Duck-Duck-Goose

The last time I wrote a note, it was sadly about the loss of my sweet girl, Poppy, and the start of a July I didn't want. Looking at the photo above, you might think I went out and got a new cat—but that's not exactly what happened. Let me share the details and remind you once again that we can't curate or script life; it just happens.

As I sat in the shock of losing Poppy, I was in a daze for a couple of days. I moved around my yard, tried to comfort her brother Pepper, and sat on my patio, just grieving. I noticed something moving but refused to give it much attention. Pepper, however, couldn't resist. He jumped up and started a stare-down with the little one you see above, now known as Goose. I immediately said, "ABSOLUTELY NOT," picked up my things, and went inside.

Later that day, guess who was peering inside my patio door? I again said, "ABSOLUTELY NOT," but this time, I took a picture and sent it to my cousin, Angie. Her reply was immediate: "Oh. My. Gosh. She sent you a kitty! This makes me so happy!" Did Poppy send me Goose? Or was it just a coincidence? I told myself if this little cat was still on my patio the next morning, I would put out some food and water. Long story short, friends, meet Goose. She saved me in the days following the loss of Poppy. She didn't replace her or wash away my memories, but she gave me hope. And yes, Goose is a SHE!

And just like that, it's August. What a wild ride this summer has been. I loathe rides, theme parks, and rollercoasters, yet somehow I feel like I conquered some big fears this summer. I persevered despite big attempts to be brought down—but that's life. It's not linear, and it's certainly not meant to be easy, but we can hang on to hope, and thank goodness for that.

I'm not ready to go back to work. It's the first time in a long time that I haven't felt that itch to get back at it. I know why, and maybe that's why I'm struggling so much. I've gone into deep denial, and when this happens—WATCH OUT! For the past two weeks, instead of prepping my classroom, I've cleaned out my basement, put a fresh coat of paint in my bathroom and living room, taken my students out to lunch, baked, and played with Goose. The clock is ticking.

Just as I was trying to find some "motivation," an email from Bridgett arrived, perfectly timed. Her topic was "Motivation vs. Discipline," and it hit me hard. She reminded me that motivation is just a spark, but discipline is what keeps the fire burning when that spark fades. She described Tapas, the yogic concept of "burning discipline," as the inner heat that builds strength and endurance—the very qualities I've been cultivating on my mat. This made the path forward clear. I don't need to be motivated to return to the classroom; I need to lean on my discipline and remember the passion that has always been there, sustained by my practice.

And then, HOPE. Tonight I joined Brandy's meditation class and she ended with this verse.

"Having hope is kind of like praying, like asking for something and hoping your prayer is heard. Expectations are more like a demand, like saying here's what I expect of you, so make it happen. Having hope means you are trusting the process. Having an expectation means you are trusting the results. Having hope means the future is uncertain. Having an expectation means you are predetermining the future. Having hope is an action of humility. Having an expectation can be an act of pride. Having hope will never hurt you, but having expectations will leave you devastated."

Stay in Your Peace

It’s July 9th, and I’m sitting with Ginger and Pepper (my cats), trying to find my way through the fog of grief after losing Poppy in a tragic accident on Monday. My heart aches — not just for my own loss, but for the parents grieving their babies in Texas, and for a world that feels like it’s coming off the rails.

This was not the July newsletter I wanted to write. This isn’t the July I had carefully curated in my heart — especially after a June that felt like I was stuck in a life raft, drifting down a raging river with no paddle or life jacket. I was hanging on by a thread.

But all of it — the heartbreak, the unraveling, the unexpected turns — has reminded me that we can’t curate the perfect life, or even the perfect day. What we can do is trust the process, knowing that if we are truly living, it will never be a linear experience. My yoga and meditation always bring me back here, even when the voice in my head tries to convince me otherwise.

I was eagerly awaiting the summer of 2025. It had the promise of being one of the best, as my family and I began the wedding festivities for my daughter Emma and her fiancé Anthony. Let me be clear — it still does, despite the awful loss of Poppy.
Last summer, I was healing from back surgery. The days were slow and quiet. When my family returned to work, it was Pepper, Poppy, and Ginger who kept me company — often joining me for long afternoon naps or short walks around the yard as I slowly rebuilt my strength.

My cats have filled the void I felt when my kids went to college and eventually moved out. They are my “something to nurture,” my companions in this new chapter. For some, that may not be what the empty nest years look like — and that’s okay. Everyone finds their own rhythm in this stage of life. But for me, the role of cat mom fits.

As the summer of 2024 came and went, the fall brought me to my knees when my son moved to California. With my daughter by my side as Jim and Jimmy left, I stepped into the gaping hole left in my heart, surrendered, and once again trusted the path my life was taking.

Emma wrapped me in love, humor, and a reminder that we had a wedding to plan. When she returned to her new home, I’ll give you one guess who stayed behind to surround me with love. Obviously JP — but if you guessed my kitties, you’re right.
I dove into the new school year with a fierce commitment to do better than the year before. I planned visits to California, poured myself into my yoga practice, and deepened my meditation. After long days, tears, laughter, FaceTime calls, journal writing, and wedding dress shopping, suddenly it was May. Summer was within reach.

It didn’t begin the way I had hoped — or curated in my mind — but I made it through June. I left my work responsibilities behind with a clear intention: rest in July, celebrate Emma and Anthony, and prepare for Jimmy’s return to join us in the festivities.

Then, on Monday, July 7th, the universe had different plans. I was in shock. Then came the wave of grief — intense, all-consuming — followed by guilt, regrets, and a hundred versions of what if. I didn’t know what to do. I was brought to my knees again.

The outpouring of love, support, and kindness I’ve received over the past 36 hours has meant the world to me. Please know I see you. I’ve read every message.
On Tuesday, I woke up and remembered — yesterday actually happened. I sobbed. I combed through photos of Poppy and slowly crawled out of bed. I walked outside and saw the spot where we found her. I grabbed the garden hose and desperately tried to wash the stain off the road. It’s still there.

Back inside, I collapsed onto the couch. Despite every effort, I couldn’t move. I fell into a deep sleep with Ginger and Pepper by my side. They’re missing her too — especially Pepper, her brother. I wondered: How do I come out of this?
By late afternoon, I knew I needed to get up. Brandy was leading a meditation at the studio. Somehow, I got myself there. It was exactly where I needed to be.
Her message — spot on. As I lay on my mat, the studio darkened and a hard rain began to fall. Tears streamed down my cheeks. I did what this practice has taught me to do: I breathed. A long inhale, followed by a long exhale.

Once again, TANA Yoga brought me home — back to myself. I didn’t need to find peace. Peace was already within me. It always has been. It was given to me at birth.
Poppy — we loved you with all our hearts. You were the middle, the space between Pepper and Ginger, always reminding us to simply chill out. We will miss you, forever and always.

xoxo

Something to Think About

"So, the evolution is that we heal ourselves. We look at why things happen as they have. We process our big feelings. We discharge the energy and we do it again and again and again. We let ourselves see the bigger spiritual picture. We face it until we make it. And the we face it again and again and again. And we act. We reach and go beyond the stretch." ( Seanne Corn)

The Long Slow Dinner

We rush around a lot these days, me included. (You may have noticed.) We schedule, we travel, we barter (I’ll do this for you, if you do this for me) and we generally try, 24/7 to accomplish more. There’s nothing inherently wrong with ambition. Where I would argue there is something wrong is in our depreciating ability to enjoy the moment; to genuinely connect with the people in our lives and in doing so, foster a greater sense of connectedness.

As a wrong girl I have vivid memories of our kitchen table, the bench I sat on which had a view of my mom or dad cooking. There wasn’t urgency or a rush to leave the table. I also remember all of that changing and never sitting at the table again. Fast forward, high school and invitations to dinner at my boyfriend's house. It was deeply rooted in coming to the table, eating together, talking about the day - zero urgency. I was uncomfortable, feeling out of place. I didn’t appreciate it. That guy became my husband and no matter where we were or even if a timeline existed, when we were with his dad we stopped, sat down and ate a meal. There wasn’t the option to drive through or eat on the run. I rolled my eyes and sighed - not this again. It wasn’t until much later in my life that I understood the importance of a slow dinner.

As much a metaphor as an actual event, the “long slow dinner” doesn’t have to be dinner at all. Simply put, the long slow dinner is a chance to connect; an opportunity to build a depper, more meaningful relationship by showing genuine interest in the life of another; an interest, a willingness to help with no hidden agenda. All that’s required is a mutually agreed upon comfortable space in which to speak with someone you trust, someone who you genuinely want to see succeed.

Today I crave a long slow dinner but they’re harder to come by as the table gets smaller. Don’t wait, set the table, invite them over. PS YOGA continues to bring me into the present moment, without it I know I wouldn't understand the long slow dinner.

Keep practicing

Chapter 3 Continued

It’s been seven months since my son moved to San Diego, one year since my daughter got engaged, and the beginning of what I’m calling Chapter 3.

If you had told me this is what my life would look like at 55, I would’ve said, “No chance.” And yet—here I am. Maybe, just maybe, our kids growing up, moving away, and carving their own paths says more about us as parents than we often give ourselves credit for.

My most recent trip to California with Emma and Jimmy ended with a peaceful, easy feeling I don’t think I’ve ever felt before. Normally, I ruminate on goodbyes, letting the sadness of parting cloud the happiness of the moment. But not this time. This time, I took control of my thoughts and emotions—and it was the greatest feeling I’ve ever felt.

Don’t get me wrong. There were tears during that airport hug—the one on the curb where you're standing there, holding on and letting go at the same time. And again, when I got into my car and watched Emma walk away. Even now, as I sit here reflecting on the past week, there are tears. But they’re different. They’re not paralyzing me like they used to.

Maybe I’m beginning to understand Chapter 3. Maybe I’m finally stepping into it.

Maybe, my practice is leading me back home.

Yoga is reflection. "Yoga, akin to life, is a process and a practice. Using asana to sit with ourselves in an ongoing way over time becomes a self-realization GOLDMINE." (Andrea Markum) It suggests to us that it can be rewarding to do the work rather than deflect.

Letting go doesn’t come easy for me. My old coping strategy was to deflect, stay busy, and overthink everything. It was exhausting, unsustainable—and pointless, because grief waits. It doesn’t disappear just because you try to outrun it.

When Jimmy moved in September, Brandy reminded me it was okay to call what I was feeling grief. I was grieving the end of something—the loss of Chapter 2: parenting within reach, under one roof. She also reminded me to breathe, to sit with it, to get quiet enough to listen and feel it fully—so I could move through it, not around it.

That’s what I’ve been doing. The work. The stillness. The discomfort. Through meditation, asana, yoga—I’ve shown up, even when it was hard. Especially when it was hard. And today, I’m so grateful I stumbled into this practice and stayed with it long enough to find myself on the other side.

In her most recent blog post my friend Bridgett Piacenti wrote about finding the "comfortable seat." A suggestion that asana doesn't mean only finding a comfortable seat in the posture, but also sitting with ourselves psychologically. "A nod as to how a yoga practice is a mirror to one's life both on and off the mat." (read more here (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1p6S_7wQv4ZGoHlt2pUuTJ5z8vujhy3mr/view?usp=sharing) )

Keep practicing. Keep showing up.
Join me back on the mat Wednesday 4/23 - 5:30pm

As we step into a new week, return to the simple things that ground and grow you. Drink water, move your body, breathe deeply, get fresh air, reset and smile. Nourish yourself with good food, good thoughts and surround yourself with those who lift you up. Sleep well, and be kind to your mind. Lead with love. You are gently coming back home to who you were before the world got its hands on you.

April's Guest Writer

Every month, I like to begin our newsletter with a few words on life, yoga, health—or whatever happens to be tugging at my heart in the moment. This month, I’m excited to share this space with one of our TANA Yoga instructors. I've invited our teachers to occasionally lend their voice to these openings, and I’m thrilled to welcome Brandy Gilbreth as our guest writer.

When I think of Brandy, I’m reminded of a quote by Joseph Campbell:
“If you can see your path laid out in front of you step by step, you know it’s not your path. Your own path you make with every step you take. That’s why it’s your path.”

To me, this quote is a powerful reminder that growth rarely comes from the easy road. The true path—the one that’s ours to walk—is often filled with uncertainty, challenge, and moments that ask more of us than we think we can give. And yet, that’s where the magic happens.

Brandy came into my life during a season when I was tempted to take the easier route. Through her presence and her guidance in meditation—a part of my practice that I often found the hardest to stay with—she helped me stay true to myself. Brandy reminds me that growth lives in the uneasy. You have to sit with it. Stay with it. That’s where the transformation begins.

How lucky are we at TANA Yoga to have her as part of our community?

Brandy, thank you for walking your path, for sharing your gifts, and for helping others stay on theirs. We're so grateful you're here.

((big hugs)) Amy

Finding Stillness in a Noisy World

Sometimes, I have to remind myself to just breathe—to honor the space between and tune out the noise of the day. The world feels especially loud right now. The constant stream of news and media can feel overwhelming, suffocating even. And while I’ve never been one to bury my head in the sand and quietly wish things away, these times feel different. For the first time, I understand the temptation to disconnect completely.

But instead of retreating, I seek out community, friendships, and spaces that feel safe and familiar. And more often than not, I land at TANA Yoga. My practice brings me back to myself, and suddenly, the noise fades away.

A friend recently reminded me of a passage by Vex King:

“If you don’t want to be criticized, hide from the world. Stand for nothing. Never express yourself. Keep creativity hidden—but remember, you deserve more than a life lived in fear and anonymity. Progress and growth demand bravery. Have the courage to be disliked while staying kind. Meet cruelty with grace, and stand tall in who you are, no matter the noise.”

It’s not always easy to find peace in the midst of chaos, but my practice has given me the tools I need to stay grounded and true to myself. No matter how uncertain or heavy the world may feel, I know this: I am never disappointed, never lost, never angry when I’m on my mat.

TANA Yoga is more than a studio—it’s home to me. A place to return to myself. To breathe. To remember that, despite the noise, there is always stillness waiting for you.

Just breathe.

((big hugs)) Amy

Updates and more

TANA is getting a GLOW UP!
After 10 years of running this little passion project of mine, TANA Yoga is finally getting a well-deserved glow-up! Our website is undergoing a complete makeover, and I couldn’t be more excited.

For years, my kids have helped me build, maintain, update, and sustain our site—something I’ve cherished as a true labor of love. While I’ll miss that collaboration, I know they’re more than happy to pass the torch to the professionals. Enter Sequoia Digital Marketing (https://getreadyletsgrow.com/) , a talented, female-owned and operated team based in La Salle, IL. Thanks to them, the transformation is officially underway!

While our new site is under construction, our current website will remain up and running until we’re ready for the big reveal. As a small business owner, making big financial decisions is never easy, but I know this investment will be worth it. The new site will reflect who we are, where we started, and the consistency we offer 7 days a week. Plus, it’ll be easier to navigate for our students and community.

Stay tuned for updates—we can’t wait to share it with you!

Growing & Glowing: Updates to Our Studio Equipment
We couldn’t give our website a glow-up without also refreshing some of our studio props and expanding our equipment! Thanks to all of you, our community continues to grow, and with that growth comes the need for more resources to support our practice.

I truly appreciate your patience as I slowly chip away at these updates. As always, I ask for your help in maintaining our props and equipment—please remember to wipe them down after use and return them to their proper place.

Join us 7 days a week at TANA where there is a class for everyBODY. Don't forget to sign up and reserve your spot. Click HERE (https://tanayogastudio.as.me/INPERSON) to get started.

Meditation with Brandy returns Sunday March 16th

Did you know?

In keeping with my new section called, "Did You Know," I thought I'd offer something about myself. Maybe you already knew it, but in case you didn't, I thought I would be a singer on broadway. It was a dream I had since I can remember. In fact, my first year of college I studied vocal performance at a small school in Iowa. I received a scholarship and while I was there performed in the musical, "The Boyfriend," and Shakespeare's "The Tempest." I also was part of a traveling group that toured all over Iowa and Illinois during Christmas and Spring Break. So, there you have a little unknown fact about me.
