Nine people walked into Casa Otro carrying stress in their bodies.

Racing thoughts. Tight shoulders. Shallow breathing. Nervous systems stuck in “go mode.”

Ninety minutes later, every single participant left more regulated than when they arrived.

Mental scatteredness dropped.
Physical tension dissolved.
Connection to breath increased.

Because conscious breathing (Pranayama) changes the nervous system. This is especially powerful when done in a group setting.

Amplified by the beauty of this gallery space.

This Saturday morning, we gather again for an intimate pranayama workshop rooted in the Rishiculture Gitananda tradition.

Without performing.
Without pressure.
Just movement, breath, awareness, and space to reconnect with yourself.

If your body has been asking you to slow down lately, this is your invitation.

Saturday, May 30 • 9am • Casa Otro
Limited to 10 people • $25

Reserve your spot at the link in bio.

Have you been feeling uneasy, overstimulated, or emotionally stretched thin lately?

Your breath can help more than you think.

Starting Saturday, I am teaching a 3-week pranayama series called Art of Breathing at the beautiful Casa Otro gallery in historic Mesilla.

Together, we will explore breath and movement practices from the Rishiculture Gitananda Yoga tradition that support the nervous system and help you feel calmer, clearer, and more connected.

Each session includes:
• movement to prepare the body for breath
• traditional pranayama practices
• guided relaxation + integration
• space to slow down and reconnect in community

This is not a fitness class and don't expect an activating breathwork experience. These are traditional practices shared with care, in a small intimate group.

Open to beginners and experienced practitioners alike.

✨ Only 10 spots available
✨ 3 Saturdays in May
✨ $25/session
✨ Held at Casa Otro in Mesilla

A portion of registration supports Project Otro and their community programming.

Joyous life is found in the quiet, simple moments. I'm "home" on the Gulf Coast, a different person and with new eyes that see the beauty in each moment I choose to be fully present.

Pass Christian is utter charm. Not so mossy oaks frame the jasmine as nature's intoxicating perfume. Moisture in the air clings like a soft warm hug, and the smell of salt water and "porch chats" is a balm I did not know I needed.

I am blessed by time with dear friends and family.

Stop in at when you're in the area snd pick up any of their great books!

Most people think stress management requires more time, more tools, or more discipline.

But your nervous system responds fastest to one thing:

𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴.

In this new article, I explain, in plain language, how Pranayama influences the autonomic nervous system, including the vagus nerve and heart rate variability.

You’ll learn:

• why shallow breathing keeps the body in stress mode
• how slow breathing signals safety to the brain
• simple ways to regulate your state in real time

This is practical physiology you can use at work, at home, or in difficult conversations.

We are shaped by the same five elements that shape the natural world.
Earth. Water. Fire. Air. Space.

This is the inspiration behind Steady Within, a four-week yoga series that builds awareness and lived experience so you can choose what you need in the moment.

This Saturday (March 7) we explore the Air element downtown desert yoga in

Air shows up as breath, the pace of your thoughts, and movement.

A pattern I see often:
When breath is restricted, thinking narrows.

Tight chest. Racing or looping thoughts. No patience.

That restless, overthinking feeling?
It’s often excess Air.
Not a mindset issue.

A body signal asking for space and rhythm.

In Steady Within, we’ll work with breath and movement to restore the flow of prana through the body.

I'm SO delighted to be leading a series of accessible yoga experience in person.

Teaching/sharing the practices have transformed how I see the world and navigate life day-to-day is a source of *energy and great joy.*

We start with Water element (Jala) using postures (asana) and Pranayama (conscious, embodiment of energy that many people call "breathwork") to create ease and allow space for harmony and creativity.

Each class, we explore and experience the five elements to contextualize our day-to-day experiences.

If you're curious about Pranayama and what it can do for you OR simply want a yoga class unlike what you experience elsewhere, join us.

You can join for one or all four classes. I hope you choose the series for yourself.

I'd love to see you on the mat. Find more details and save your spot at the top link in my bio or at

Each of us is shaped by the same five elements that shape the natural world.
Earth. Water. Fire. Air. Space.

This is the inspiration behind 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻 — a four-week yoga series that builds awareness and lived experience, so you can choose what you need in the moment.

It’s physiology and physics all in one.
The way the elements show up in your body and mind quietly influences how you move through your days.

Before fixing anything.
Before adding another tool.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲.
𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁. 𝗔𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀.

From there, we experience how postures, breathwork, and relaxation tools can move your body and mind back toward a grounded center.

Each elemental class will leave you with simple practices you can return to, again and again.
Limited spots for our 4 class series are available.

How’s your heart? Really.
Did you know that every conscious breath you take gives your heart a gentle hug?

Try it right now. Deepen your breath.

This is called cardio-respiratory coupling, and it’s essential for a healthy, responsive nervous system.

Tomorrow, I’m teaching a 2-hour pranayama workshop focused on mid-chest breathing (Madhyam Pranayama) from the Gitananda Yoga tradition.

It’s a practice that helps regulate your energy and support emotional steadiness—especially this time of year.

Breathing this way supports:
💓 Emotional regulation
🌬️ Increased vagal tone
🫁 A more resilient heart and nervous system

Yoga is all about self-regulation in the Gitananda tradition, energy is the primary consideration. How we breathe shapes how we feel and respond.

Join me tomorrow (Sat, Dec 6) to explore breath and movement practices that:
✔️ Release held tension
✔️ Wake up your intercostal muscles
✔️ Expand awareness through your heart center

Teaching is one of the great gifts of my life.

At my last workshop, the reminder of that gift was palpable in me, and in the room.
I aim to be the most effective and suitable conduit for the teachings of yoga - and in this case, from the Rishiculture Gitananda Ashtanga yoga tradition, and share from the heart.

The workshop was received with such warmth and presence that attendees asked me to teach again.

So here I am.

This time (Sat 12/06), we focus on emotional steadiness that moves through conscious breathing, thoughtful movement, through the part of you that connects to your inner steady state.

🫁 In this 2-hour workshop, you’ll explore mid-chest breathing, Madhyam Pranayama, the area most closely connected with emotional resilience.
💓 You’ll learn to use your breath to soften held tension and steady your energy, perfect for this high holiday season that can pull in every direction.

This is the *highest* form of self-care.

It’s real support for all layers of your mind-body system, so you can move and be with intention, clarity and calm.

Walk in. Float out.
Your breath is the bridge to emotional healing, the connection between your inner and outer world.

It grounds the mind, steadies the body, and lifts your energy when everything else feels scattered.

As this holiday season ramps up, this is how you regulate your emotions and your nervous system.

You’ll learn how to use your breath as your instrument to:
🌿 release held tension so your body can soften
🌿 steady your energy before stress takes over
🌿 regulate your system before emotions boil over
🌿 create steadiness and clarity to glide through the high season with more ease

It’s not about escape. It’s about connection.

Don't miss this chance to practice live with me.
