✨ Yoga gives you wings! 🪽
Not the Red Bull kind, but the kind that expands your heart, frees your spirit, and lifts you higher.
Nothing lights me up more than supporting others as they discover their own wings.
Teaching yoga doesn’t just fill me up — it sets my soul into flight. 💫

Let go of the weight you’ve been carrying.
Let go of the rush, the tension, the stories.

This Saturday, you’re invited to join us for The Art of Surrender—a 2-hour Yin + Sound Bath experience designed to help you soften, slow down, and reconnect.

Bree and Marissa will move your body through breathing practices, supported poses and deep stretches to release physical, emotional and mental tension…
Then we will guide you into deep stillness, as healing sound vibrations invite your nervous system to rest, reset, and receive.

Hi, I’m Bree—and I’ve been teaching yoga full-time since 2007.
I came to yoga in my early twenties—searching for something I couldn’t quite name. What I found was a space where I could breathe again. A place where my body could soften, my mind could settle, and my heart could slowly, gently open. ✨

Since then, yoga has become not just what I do—but how I live.
It’s where I’ve healed, grown, unraveled, and found who I am.

Today, I’m honored to teach from that place.
I co-lead iHeartYoga’s 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training alongside Elsa Stuart—the owner of iHeartYoga and one of my dearest friends. Her vision, passion, and belief in me have shaped my path in ways I’ll forever be grateful for. She’s not only elevated my career, but my life as a whole—giving me space to lead, create, and rise beside her as we continue growing this beautiful yoga community.
🫶🏼

I also co-teach a 50-hour Yin Yoga Immersion with Jasmine Sapphire—a dear friend whose strength, discipline, and heart-centered focus inspires me and brings ease to everything we build together. 🌙

My classes are a blend of structure and spirit, stillness and flow—infused with creative sequencing, functional anatomy, philosophy, and presence.
It’s not just about shapes or flexibility. It’s about coming home to yourself.

Yoga has given me a path, a purpose, and a career I love. But maybe even more powerfully, it’s surrounded me with kind-hearted, inspiring humans—friendships and collaborations that nourish me in every way.

If you’re new here, welcome.
If we’ve practiced together, thank you.
If you’re curious about teacher training, yin, or joining a retreat—reach out. I’d love to connect.

Yoga isn’t just what I do.
It’s who I am.
And I’m so grateful to share this path with you.
Let’s keep growing together.

Stillness can be confronting.
Not just in the body—but in the mind.

Gomukhasana invites us to sit with sensation, to notice the subtle stirrings beneath the surface. It’s not always easy. The longer we stay, the louder the inner dialogue can become.
Discomfort creeps in—not just physically, but emotionally.

Stillness can be the hardest part of the practice.
Not the pose itself—but the quiet that comes with holding it.

Stillness holds a mirror.
Can you soften where you want to resist?
Can you stay without rushing to escape?

It’s with Yin Yoga, that we practice the art of the long pausing.
We hold. We breathe. We observe.
We learn that the release isn’t just in the muscles—it’s in the surrender.

As difficult as it is, this is what keeps me coming back to Yin.
It teaches me how to stay.
To breathe through discomfort.
To soften my reactions.
To meet myself exactly as I am—no performance, no rush.

Yin has become one of my greatest teachers. And in stillness,
I keep discovering more about me
I keep falling more in love with me
More in love with the stillness

If stillness feels uncomfortable, your not alone- that’s where your practice begins

Sometimes life feels like this pose—twisted, tangled, and hard to understand while you’re in it.

Our thoughts loop, our hearts twist, and we try to hold it all together in a shape that doesn’t make sense from the inside.

But with breath, with presence, with trust—we soften.
And eventually, the shape transforms.

It becomes art.
It becomes strength.
It becomes grace in the chaos.

Keep breathing.
Keep feeling.
You’re not stuck— just in the middle of a complex pose.

🏜️Vacation revelations
As I was trying to balance against strong winds, uneven ground, and chilling temperatures beneath this massive arch—one of many gravity-defying rock formations—I realize I am a witness to nature’s ability to hold steady despite erosion, time, and ever-shifting landscapes. I realized that both this ancient rock and I can find harmony, not by resisting change, but by adapting to it. Weather it’s a yoga pose or a bigger life balancing act......

☯️ Balance is never static—it’s a process.
⚖️ Lean into impermanence—be willing to adapt.
🤹🏻‍♀️ Let go of the death grip on perfection—find strength in softness.

Like the rocks shaped by time, I am not meant to stay the same—I am meant to grow, adapt, and find balance in the ever-changing landscape of life.💎
