🌞 Summer Solstice Blessings 🌿

Today, as the sun reaches its peak, we celebrate the Summer Solstice—a time of light, abundance, and inner expansion. This longest day of the year invites us to pause, soak in the warmth, and reconnect with the rhythms of nature.

In many healing traditions, this is a time for renewal, clarity, and deep nourishment—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Just as nature is in full bloom, we too can align with this energy to support our own vitality and balance.

Take time today to breathe deeply, move gently, and rest under the sun’s golden light. Let the light outside awaken the light within. 🌻☀️

🌸 Happy Easter! 🌸
Spring is a time of renewal—a perfect opportunity to reset, refresh, and realign with your health and well-being.

This season invites us to shed old habits and step into greater balance. Thoughtful changes to our diet and lifestyle, cultivating postural awareness, and working with asana and breath can deepen inner connection, build strength, and foster resilience—something we all need in these ever-changing times.

And while you're spring cleaning your life, don't forget to make sure your End-of-Life paperwork is in order. It's one of the kindest things you can do for your loved ones and yourself.

✨ Ready to make some meaningful shifts? I’m here to help. Give me a call.

✨ Reflections on the 45th Alexander Technique Retreat in Malibu ✨

What an incredible experience it was to teach at the 45th Alexander Technique Retreat in Malibu! Despite the fires coming so close, the serenity and beauty of the Serra Retreat Center held steadfast, radiating its remarkable sense of calm and peace.

Each morning, I had the joy of teaching Breath-Centered Yoga, weaving in the principles of the Alexander Technique to explore how we can do less throughout asana practice. The concept of "I Have Time" resonated deeply with this group of curious and thoughtful individuals who wholeheartedly embraced the Work. Their openness and engagement were truly inspiring.

And what a way to end the year! New Year’s Eve brought together incredible talent for our performance night—a beautiful gift of creativity and inspiration that unfolded so naturally, leaving us all moved and connected.

Thank you to everyone who made this retreat so memorable. I’m leaving feeling refreshed, inspired, and so grateful for this amazing community. 💛

✨🌟 Happy New Year 2025! 🌟✨
As we welcome this fresh chapter, let's fill it with love, health, and an ageless lifestyle! A new year is always a great time to reset—to let go of what no longer serves us and embrace goals that bring us joy and fulfillment. 🌱

This year, I’m focusing on Brain Health, one of the biggest health challenges of our time. Did you know that 1 in 3 people—especially women—will develop Alzheimer’s? This is personal for me, and I’m deeply committed to helping others make lifestyle changes to prevent and even reverse cognitive decline. If you’re in your 40s, now is the time to take action!

Through Breath-Centered Yoga, an Ayurvedic and Functional approach to diet and lifestyle, and the Alexander Technique, we can cultivate balance, poise, and vibrant health—tools that empower us to make meaningful, lasting changes. Let’s create a life well-lived together. If you need guidance or want to learn more, I’m here to help.

Here’s to a year filled with possibilities, growth, and radiant health! 🌟💖

Winter Solstice: A Time for Reflection

As the longest night of the year blankets us, the Winter Solstice invites us to embrace the quiet and turn inward. This is a sacred pause, a moment to honor our journey through the darkness—not just of the season but within ourselves.

In the stillness, we find the true meaning of yoga: the union of body, breath, emotions, and mind. By reconnecting to this harmony, we can refocus on what matters most. We can gently create new habits, soften the hardened edges of our being, and awaken a love that comes from a place of deep knowing.

Let this Solstice be a reminder to embrace your journey, just as it is, with compassion and courage. Take time today to reflect on your path—where you've been, where you are, and where your heart calls you to go.

In this season of stillness, may we all find the light within.

With love and light,
Carol

🌱 Creating Wellness for a Lifetime 🌱

Just like the wheels of a bike or a car, our Wellness Wheel needs to stay balanced for us to move smoothly through life. Wellness is not a quick fix—it’s a lifelong process that’s unique to each of us and needs to evolve over time.

Each section of this Wellness Wheel reminds us of the areas we can focus on to support our body, mind, emotions, and spirit. Making wellness a positive habit or an ongoing goal pays off as we age. The earlier we establish healthy routines, the better equipped we’ll be for the years to come.

As life changes, our priorities and wellness needs shift, too. Maybe you focus more on physical health in your younger years and then add more focus to emotional, spiritual, or social wellness as you grow. The key is consistency and self-care in every area.

💡 How is your wellness wheel turning as you age?
What habits help you keep your wheel balanced? What new goals are emerging for you in this phase of life?

Invest in Your Whole Self—your future self will thank you! 🌟

Can You Donate $25 today!

My Father died on Nov. 2, 2007, of complications due to having Alzheimer's Disease.

Alzheimer's isn't waiting — and neither am I. This year, I'm participating in the Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's® to raise funds and awareness for Alzheimer's care, support, and research. Will you support my efforts by making a donation on my fundraising page?

Every dollar you donate helps the Alzheimer's Association® provide care and support to those facing Alzheimer's and all other dementia and advance critical research.

I hope you will stand with me in this fight. Together, we can end Alzheimer's.

I had my first Death Cafe at the Jan Kaminis Platt Library last Thursday. I am so grateful that Alissa Hopkins came and supported me. She is an End-of-Life Doula with Before I Go, also in Tampa. We had a great discussion about death and dying and ways to move this conversation forward.

I will be having another one on Nov. 21st at 6:30 pm. Hopefully, more people will attend! If you know people in the Tampa area, please help spread the word.

Thank you, Alissa!
