✨ It is that time again! Our Monthly Yin yoga class at Sound & Yoga in Portland, Maine, was a huge success last month! There are just a couple remaining sopts left in this limited-size class.

✨ Unsure of whether you can participate in Yin? Reach out to me with any concerns. However, yin is accessible to just about anyone. I offer several modification for each pose, and encourage eac participant to find the "shape" that is correct for your body in that moment.

🎄 Next Tuesday's class is prepared with the upcoming holiday bustle in mind, with a focus on unwinding undue tension in the body and supporting clarity and groundedness as we navigate the last few weeks of 2025!

🎄 Join me, Kalyani Nicole, on a journey of loving support and nurture, next Tuesday, December 16th, from 5:45pm to 7:00pm.

All props are provided!

Coming this Tuesday! Join me for Yin yoga and feel ready to embrace the Holidays! Still a few spots left!! ✨

You asked, we listened. I am so happy to announce that we are offering Monthly Yin Yoga classes at Sound & Yoga in Portland, Maine, starting Tuesday, Nov 18th!

It is with great Joy that I am curating these first two Yin classes to support YOU as you enter this Holiday season. These first two classes will focus on supporting ourselves during the bustle of the coming Holiday season. This practice is an invitation to pause, to step away from the hustle, and to offer yourself the gift of deep rest.

We’ll be moving through a series of foundational Yin yoga postures, focusing on stillness, breath, and the present moment rather than muscle engagement. In Yin, we hold poses for several minutes at a time, allowing gravity and time to gently stretch the deeper connective tissues—our fascia, ligaments, and joints. This practice isn't about doing more; it’s about being more present.

Our intention for this session is simple: to help you find a sense of balance, relaxation, and profound rejuvenation. By cultivating this inner calm, you are better equipped to navigate the external demands of the season with grace and a full heart.

Do you love horses?

Do you want a job helping them?

Consider joining our growing team at Peace Ridge’s Northeast Equine Sanctuary

Together, our (relatively) small staff is running one of the most active, respected, and effective equine and farmed animal sanctuary systems in the country and we’re looking to add an additional team member at our horse shelter.

Around here, the animals are our family, and we’re looking for a reliable, responsible, kind person who wants to help be part of our powerhouse team to not only make sure each of our horses gets the very best daily care, but that we’re constantly striving to help as many as we can.

We’re looking for someone who will love the horses like their own, take the work and mission seriously, show up when they are supposed to (no matter the weather), make sure the horses are getting everything they need each day, and be someone the rest of the team, and most importantly the horses, can count on.

We’re looking for someone who wants to do this work longterm, and ideally grow with the organization over time. We’re looking for someone who loves horses and has the grit and heart to do this important work, so we can keep it all going.

One week until our First Monthly Yin Yoga class at Sound & Yoga in Portland, ME!

Join us for an evening of Yin Yoga with the intention of preparing for the coming busy Holiday season.

This practice is an invitation to pause, to step away, and offer yourself the gift of deep rest. We’ll be moving through a series of foundational Yin yoga postures, focusing on stillness, breath, and the present moment rather than muscle engagement.

In Yin, we hold poses for several minutes at a time, allowing gravity and time to gently stretch the deeper connective tissues—our fascia, ligaments, and joints. This practice isn't about doing more; it’s about being more present with what is, including the unease.

Our intention for this session is simple: to help you find a sense of balance, relaxation, and profound rejuvenation. By cultivating this inner calm, you are better equipped to navigate the external demands of the season with grace and a full heart.

This is a limited space, with still some spots open in each class. Visit www.idylwildme.com to book your spot and join the community of Yin Yoga.

These classes are offered at Sound & Yoga, 128 Cassidy Point Dr, 2nd Floor, Portland, ME.

I would LOVE to see you in class with me! I have missed teaching yoga, and I am in awe of the invitations to teach that are opening up. I am being told that it is time.

Many if you know that I spent the first 11 days of July in Italy with my boys. Two years ago, I was invited to join my boys on their Latin Trip to Italy. Having backpacked Italy at the age of 25, I have always wanted to share the beauty of this country with my boys. At 52 years old, Italy did not disappoint. My love of Italy and traveling abroad has been reignited!
Trust me, I am going to look into an Idylwild retreat in Italy for the future!!! In the meantime, Here are a few photos of our trip.
Just to clarify, this was not a vacation... it was an educational tour. As such, we saw soooo much and traveled all throughout Italy over those 11 days, visiting Rome, Pompeii, Sorrento, Capri, Orvieto, Florence, Ravenna, and Venice.
My favorite highlights , besides the food, were Bernini's David at the Galleria Borghese in Rome, swimming in the Mediterranean Sea off of Capri, and walking through the Holy Doors at St Peter's during this Jubilee year. There is so much more too! My heart is so full. Enjoy.

💕I never do this, but I have several massage/bodywork openings before the end of the month! For the next few months my Scarborough appointments will be limited as I navigate seeing clients in my Surry office over the Summer. So, here is your opportunity to be on my table for rest and rejuvenation!

💕I offer a Holistic (Intuitive) Therapeutic massage, Thai Yoga Massage, Reiki, as well as the Ayurvedic bodywork, Abhyanga and Shirodhara. Sixty, Ninety, and Two hour appointments are available.

💕No two sessions on my table are ever the same, as our body's needs are different every single day. Every session begins with a check-in to best serve your needs at the time; emotionally, mentally, and physically, as each are so intertwined. My goal is to have you leave your session as rested, relaxed, balanced, and centered as possible.

💕Feel free to contact me to book one of these openings, or head over to my website at www.idylwildme.com to book through my website. I look forward to nurturing you!! ✨

May 21st: 8:30am
May 22nd: 8:30am, 10:30am, or 1pm

🏵I am so full of JOY to share this two-day retreat with all of you, set for June 2025! In collaboration Todd Glacy and Sue Vittner, we are offering a retreat to embody a living a life connected to your own inner Joy. Through Yoga, Meditation, Discussion, Dance, Journaling, and Sound Healing, discover what may be blocks that inhibit you from living a more joyous, free, and connected life.
🏵Let's face it, there is a lot of reasons to get caught up in the heavier emotions of sadness, grief, and even despair these days. While it is important to acknowledge all the emotions, we can get "stuck" in these lower frequencies.
🏵Remember with grace the skills to maintain your true nature of flow and joy through this thoughtfully curated weekend retreat!
