Small but big change in my weekly class schedule, this week will be my last Tuesday evening 7:15pm class !! I started teaching that class almost 15 years ago?! (honestly I’ve lost track) and through it have grown so much as a teacher and met so many amazing people. I’ll still be teaching my Friday and Saturday 9am classes and look forward to teaching more series and workshops as well as creating more online content. My next 6 week Yoga for Scoliosis and Backcare series will begin on Wednesday February 4th at 5:30-6:45pm with registration opening this Friday . 🙏

Starting with a traditional Despacho ceremony led by a Q’ero shaman, followed by so many more amazing experiences including hiking along an Inca Canal, Machu Picchu, visiting a weaving family nestled high up in the Andes, Maras salt flats, and a traditional Pachamanca meal cooked inside a pit in the earth. Grateful for the all the memories that we will continue to process for a long time with this incredible group of people, thank you ✨

Many of my favorite and memorable moments of the year have been from this retreat on the Big Island last winter. It was quite a venture, never haven been to Hawai’i before, and it couldn’t have turned out better despite some of the challenges that arose. So grateful that I have the honor of being together with such willing and inspiring people to share practice, adventure, meals, and to create lasting memories and friendships. These moments will continue to be a resource to draw upon to stay strong and resilient together into this New Year. Looking forward to leading two retreats in 2025 in Peru this May and also closer to home in Sisters, Oregon! Still space to join me in Oregon this coming September!

Peya easing into yoga during the holidays..

12/22/2024

Supta Padangusthasana in its various forms is such a great pose for many things- use support for the outer leg to help relieve fatigue and aid digestion (perfect for the holidays). Use one strap to foot or add a second strap loop from top of thigh to opposite heel to traction the lower back as shown in the picture. Bring leg up, out to the side, and then over the midline for an outer hip opening and twist for the spine and organs. Surprisingly, when my neck is sore this pose has helped too!
