One of the greatest gifts of yoga is how it teaches us to be present. ✨

When you’re moving through the poses or even sitting in stillness, your mind is gently guided back to right now. You’re not stressing about what happened yesterday or worrying about what’s coming tomorrow. Instead, you’re simply noticing your breath, how your body feels, and the space around you.

Yoga becomes a moving meditation—a reminder that peace is found in the present moment, not in the rush of the past or the uncertainty of the future.

Every inhale and exhale is an invitation to pause, to reconnect, and to just be. 🌿

Change is inevitable at times.

Will you allow yourself to stay open to change and embrace it when it comes, or try to shut it out?

I’ve always found that embracing change is the best route, as it often helps us grow as human beings and teaches us in so many ways.

This week, I’ll be weaving the theme of embracing change into my yoga classes.

Gratitude

Yoga has taught me how important it is to live in a constant state of gratitude.

Gratitude keeps us grounded in the present moment and allows us to appreciate all that we currently have in our lives.

Practicing gratitude can also shift our mood in powerful ways.

Gratitude truly lives in the space of our hearts. 💗

This week, I’ll be weaving gratitude into my classes as we move through poses that connect us to our heart space.

Did you know I’m a Reiki Master?

Yep! I’ve been a Reiki Master since 2012. Reiki holds a very special place in my heart.

Before I received my first Reiki treatment, I was struggling with intense anxiety and had gone through a lot of trauma. After just a few sessions, I felt a huge difference—which inspired me to get certified so I could help others find healing too.

Reiki has so many benefits. Here are just a few:
• Deep relaxation
• Reduces stress and anxiety
• Strengthens the immune system
• Releases blocked emotions and suppressed feelings
• Helps assist in relieving chronic pain and tension
• Clears toxins from the body
• Restores energy and balance in the body

✨ Currently, I offer Reiki sessions Reiki Pagoda and Holistic Wellness in Avon Lake

I spent several hours being a guinea pig yesterday for a lymphatic massage with my massage therapist. It was lovely—and also a great reminder of how important it is to make sure this system is flowing and functioning properly in our bodies.

Benefits of Lymphatic Drainage:
Reduces swelling and puffiness, improves immune function, detoxifies the body, and supports healthy skin.

Did you know yoga is another great way to support your lymphatic system?
Yep! Certain poses—and even deep breathing—can help stimulate lymph flow and keep things moving.

This week, I’ll be incorporating this into my classes.

If you don’t take the time to listen and tune into what your body needs, it will catch up with you eventually.

We spend so much time in our heads these days, we often forget to check in with our bodies—and truly feel.

Taking time to slow down and connect with yourself isn’t just helpful—it’s essential for your overall well-being.

Yoga is such a powerful way to tune in and notice how you’re really feeling—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Here’s what I’m offering this week 👇

Summer can be a time of growth and expansion.
We see plants growing, gardens thriving…

We, too, can grow—if we allow ourselves to. Every day is an opportunity to grow in some way, even if it’s small.

Yoga continues to help me grow in so many ways, and it can help you grow too. You just have to open your heart and mind to it all.

This week, I’ll be offering classes centered around the theme of growth and expansion—with a focus on shoulder and chest openers.

Besides our shoulders, our hips hold a ton of tension.

Not only that, but they’re also where many of our emotions and feelings are stored.

Yoga is a powerful way to explore how your hips are feeling physically and to release some of that built-up tension.

It also allows you to connect with your emotions and let go of what’s no longer serving you—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Happy International Yoga Day!! 🧘‍♀️

Yoga has been a huge part of my life for a very long time.

For me, it saved me. It transformed me and my life—and it’s more than just poses. I use the practice of yoga in so many aspects of my life, both on and off the mat.

How has yoga changed your life?

If you haven’t started a yoga practice yet, I highly recommend it. It all comes down to self-care—and you deserve that. 💗

Yoga will always meet you where you are. It doesn’t care what kind of body you have—remember, it’s way more than that.

Friday is the first day of summer and the solstice. ☀️

During the Summer Solstice, the sun reaches its highest point in the sky and gives us the longest day of the year.

The Summer Solstice is almost upon us, reminding us to celebrate the nourishing light of the sun—and the light within each of us. 🌞✨

How are you honoring the light within you? Maybe you need some time to tune in and reflect.

Yoga is a great way to do so. I’ll be offering classes this week themed around the solstice:

Tuesday:
🧘‍♀️ Gentle Yoga @ 4:30 PM
🧘 Yin Yoga @ 6:00 PM

Friday:
🧘‍♀️ Slow Flow @ 9:00 AM

Sometimes we don’t even realize what we’re carrying around.

Until we slow down, breathe, and sit with it—we might not even know.

That’s why the practice of yoga is so powerful. When you connect your breath with your body—and even your mind—you begin to uncover what’s youre carrying around with you.

Whether it’s something physical, mental, or emotional.

If you need space and time for this, here’s what I’m offering for yoga this week.
