✨ If you're new here (or even if you're not!), let me reintroduce myself! ✨

📸I recently got some amazing new photos done by (and she inspired this post!) and thought it was the perfect excuse to share a little more about who I am beyond the yoga mat!

👋🏼Hey there! I'm Annie - your 52-year-old yoga teacher, studio owner, and fellow life-juggler who discovered yoga during one of my most challenging seasons. What started as a desperate search for healing while managing illness, two kids, and a corporate career turned into a complete life transformation.

After 25+ years in the corporate world, I found my true calling: creating a space where women can find not just physical healing, but real community and clarity during life's biggest transitions.

Fun facts: I'm a mom to two amazing young men (they're basically adults now and I'm still figuring out how that happened! 🤷‍♀️), a true crime podcast addict, and yes - A perfect vacation would be watching my favorite country artist (Morgan Wallen) on the beach, drinking iced tea and eating tacos!

🌑 This Sunday (September 22nd) brings us a powerful New Moon, the perfect time to start fresh and align with lunar rhythms!

This month at South River, we're diving deep into RHYTHM, and honestly, there's no better teacher than Chandra, the moon itself 🌙!

As women in this incredible season of life, we're learning that forcing old patterns doesn't work anymore. Our bodies are asking us to flow, to honor cycles, to work WITH our natural rhythms instead of against them.

The moon has been cycling for millions of years...28 days of growth, peak energy, release, and sacred rest. Sound familiar?

How to use this guide: Save this post, check which phase we're in each week, then notice how your energy feels. Does it match? Choose yoga classes, plan your schedule, and set your intentions based on the moon's energy. New Moon = gentle starts, Full Moon = powerful release, Waning phases = rest and reflection.

Which moon phase resonates most with where you are right now? I'd love to hear in the comments! 👇

✨ The Sacred Rhythm of Our Days ✨
Our bodies are constantly whispering to us about what they need and when they need it. In Ayurveda (the sister science to yoga), this wisdom is called Dinacharya - the art of living in harmony with our natural daily rhythms.

Here's what's beautiful: these ancient cycles perfectly support us through the transitions we're navigating in midlife. When we're juggling kids activities, aging parents, demanding jobs, hormone changes, and everything in between, our days can feel chaotic. But when we align with these natural energies, we find our center again.

Here's how Ayurveda divides up our day:
☀ Morning (6am-10am): Kapha time grounds us with movement and intention
🔥 Midday (10am-2pm): Pitta energy helps us tackle our biggest challenges with clarity
🌬️ Afternoon (2pm-6pm): Vata invites us to move and process the day's stress
🌙 Evening (6pm-10pm): Kapha brings us back to connection and nourishment
✨ Night (10pm-2am): Deep Kapha supports our body's natural healing and detox
🕯️ Early Morning (2am-6am): Vata offers sacred space for reflection and spiritual practice

This isn't about perfection, it's about coming home to ourselves. When our digestion feels off, our energy scattered, or our stress overwhelming, these rhythms become our gentle guide back to balance.

Yoga weaves through each phase, meeting us exactly where we are. Whether it's energizing flow in the morning, your favorite movement in the evening, or a restorative practice before bed, our practice becomes the thread that connects all the pieces of our day.

What time of day feels most natural for your yoga practice? We'd love to support your rhythm with classes throughout the day! 💕

🌟 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐑𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐑𝐇𝐘𝐓𝐇𝐌 🌟
Our bodies are designed for rhythm. From our heartbeat to hormonal cycles, from sleep patterns to the monthly rhythms that have guided us through decades, we are rhythmic beings.
But as life gets busy and our bodies get older, those natural rhythms can feel disrupted. Sleep patterns shift, energy fluctuates, and our internal compass seems to spin wildly.
‼𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒊𝒔 𝒘𝒉𝒚 𝒓𝒉𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒎 𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒈𝒂 𝒎𝒂𝒕 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒔 𝒔𝒐 𝒑𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒖𝒍.

When we practice, we're reconnecting with our innate sense of flow. Breath guiding movement. The steady pulse of Sun Salutations. Grounding repetition our bodies remember and crave.
This physical rhythm creates mental clarity and builds neural pathways for steadiness when life feels chaotic. It teaches us to ride waves of change rather than fight them.
Off the mat, this translates into:
✨ Better sleep and energy management
✨ More intuitive self-care rhythms
✨ Clearer boundaries with life's demands
✨ Greater ease with hormonal changes
✨ Deeper trust in our body's wisdom

Our community understands this journey. We know yoga isn't just about flexibility... it's about finding flow within structure and grace within life's changes.

🙏These local awards, like the A-List, are so much more than just a pat on the back – though we definitely appreciate those❤! For small businesses like South River Yoga, they're a lifeline. Every single nomination we receive acts like a ripple, spreading awareness about our studio throughout the local community. It introduces us to new faces, strengthens our connection with current members, and validates the hard work we put into creating a space for Community, Clarity, and Growth.

It helps us stand out in a crowded market and shows potential new members that we're a studio worth checking out. Plus, being recognized by a respected publication like adds credibility and prestige.
