What an honor to spend so much time as a student in a practice that has influenced and informed both my teaching and my life in so many profound ways. This intensive training was just what I needed in this season of my life and I’m profoundly grateful to the incredible teachers who led our training. The highlight was getting so much time with our amazing teacher and leader Nevine Michaan. Being in the presence of someone who is not only a true master but who is also so generous in all the ways was beyond inspirational. And of course being supported by incredible teachers from all over the world who care so much about our craft is truly a gift.

Thank you for everything and especially for bringing together a global community who supports and plays with one another in ways that we don’t even know we need.

My friend Bryna passed away at the age of 93 on Sunday. It’s not often that one can be lucky enough to truly feel the friendship of someone who is 50 years older. But boy was I lucky. I met Bryna through dear Nancy and we spent Thanksgivings together in the studio, had many margaritas, conversations, and laughs over the past few years. Mine and Greg’s connection to her was on a soul level that can’t be described.

One of the last times we saw Bryna as we were leaving her room…she looked up and said…”you know…I forgot how much I loved you guys until I saw you come into the room.” That heart moment of truth that came out of her touched my heart so deeply. And I will always remember that moment.

I hope I can choose to have more of those moments myself…to be truthful, grateful, and to never be afraid to express love. It’s the reason we are here. Thank you Bryna for lighting up our lives…I will hold your memory in my heart always.

Happy new years! An attempt at a family photo that was a complete s**t show.

Here’s to a year of more cuddles and some serious down regulation. Two words of my year shall be down regulation.

Love and gratitude to y’all!

☀️ I took this photo at some point during lockdown right before the last election. It captured the calm and solitude I felt during that time when I’d walk home on the beach every evening from the studio.

Just like four years ago I feel compelled to gather together as a community on an intense day and share a metta meditation and just walk together in silence. Four years ago was powerful and quite sweet. I feel the anxiety this year and the unity that community and metta brings is powerful.

Join me in Manhattan Beach on Tuesday at 8 am (also join us online I’ll connect us in and you’ll hear the waves through my air pods as we walk). We’ll meet by the Mb pier and then walk down to the beach and go through the Metta meditation and then walk silently along the beach. You can also join in Santa Barbara on Monday evening at 5:30 at Leadbetter Beach.

Loving kindness meditation, or metta is a Buddhist practice for cultivating compassion for ourselves and others through directing loving phrases of goodwill.

May we be happy
May we be healthy
May we be safe
May we live lives of ease

The practice of metta runs deep for me as it connects so fervently to the mantra Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu…

May all beings be happy and free.

This has become a prayer and a wish…a reflection back at my own (our) action in my life. How do my thoughts, actions, and words impact the happiness and freedom of others. How can I live in such a way that I may always remember that my actions impact the freedom and happiness of all beings. This is not just a phrase I throw around lightly or in any way intend to be toxically positive…because let’s face it we are living in a time where happiness is hard to come by and our actions and words are hurting others. This prayer is a reminder that everything I think, do, and say ripples out into the world. And if my wish can be that of every being having the right to happiness and freedom-then I will always be reminded that my actions and words are not just mine but they are everyone’s.

Let’s bring the metta together and unify in a simple and peaceful way during a time when we are so divided and yet we are all still one.

Hard to believe 7 years ago today my Dad passed away unexpectedly in his sleep. The expanse of time only becomes more voluminous. So much life has happened since then and as he said in his last text to me when he was expressing how long it had been since his own father had passed and how he missed him…

Time moves on with or without us.

The sunsets are his gift to me. When I’m able to pause and see the sunset, I always sense my Dad is saying hello in ways my human brain cannot comprehend but with an assuredness that is solid.

We are not guaranteed another breath…say I love you…give the hugs…continue to live in wonder…this human experience is a gift.

Happy 2nd birthday to our El Porto studio. I was shocked that it has only been two years…feels like we’ve known the studio and felt the embrace forever. Originally Yoga Loft El Porto and now elevated to Sol Seek El Porto defining who we are and why we do what we do.

It has always been and will always be about community. The people. The trust of the people and the sacredness of the space that we try to always ensure is filled with mercy. In a life that is hard, fast, cruel, and demanding…my goal is that when you step inside our doors that you feel welcomed and embraced.

We are dreamers and we work hard to keep the dream of mercy and community alive. Our incredible staff does this on the daily and I am forever grateful for them.

Support small business now more than ever. We are not backed by big corporate dollars but are backed by the local community and ecosystem we create and support. Hug a small business owner today…we are dreamers still dreaming in a crowded world.

Happy International Day of Yoga and solstice and all the things…🌞

The practice that has always met me where I am…allowed me to discover and rediscover over and over again all the depths of being alive. Most days when I feel less than or not the way I want to be the practice gives me this great big mirror to not just remind me that I’m always where I want to be…but the practice has put me in the drivers seat and continues to teach me that I am in charge…bypassing is just bypassing any that the really good s**t takes a really long time and it’s ok if it’s hard because it’s so worth it. The techniques to living a more joyful existence on this planet. 🩷

The communal aspect I am always grateful for. Community is key. And I’m eternally grateful for the three studios that carry the light…that endure challenge…and that hold space. And the teachers at who show up and share their yoga with students who trust, believe, and come back over and over again. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I’ve been on a bit of a teaching hiatus for a couple of weeks to refill my well…do some deep heart and soul work…and to stoke the fires for all that is to come for our communities. Back teaching tomorrow 8 am at The Loft! I’m grateful for YOU!

Gratitude for another year.
Gratitude for a fresh start.

Strapping myself in and trusting in the literal support system around me…

More love, laughter, ease, and trust this year.

Happy 2024

So proud of the 19 beautiful humans who taught their final graduation class in teacher training at tonight! ❤️🙏🏼🌻

Teaching is brave. Stepping out of your comfort zone is brave. Leaving your family and friends for weekends of study and work for four months is BRAVE. There are so many other things these humans could be doing and instead they choose to better the world through this work.

I am inspired and always in awe at how much I learn and grow through trainings. My teachers voices come out and I see the lineage reflected in my students. It is an honor to teach. To hold space. It is a responsibility we do not take lightly. I am in awe of these beautiful beings and their bravery. Thank you for trusting me!

Thank you to .julia.gordon and for taking this ride with us and guiding us all.

Thank you to the amazing Sol Seek MB teachers who led modules and mentored throughout…
, Jay Cruz, .lac , , and to the amazing ❤️❤️🙏🏼❤️

Now go out and change the world!!!
