🌑✨ This weekend’s rare alignment of the new moon, solar eclipse, and autumnal equinox invites us to pause, reflect ans move into balance.

I’ll be holding a 90-minute class called Turning Toward Stillness where we’ll slow down together: releasing what feels heavy, setting intentions for what’s next, and moving through gentle grounding yoga to help integrate these changes in body and spirit. We’ll close with a cleansing meditation to carry clarity into the season ahead.

It feels like the perfect time to pause, breathe, and reset. I’d love to have you join me. 🍂

🕉️💜I’ll be teaching in-studio again beginning next Sunday at YogaFace & Body Spa . I’m so grateful for Sarah Zackavec for giving me the space to reconnect with this part of the yogi path.

Class details:
Sundays 7:30am
Recover and Restore gentle yoga

This 60m class focuses on recovery through slow, gentle movements given supports and modifications to restore body-awareness, mobility and balance. We pause between poses and incorporate postures that will increase spinal flexibility, range of motion, and muscle restoration. Reduce inflammation and activate your body’s own healing processes during this mindful hour. We cultivate a practice of acceptance and gratitude of where we are in each moment and move towards recovering the mind-body-spirit connection. We end with a group reiki session in support of healing.
The class is open to all abilities. Special considerations are given to conditions such as systemic illness, chronic disease, inflammation, and injury rehabilitation.

I’ll see you on the mat🕉️

“Create a clearing in the dense forest of your life” 💙

Do not try to save
the whole world
or do anything grandiose.
Instead, create
a clearing
in the dense forest
of your life
and wait there
patiently,
until the song
that is your life
falls into your own cupped hands
and you recognize and greet it.
Only then will you know
how to give yourself
to this world
so worthy of rescue.

~ Martha Postlethwaite, “The Clearing”

"It's been said that the Mother Earth was the first Indigenous Woman. After all, she is the original life giver, the first ancestor of us all- from microscopic single celled organisms, to colossal prehistoric dinosaurs. Her blood our fresh water, flows like so many veins and capillaries, forming rivers and tributaries that sustain us. We evolved to exist in unison, forever linked and connected as relations. We are a part of her, star-dust children of the Sky and Earth. She is the divine feminine, Creator, and Mother. There is no humanity without her .." ~Ruth H Hopkins : Dakota/Lakota Sioux Writer

Om, Sarve bhavantu sukhinaḥ
Sarve santu nirāmayāḥ
Sarve bhadrāṇi paśyantu
Mā kashchit duḥkha bhāgbhavet
Oṁ Shāntiḥ, Shāntiḥ, Shāntiḥ

May all be prosperous and happy
May all be free from illness
May all see what is spiritually uplifting
May no one suffer
Om peace, peace, peace

Nothing is static. Life is not black and white, so how can we be “all light & love” all the time? It’s a phenomenon that exists within the yogic and spiritual communities. We are perfectly imperfect. We are human 🙏💞
