We’ve made some recent changes! Sunflower Yoga Studio is at Ken’s Gym, offering THREE classes:

• a slow Sunday morning class for ages 14+
• a power yoga class on Tuesday mornings for adults
• a kids’ class on Wednesday afternoons

The website in bio has more details, but registration *must* ultimately happen through Ken’s Gym for insurance, liability, and payment purposes. The front desk staff are so helpful!

The new Tuesday morning class highlighted in this post is for adults who want a challenge, a workout, and a sense of accomplishment after the slow burn of each practice.

One FAQ is about payment. Let me clarify! The kids class is a monthly enrollment, just like any other class . Adults have THREE payment options:
1. Drop-in (one time attendance with no commitment) for $18.
2. Buy a 5-punch pass that will drop your cost to $16/class.
3. Buy a 10-punch pass that will drop your payment to $14/class.

All three adult payment options still require registration for every attendance through the gym portal.

I am personally teaching this new Tuesday class! Bring a friend a break a sweat each week on your mat! DM with any questions.

Did you know we have a second adult yoga class at Ken's Gym? 🧘‍♀️
Both are drop-in classes, so no commitment on how often you go! 💪 And you can save big if you purchase a punch pass. 💵
Join us on Tuesday mornings at 9 am for some much-needed "you" time. 🕘
Drop the kids off at school and come relax with us! 🌞

Teaching yoga in Tooele county is a unique challenge. But we do it - TOGETHER.

Yoga is bigger than a style or a studio. Teachers who understand what yoga is are not competitive or territorial. They keep trying and keep teaching because they feel called to share the peace it brings, the peace we seek.

All the venues above the line are currently offering daily or weekly yoga classes. Each has its own vibe, its own strengths, its own style that isn’t found anywhere else.

The venues below the line have had to pivot and no longer offer yoga classes. We are grateful for how they served us while they could. 🙏🏻

Most of us are quiet, but we are committed. And we are always appreciative of the time and space you share with us. 💛

School is just around the corner, and yoga is great for the wiggles and worries that might be bouncing around your house. 🤪

Registration is now open for the first of our four new yoga classes at Ken’s Gym! Kids 5+ will move and groove, reconnect with their breath, and eventually (can you believe it?) find stillness in this weekly class.

Burn another hour on those early out school days! The class starts tomorrow and is filling fast!

Finally got my middle piecing fixed by . Grateful for all the education! (Pretty much everything I learned in the 90’s about aftercare was wrong.) I finally have what I want: five lobe piercings for the birthstone of each member of my family. 💚

Look at my G I A N T puppy. ❤️ He has the biggest heart. And he’s breaking mine, because I no longer have the capacity to care for him like he deserves. (I never really did, I just didn’t realize it.) Will you help me find him a *good* new home?

Today was the last of ten ski trips with my man this year. He single handedly made it happen, and all three of our kids came eight of those times. Here’s to making it through the w i n t e r 🍻

{NEWS} Because my kids are so cute, I’m scaling back on the studio. I teach senior chair yoga at VASA each Friday. If you’re looking for asana, find me there.

But yoga is s o m u c h m o r e that movement. I love teaching these other components through my studio. Most of my content is distributed via text from my business number. It’s worthwhile, succinct, and life-changing education. I ask for donations to only to cover the cost of the business number platform.

I don’t use traditional marketing techniques because I’m not a traditional business (and I always reserve the right to pivot or change my mind).

Please text YOGA to 801-447-1209 if you want in on the yummy stuff.

Beyond that, know that I would love to teach at YOUR workplace, park, or community center. Reach out with your ideas. I have all the equipment to bring to you. 💚

“Aren’t you scared of storms?” asked Tiny Dragon.
“Maybe once,” said Big Panda, “but I have survived them all – I have learnt that I don’t need to be afraid.”

Genuine thanks to all my genuine friends who showed an abundance of love and support this past week - love and support over social media. That’s not what a person always gets when they’re vulnerable on IG, but that’s what I get with you all.

Thank you for being my tribe, my safe space, my friends. 🤍

Intermission pic 📷 when I could barely smile.

The song just before intermission, You Will Be Found, is so full of hope - a song of support for our darkest moments of pain. The entire theater was vibrating with this energy of human community, ideal love. It was as if together we made a net, each person connected to each other in a web of togetherness.

And this is where I started to leave my body.

The lyrics triggered flashbacks - images of myself curled up, hyperventilating, terrified of the temptation of su***de; memories of the sobbing, the self affirming interspersed with crying out desperately for help. God, are you there? Who can I call? I’m okay. Please help me. I’m going to be okay. Please help me. I can’t see straight. I need help. Don’t let my kids find me. I can’t get to my phone to ask for help. Can’t some in find me? Where is the miracle? The person who just knows, who walks in to rescue me? To hold me and calm my system?

Without spoiling the plot, I can say that most of Dear Evan Hansen is centered around a fabricated friendship. The story of this song is that when Evan fell from a tree and broke his arm, his best friend found him and took him to the hospital. The community rallies around this message.

But it didn’t actually happen that way. Evan was alone. No one came. It was a lie.

I couldn’t celebrate in the connection with the hundreds of people around me, I couldn’t rise with hope as the music swelled. I also couldn’t collapse into sobs and fall into a PTSD episode. So I went numb.

Through all of the anxiety attacks over the past 7 years, my husband and my brother each sat with me once. No one found me the other times. No one found me.

As I write this, I ask myself what the benefit of sharing any of this trauma is. There is no bow on top, no silver lining. I cannot promise I will be there for you, and I cannot hope that you will be there for me. Not in the moment.

But there is some kind of freedom in breaking the silence and being seen. And I’m still here. I’ve made it through all of these episodes. And we can talk about it.

This is me talking about it.

One of the core pillars in our yoga studio is emotional safety.

My mama took me on a date last night to see Dear Evan Hansen. So many big emotions. 💔

It was the first time I dissociated (to my knowledge). My mom leaned over at intermission and asked if I was OK. Of course I nodded yes, but I couldn’t even speak.

Dissociation is one way the mind copes with trauma, and I have some real and recent trauma with emotional distress and mental disorders.

Going to this incredible performance was one of a series of events in the past 24 hours that is bringing up a lot of repressed emotion and sensation. I I’m trying to decide if this is a place for me to speak openly about it so that others feel safe to do the same, or be the same.
