Year of the fire horse energy is bold, untamed, passionate, forward-moving and Yoga Nidra is receptive, grounding, integrating, steady.
A sacred polarity- fire is the activation, rest is the integration. The horse runs , the Earth receives.

In a world that moves quickly and asks so much, choosing to tend your own heart is not selfish—it is sacred.

Today, may you soften.
May you speak to yourself with kindness

02/03/2026

In a world that feels loud, fractured, and overwhelming. Keeping the heart open in times like these doesn’t mean bypassing reality or forcing positivity—it means tending ourselves well enough that we don’t harden.

Our Open Your Heart workshop Sat Feb 7th 5-7pm in Redondo Beach becomes a quiet act of resistance against numbness. A way to stay soft, compassionate, and connected—even when the world feels chaotic.

This is the quiet work of rest
Not fixing.
Not forcing.
But returning to yourself often enough that clarity, care, and calm can rise naturally.

If you’re feeling tired, stretched, or resistant to slowing down, nothing has gone wrong. That resistance is often the doorway. And rest—when practiced with gentleness and consistency—becomes a way home.

This Is Your Permission Slip to Rest 🛌
As we closed our 21 Days of Rest with Yoga Nidra on Sunday, I’ve been sitting with what has quietly emerged—not big declarations or dramatic shifts, but honest realizations about rest, permission, and self-trust.

I’ll be offering Open Your Heart: Sacred Self-Care for the Month of Love at Harmony Yoga Redondo Beach on February 7th at 5-7pm —a spacious, nourishing workshop of restorative yoga and Yoga Nidra for anyone longing to soften, rest, and reconnect.

My mission is to guide women to practice extreme self-care and self-love using the ancient wisdom of the goddesses.

In 2014 I created "Transformational Goddess Retreats- A retreat to “bring you back home to yourself".

I learned from years of watching my mother, a registered nurse and mother of five – that as caretakers, women are often the last ones to nurture themselves. I swore I wouldn’t journey the same path, but as a nurse and massage therapist myself, I experienced the same “over giving” and neglected my own needs. It wasn’t until my awakening with the goddesses through a pilgrimage to the mythical birthplace of Aphrodite in Pathos on the island of Cyprus that I was inspired to not only practice self-love on a much deeper level, but also become an advocate for empowering all women.

I believe we are all connected to a lineage of Sacred Feminine power; a power told in the ancient mythologies and stories of the goddesses. Over the years we’ve forgotten these stories, but through a sacred retreat, a vacation away from your day-to-day life, you will remember and begin to care for your body and soul.

From this experience my mission has become to guide women to practice extreme self-care and self-love using the ancient wisdom of the goddesses and feminine mystics; this is how Transformational Goddess Retreats was born.
