Happy Winter Solstice loves! I spent an early morning in the woods. It was Dark. Chilled. Free. Happy. Listening to the crunching beneath my feet. I do my best to walk gently on Her. I thank Her mentally, often, for bearing my weight- in all ways. Today is a magical one ✨️ We remind ourselves that even in the darkness, we have the choice to breath in to the light and expand it. With Tao we learn everyone has this light, regardless of how dark and consuming their shadow may be. We dust, we polish, we refine...and the light, no matter how small, can still become brighter than any darkness. Connection to Breath and Intention are the way. DM for a spot in tonight's Solstice Circle (held on Zoom. All are welcome, regardless of experience) ⚪️ OM 🕉

Rest there. It doesn't matter what the pose looks like, or how 'advanced' it is. Rest there. Remain open. Hold on to nothing. Stay there. Rest there. This is how you truly master a pose. #802

When I began practicing yoga over a decade ago, my daughter was 2 and I had an overwhelming sense of not knowing who I was anymore. There was a moment in my living room where I was singing the theme song to Wonder Pets for the millionth time and I thought to myself 'I don't even know what music is popular on the radio anymore'. That thought planted a seed and caused me to start doing more for myself little by little until one day I randomly decided to research yoga trainings in my area. The purpose of this was to simply do something for myself, to discover a little more about something that made me curious, and to have fun. I never intended to teach- ever. In fact I actively kept to myself, and I avoided doing more than necessary during the 'teaching' aspects of the training. It was during this time I first heard the name Dharma Mittra mentioned, and wow- has that inspired me to go to whole new worlds (but more on that later). I soon found myself wanting to share, so I did. Before I knew it, I was several trainings in and teaching 15 classes/ week - sometimes more. Now, my hope is to spread compassion - the highest teaching - and make yoga accessible to as many people who are interested. What started as a simple Google search became so much more very quickly, and I'm grateful this is the journey I'm on 🙏🕉 #802

It's time for my annual blanket drive! Fall cleaning usually brings out a lot of extra blankets. If you'd like to give them away, please message me so we can arrange a pick up and they can be donated to the local homeless shelter
