✨ Moving Toward the Light ✨

This time of year invites a quieter kind of movement — slowing down, listening in, and letting the smallest lights guide us back to ourselves.

Winter Solstice is near, and its energy is woven through this season:
the soft glow of a candle,
the quiet warmth of a tree lit in the dark,
the way breath settles when we pause long enough to feel it.

In yoga, vinyasa means to place in a particular way AKA intention.
This practice — and this season — remind us that even the gentlest movement can create spaciousness, warmth, and clarity.

If you’re looking to ground, soften, and reconnect this winter, you’re always welcome in class:

📅 Mondays / Wednesdays / Fridays
⏰ 10:30–11:30am
📍 The Barn Union Pier

And for those who love a special seasonal ritual…
🎄 Christmas Eve Morning Yoga — Wed, Dec 24
✨ New Year’s Eve Morning Yoga — Wed, Dec 31
Both are gentle, grounding, and open to all levels.

If you haven’t entered the Winter Solstice Giveaway, there’s still time:
1. Repost this reel or any recent winter post
2. Tag
3. Optional: share a winter ritual or intention ❄️

Winner announced December 21.

May these small moments of light continue to guide you back to yourself.

Taking a week of rest + reset ✨
Classes are paused next week 🧘‍♀️💛

Grateful for this community, and grateful to practice on the ancestral lands of the People of the Three Fires — the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi 🌿🙏
Honoring rest, lineage, and the teachers who came before us.

If the cosmos feels completely unhinged right now… sames

Mars is fiery 🔥, Mercury is doing its thing (but it’s not all Mercury’s fault), and with multiple planets in retrograde, it feels like a giant cosmic slingshot pulling us back before the forward launch. 🌀

Which is probably why last night’s Tuesday meditation was a universal “nope.”

Everything in my house worked — except I could not get online. Pure Mars chaos. ⚡️

I teach on Tuesdays because it’s Mars’ day — and Mars is one of the toughest placements in my chart. So leaning in, breathing through the heat, and showing up anyway is part of my practice.

And honestly? Weeks like this are when meditation helps the most. 🌱

Join me online every Tuesday at 9 PM ET
🧘‍♀️ 30 minutes
💻 Through
💸 Sliding scale — free or whatever you want to pay

If you’re curious about meditation in general, I also have a beautiful Intro to Meditation course.

From pre-K in Chicago to online school during Covid, to incredible teachers in CPS, and then finding our way to New Buffalo Elementary in 3rd grade… what a ride it’s been. 📚✨ Today was the last first day of elementary school, and my heart is full. So many amazing spaces, opportunities, and teachers have carried him here. One more year before middle school—what a journey. 💛

Some snapshots from a morning that filled my heart. Teaching these women—mothers, powerhouses, friends—was such a gift. Meeting and at the very first open house for our new school, and they’ve welcomed me with so much support, honesty, and beauty ever since.

And then there’s —my spirit animal in human form, always vibing on a whole other level.

I’m especially honored because one of these women doesn’t love yoga 😂 and still showed up for me. That’s love.

Grateful for this community of strong, real, radiant women. Thank you for letting me share my practice with you. 🤍

40. A decade ago, I had an astrology reading that mapped the next ten years of my life. I laughed when he told me I’d be a teacher by 40. Yet here I am — teaching, learning, becoming. Whether or not you believe in astrology, it’s wild to ignore how much truth lives in the stars.

Jupiter, the planet of learning, returned right on time.

This photo captures a moment of full-circle becoming — new clothes, a green chartreuse cocktail (crafted by monks, of course), and a heart cracked open by plants, presence, and a path I couldn’t have planned.

The biggest lesson? Don’t grip too tight. Nothing is certain but change. Ride the wave, even when you don’t know where it’s taking you.

Here’s to softening the ego, returning to the heart, and trusting that our inner teacher has always known the way. 🌿✨
