversion obsession persists, but in this last decade I’ve shifted. Practicing head over heels is now in deference to something bigger.

I’m horrified. Heartbroken. And I am making space. For us to catch our breath. A day to receive. Take a break. Rest. Laugh. Nourish the body. Supported by community. To calm the nervous system. To Fortify your LifeForce.

Registration is now open for my BreathWork workshop: a Micro - Retreat dedicated to restore and refill your cup.

Take time to comfort and give yourself care. This is an afternoon of uplift and down shift: Prana. Anticipate gentle yoga, breathing practices, philosophy, connection and a straight-up, hang-out where we’ll break bread and build friendships together.

Years ago I created Urban Ashram events; in-city experiences to recalibrate, without the travel or expense of longer retreats. I’m excited to bring it back for a deep dive into Prana - the essential energy that gives us life, flows through breath, feeds the body mind, invigorates, soothes, strengthens immunity, resiliency and communicates as love.

We need it now. More than ever. I hope you’ll join me.

Fortify Your LifeForce
Philosophy. Practice. Pranayama. Potluck!

Moving out of fear. Breathing into the way Love makes you move

My first big offering for 2026:
May your new year intentions include being with good people and breathing in nature. The simplest practices for cultivating real happiness. If that resonates, I made this one for you.

Last summer in Big Bear I was awe-struck by a thousand year old hero: the Tree of Resilience. Wildly inspired to gather around her again, I envisioned us returning to receive more hints on living with powerful strength and generous grace.

I hope you’ll join me for a gorgeous mountain top retreat to revitalize right from the source. Come ground down, branch out and grow big. Let’s spend 4 days together soaking up the sugar pines, breathing in mountain air, walking forest trails, and practicing (tree pose!) under soaring skies.

Come do this. Not to be better or perfect - just to be present. Retreat is less of a destination, more of a doorway. Into thanks. And love. For the journey ahead.

Wherever this year takes us, reminder: our outer path and inner work matters, connecting with others matters, moving, breathing, meditating - all of it, is meaningful and transformative. This is how we make change happen.

Come hug trees with me 🌳 🌄 🧡

Toppling towards the trash but still, somehow, tilting head up to laughter. It’s hard these days to hold both: the extreme horrors and the simple kinds of happiness (being w friends. and family. the huge gifts of health. small moments in nature, people helping people. everywhere).

A little dose really does do a lot of good. So this is a reminder to resource yourself. Feed your soul. So you can serve the world.

LA♥️ I’m back from spring break and classes are in session!

Last week was for reconnecting with my favorite people and reseting my nervous system. The longer I practice yoga & meditation, the more I see how anxiety and depression are righteous responses to living in an unjust society.

In the face of ever growing terror about our times (yes I am afraid), I joined a community response team to help protect our neighborhood in case of emergency, give more $ to causes that matter, boycott, protest, prioritize sleep, rest, resistance and practice.

If we’re want to change our world, we need to resource ourselves, take small actions, hold each other close and re-claim hope. “Hope sees truth and still believes in better, with willingness to work for it.” (Bernice King)

From in the fires we learned, no one is coming to save us. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. Keep your practice strong. Now more than ever. I’m here for you.

Thank you LA! Felt so good to be in Solidarity & Sisterhood! We will not be silent. We will not go back. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.
Our rights have been taken. Our access and achievements erased. Our demands denied. And still we rise.
Do not wait. The time is now. Every drop counts. You belong here.

We raised our kids together. Transplanted NY’ers, fast friends, all drawn to a life in LA. They built a dream home, up on top of the mountain, overlooking the ocean. Made it with their own hands and huge hearts, and chic style. It was beautiful. Welcoming. Joyous.

And now, suddenly, stunningly, surreally . . . they’re are trying to imagine how they will rebuild it all again.

If you are hoping to help, here’s a way how:

Hug your people. Help where you can. Ripple effects are real. The smallest offerings still make meaningful impacts. We’re in it together ♥️

Dear Community,
If it feels like you’re spinning in the storm, one way to help steady yourself is to support someone else. For those willing and able to help, our dear friends Clove & Jenny, like so many, lost their entire home, everything down to ashes, and are in need right now.

GoFundMe contributions:
https://gofund.me/c970a098

Donating money and resources directly to people devastated by fire is one of the best ways to make an impact in this crisis.

Stay safe. And connected. May this nightmare shift towards ease. May this physical and mental suffering be alleviated. May we come together, thru the grief and loss, to create a city of care, a Los Angeles of Love.

My chosen home. Beloved LA. Where the mountains meet the sea.
Everything sacred is saved. 💔

Full Moon. Full Heart. HopeFull. Deep Retreat Reset comes from being with fabulous people. Claiming our families thru joy and laughter, kindness and care. Wrapped in warm blankets of gratitude. Soothed by mountain hikes in moonlight, energize by hours of practice, settled in silence & breathwork, soaked in hot tubs, hugged by huge trees, uplifted by singing and nourished by OMs in harmony. I left behind a little tiny bit of fear. And brought home a huge helping of awe. And love.

This is the only way I want to travel thru the unknown. Together.

Nikki Giovanni says “We’re Going to Mars, for the very same reason, we fall in love. It’s the adventure. It’s a life seeking thing.”

Thank you Topanga Canyon Crew!!!
Get & Stay in Formation!
This is The Way.
Love You
