💫 Since 2020, instead of a resolution, I’ve chosen a “Word of the Year.” Some years really tested me! (Past years in next slide ➡️) After thinking about it this year, and reading a lot about the idea of “analog living,” or balancing our time with digital media - and with a baby on the way - I decided on the word “Decelerate,” because “Slow down” is two words. 😊 Definition: “to reduce the speed of : slow down.”

💫 I want to slow down, be more creative, paint, read more, and enjoy more hobbies that do not involve my phone, laptop or WiFi, but instead involve thought, effort, and imagination. I want to be present for my baby, take in the precious moments, and not have her see a phone in my hands all the time, or at the table.

💫 I want to stop being so busy running from class to class, to work to errands, and just live a little bit slower, in hopes to enjoy the moment a little bit more. Life is not in our phones: it’s in moments OFF of our devices!

💫 What’s your word of the year? What are you hoping to gain - or eliminate - in 2026?! Happy New Year all!

💫 I’ve had a lot of “lasts” in the past two weeks. Due to how the holidays fall, I taught my last class Slainte Fitness, last class Ambler, and last Surrender class .fortwashington before baby girl arrives. I need to remind myself it’s not goodbye, it’s “see you later” and I’ll be back in the Spring. I’ll miss all my yogis though! See you all in 2026!🤰✨

💫 This morning I had the privilege of leading these beautiful yogis through a Thankgiving Power Flow Ambler. I’m so grateful for each and every yoga student that has allowed me to lead them through this gift that we call yoga, over the past 14 years of teaching. And super grateful I’m eating for two this year! 💕Happy Thanksgiving all! 🦃🧘🏼‍♀️

💫 A little over a year ago, I taught my first class .fortwashington and had posted it was “the opportunity of a lifetime,” and now, I’m growing life!🤰What a difference a year can make! I auditioned while I was going through the IVF process (though no one knew that at the time), and even though there were (many) unplanned bumps in the road and the fertility journey took longer than planned, here we are! I’m so grateful for my supervisor for being so accommodating through this process, and for my students and fellow colleagues for their encouragement and support! 💕 Here’s to many more years at Life Time, and a new little yogi due in January 2026! 🩷

You can find me .fortwashington and I’m SO excited to be offering a class Ambler, and getting back to my Baptiste roots! 💕 My first class in a real yoga studio (or not at my college gym) was at a Baptiste studio in Pittsburgh during grad school, and it’s where I fell in love with hot yoga! 🔥

See you on your mat! 🧘🏼‍♀️

💫 My latest yoga journey, Yoga Nidra training through .life ! If you haven’t experienced Yoga Nidra, it is often referred to as “yogic sleep,” and is a deeply relaxing and meditative practice that guides you into a state of conscious relaxation. This was weekend 3 of 6 for training, and it was PROFOUND! I’m excited to continuing to use Yoga Nidra as a part of my self-discovery journey, and look forward to helping others find growth, relaxation, and transformation as well!! 😊 I could write paragraphs about it, but here’s a few highlights:
1. As we were learning about guided imagery, our facilitator Angela said “There is no limit to where you can go, the only limit exists in our minds” and I honestly haven’t stopped thinking about it. We can go anywhere in our minds, if we’re led there or we let ourselves go there.
2. We practiced a grief focused Yoga Nidra that was somehow beautiful, and sad at the same time. Being that today is my Pop Pop’s birthday, and he left this physical world in December 2018, I knew he was who would show up for me before we even started. Then, one of the first parts of the imagery was a little bird leading us somewhere, and grandma always says every cardinal is Pop Pop checking on us, so the tears had already started.
3. Yesterday, we did a small iRest Yoga Nidra, where we were asked to think about our “heartfelt desire,” and set an intention based on it. One of the examples was “I am love itself, expressing itself in every moment, in my every thought, action, and deed,” and I can’t remember the last time I’ve been so drawn to an intention, mantra, or sankalpa before hearing this!! 💕
