It was a fun evening shared with a few of my favorite people! Center of Solitude’s Peaceful Harvest fundraiser event featured outstanding homemade vegan food buffet, live music, connecting with nice people, and a few rounds of highly competitive Mindfulness Bingo!

September! Reset. Refresh. Restore. Ahhhhhh..........As we evolve with cooler weather, waning daylight, and the colorful beauty of autumn, we can use a reset in our evolving selves too. Join me for any of my yoga classes to explore ways that you can benefit from various styles of yoga movement, mindful breathing, and especially the pause from the stresses of daily life. Looking for a deep relaxation? Join any of my online Yin Yoga classes on Tuesdays, 7 pm in September, or should I say Septembahhhhhhhh?! Curious about yoga? Contact me with any question you might have. Namaste, friends!

Here’s a reminder that my yoga classes are on pause for the remainder of August so I can take my annual “rest and recharge” from teaching. I hope you take this time to take care of yourself too (and keep your home yoga practice going! ) I’ll you the first week in September! Namaste, dear ones!

Every forest is a perfect contemplation station, but I was grateful for this handy bench on our hike today.

Refreshed. Energized. Humbled. Grateful. Just a few words that only begin to capture how I feel after a week’s immersion in northern Ontario where I was held by water, boreal forest, land of Indigenous peoples, and an endless sky. I have the mosquito bites to prove it too! Come join me for one of my classes this week where we’ll explore groundedness, breath exploration, and letting go. Wednesday at 8 am on Zoom or at 5:30 pm in studio at the Olean Meditation Center.

Here I’m pictured honoring at 300 year old white pine located in a stand of old growth at the edge of the boreal forest in the Temagami region of Ontario.
