✨ When community gathers, wellness becomes real. ✨

Tonight at Blue Sky Yoga STL, I had the honor of being in service at their Clothing Swap & Community Social 💙👕♻️

I offered chair massages, shared gently loved clothing for charity, and witnessed something simple yet powerful: people showing up for one another with openness, generosity, and joy. These moments—where care replaces excess and connection replaces consumption—are the heart of wellness.

Deep gratitude to Megan Mahley and Annie Trachsel for hosting such a thoughtful, heart-led event, and to everyone who came to swap, support small business, and begin the New Year a little lighter—inside and out. 🌱✨

💫 Heart-Centered Connections & New Year Energy — January 2026! 💫

This morning — Friday, January 9, 2026 — we came together for the Heart-Centered Business Networking Meetup at Higher Groundz Coffee & Tea ☕️ in Maryland Heights.

There was something special in the air today — a perfect blend of familiar faces and new guests, meaningful conversations, and plenty of laughter that made the morning feel light, inspiring, and full of possibility for the year ahead.

A heartfelt thank-you to Bob Baker for creating a space where connection, creativity, and collaboration flourish. Every meetup reminds us that business can be done with heart, purpose, and genuine care — it’s networking with soul.

If you haven’t explored Bob’s work yet, check out his YouTube channel 🎥 “Bob Baker Affirmations” and his Impact Formula Lab 🌟 (https://bob-baker.mykajabi.com/impact) — he’s empowering heart-centered entrepreneurs and creatives to share their gifts with confidence and meaning.

At Yogaphora, we share the same philosophy: when you lead from authenticity and abundance, everyone rises. As I like to say, “Cooperation is the new competition.” 🤝

📸 Here are a few moments from this morning — proof that when people gather with open hearts and intentions, inspiration and community naturally follow.

💡 Guests: feel free to tag your business or share your work in the comments — let’s keep the connections and collaboration going!

✨ Vision, Presence & Community at Blue Sky Yoga STL ✨

Today, January 3, 2025, I had the joy of attending and participating in a truly nourishing gathering at Blue Sky Yoga Studio—an afternoon devoted to vision, meditation, and conscious creation.

The space was intentionally slowed down so we could go inward and reflect on meaningful questions:

How do we love? 🫶🏼
Where do we place our time, energy, and attention?
And what are we ready to envision, change, and create?

Through meditation, gentle yoga, reflection, and the creative process of vision board creation, participants were invited to reconnect with imagination, clarity, and intention. As was beautifully expressed during the event: our deepest wishes are whispers of our authentic selves.

I was grateful to contribute by offering chair massage to attendees—supporting relaxation, grounding, and embodiment as people moved between inner reflection and creative expression.

Touch, presence, and stillness are powerful allies when we’re imagining the next chapter of our lives.
So much inspiration, heartfelt conversation, creativity, and community filled the room. Deep thanks to Annie Trachsel for hosting such a meaningful and well-held experience. 💙

✨ Closing 2025 on the mat — tonight ✨

Tonight I had the honor of teaching my final class of 2025 at Urban Breath Yoga Studio, and what a beautiful way to close the year. 🙏

We breathed, moved, laughed, released, and shared presence together — not just stretching our bodies, but softening our hearts and nervous systems after a long year. Seeing these happy, open faces after class reminded me why this space matters so much. 💛

Yoga isn’t just about poses. It’s about community, connection, and remembering who we are beneath the noise. Ending the year in this energy feels so right.

As we step into 2026, my wish is that we carry this same groundedness, courage, and kindness off the mat and into our lives. 🌱

Thank you to everyone who showed up — exactly as you are.

✨ Here’s to a new year, new breath, and new beginnings. ✨

Buon anno a tutti 🥂🧘‍♂️.

💎 Yogaphora Featured in VoyageSTL’s Hidden Gems 📰

I’m grateful to share that VoyageSTL Magazine has recently featured my work with Yogaphora LLC and included me in their Hidden Gems series 💎.

For those unfamiliar, VoyageSTL is a local digital publication dedicated to highlighting entrepreneurs, creatives, and community builders throughout the St. Louis area—especially the stories that may not always be loud or flashy, but quietly contribute to the culture and wellbeing of our city.

The Hidden Gems series shines a light on small, independently run businesses grounded in purpose, consistency, and service. Being included in this series truly means a lot to me.

The article reflects on my path into bodywork and yoga, the philosophy behind Yogaphora, and why I continue to believe that presence, integrity, and one-on-one care still matter deeply in today’s wellness landscape.

🎙️ New Yogaphora Conversations Interview just dropped 🙏🏻
🌿 Life as a Renewable Miracle | Manantial de Crecimiento Personal with Paola Salas 🇨🇴

🎧 Watch the full conversation here:
👉 https://youtu.be/zigeaK76jCk?si=hvb8f2Ymg8SuNTeX

✨ What if Life itself is an unlimited, renewable resource?

In this deeply nourishing episode of Yogaphora Conversations, I had the honor of sitting with Paola Salas, founder of Manantial de Crecimiento Personal, for an intimate and expansive dialogue on faith, gratitude, healing, and conscious living.

This conversation is not about religion as doctrine.
It is about God as Life.
As Source.
As Nature, Consciousness, the Field, the Intelligence that breathes us.

The presence that animates all things and expresses itself uniquely through each of us 🌍✨

Together, we explore:

🌱 Life as an infinite, renewable resource — not something we consume, but something we participate in
💫 Faith beyond fear, beyond labels, beyond institutions
🕊️ Trusting the unseen intelligence guiding our lives
🌿 Gratitude as a spiritual technology for healing and abundance
💖 Releasing limiting beliefs and emotional burdens
🌊 Healing trauma without bypassing the human experience
🌸 Living from the heart instead of survival
✨ Remembering our unity in a fragmented world

Paola shares wisdom rooted in lived experience, humility, and deep listening — reminding us that spirituality is not an escape from life, but a way of meeting life fully, courageously, and lovingly.

This is an invitation to slow down.
To breathe 🌬️
To listen.
To remember who you are beneath the noise.

NEW YOGAPHORA CONVERSATIONS INTERVIEW JUST DROPPED! 🌈
☀️ Blue Sky After the Storm ☀️
🌬️🍃 Healing, Oneness & Inclusive Yoga with Annie Trachsel 🍃

🎥 WATCH THE FULL CONVERSATION:
👉 https://youtu.be/K7MgxtfIY7k?si=i3smF-5886W3qiQy

Some conversations don’t just inform — they linger. 💙
This is one of them.

Today I’m honored to share a new episode of Yogaphora Conversations featuring Annie Trachsel, founder and owner of Blue Sky Yoga STL — a space built on care, consent, inclusivity, and real community. 🧘‍♀️🤍

Annie’s journey began early. At just 10 years old, after a traumatic accident, an 11-day coma, and months in a body cast, she had to relearn how to walk — not once, but twice. 🚶‍♀️✨
What followed was a lifelong relationship with movement, breath, healing, and trust in the body.

In this conversation, we explore:
🌬️ Healing that honors both strength and softness
🌗 The balance of masculine and feminine energy
🌈 Creating yoga spaces that are inclusive and welcoming
🧍‍♂️ How yoga can truly support men in a female-dominated industry
🫶 Oneness, belonging, and community as lived practices
🏡 How Blue Sky Yoga became a home for so many bodies and stories

As someone who’s been lucky enough to collaborate with Annie at Blue Sky Yoga for the past three years (I teach Rise & Shine Yoga there every Tuesday at 7:30 a.m. ☀️- Follow my group at: Yoga with Andrea for more updates), this conversation reflects the heart of the space we’ve been co-creating — one where everyone is invited in.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body…
curious about healing…
or longing for a yoga space where you truly belong — this one’s for you. 💫

🎙️ 🌿 NEW YOGAPHORA CONVERSATION IS LIVE 🌿🧘🏻

🌬️ The Divine Within Us ✨
A Yogaphora Conversation with Rev. Celeste A. Frazier on Healing, Consciousness & Living from the Heart

🎥 WATCH THE FULL INTERVIEW HERE:
👉 https://youtu.be/QIfGaCCH40s?si=q0ko63lD_afbCy01

What does it really mean to heal?
How do we live from the heart in a world that often feels rushed, divided, and overwhelming?
And how can spirituality be lived — not just talked about?

In this episode of Yogaphora Conversations, I sit down with Rev. Celeste A. Frazier — minister, poet, teacher, and spiritual leader at the Center for Spiritual Living — for a wide-ranging conversation on:

🕊️ Science of Mind & conscious creation
💛 Emotional healing, forgiveness & inner freedom
🌱 Intuition and spiritual guidance
🎭 Creativity, writing & art as spiritual practice
🌈 Joy, gratitude & living from the heart
🌓 Spiritual bypassing and why real growth requires honesty
🧠 Reflections influenced by Dr. David R. Hawkins’ Map of Consciousness
🌍 Community, service & practicing oneness in everyday life

Rather than offering quick answers or abstract theory, this conversation stays grounded in lived experience — exploring how spiritual principles actually show up in relationships, healing, creativity, and service.
