Warning: Deconstructing the Ego Video Just Out contains some harsh language in the beginning but we move past it and as always I bring the conversation right back to yoga.

Your light body, soul self, has been in a coma while your EGO has run amuck. Our EGO is very limited because it believes in separation from the divine. This ...

To continue honoring my mentors, I have decided to focus on another set of women who taught me all about Reiki. Bari Horton is someone who came into my life at the perfect time. I have been researching how to get trained in reiki for three years before she showed up. They say when the student is ready, the teacher will appear. She not only taught me Reiki I & II, she offered sessions at the original Half Moon at the Aspen Grove location. That was the beginning of my Restorative & Reiki workshops dating back to 2012. I had a few scattered personal sessions at that time. Fast forward to 2018 is when I met Alison Ledbetter. A Medium who used Reiki for past life integration & healing. When she decided to rent space at the back of the studio it came with the condition that she would train people at the studio, including me. So I trained again in Reiki I & II under her guidance and later became a Reiki Master in 2021 by her. Alison and I became the best of friends through the pandemic and her mentorship helped propel me to a whole new intuitive level. I can now confidently say I not only offer reiki, but Intuitive Reiki. If you are wanting a private session from me, I conduct them out of my home office. They generally last an hour and a half. If you are looking for just a dose of reiki, I’m offering a Restorative + Reiki tonight at Unity Yoga Room in Mt Juliet 6-7:30pm. If you have been thinking about learning this energy healing work, I’m offering Reiki I & II attunement & certification retreat in December out at Leiper’s Fork. Stephanie Jones & I are also planning a training retreat to Dominica which will include Reiki I & II certification as well as training in Shamanic practices, rituals, & journeys (guided meditations) in 2026. Details coming soon

Today we honor our teachers on this path of yoga. To the left was my first live teacher, Jan Thrasher, who owned One2Yoga in Donelson. I found her immediately following 9/11 as a flight attendant when I had just moved to Nashville. She inspired me to connect to my body, taught me to breathe properly, introduced me to chakras, & believed in me when I wanted to become a teacher on top of allowing me to work in her studio.

To the right, Gyandev & Diksha McCord who changed my life forever by introducing me to yogic philosophy, the spiritual path of Ananda Yoga, teaching me Jesus was a Master Yogi, imparting divine wisdom & the power of mantra, meditation, & affirmations. I trained with them at an ashram in California in both my initial 200hr
Yoga Teaching Certification as well as returning to get a Meditation teacher training certification. Even though I could thank so many other teachers after these initiations who may have taught me other beautiful gifts, including the additional 300 hr YTT through Asheville Yoga Center, this is where it all began and I’m pleased to honor them here today and always!

I always tell you guys when you’re traveling and/or walking a ton, it’s important to prop the legs up the wall or a chair. I do it almost every trip…so does Stephanie. We barely arrived to our final destination of Florence at 9am this morning just as the train system began their strike. Thankfully our Airbnb was open to let us drop off our backpacks so we could set off on foot! This is us immediately upon return! Yoga is way more than postures but it still only works if you do it!

When you travel with another yogi, you always make time to do at least some sort of practice whether it’s on a rooftop with views or back in the room!

Life is a fragile gift & we are being reminded of this so often these days, but please keep your vibrations high. Joy & Love are the highest vibrations so chase your bliss no matter what…it’s critical right now for the Earth & humanity!

In 2020, I changed the name I carried with the studio Half Moon Yoga Healing. I wanted to keep the moon title so I decided to change to Moonbeam Yoga after the teacher training program. Gabriel’s dad helped design me a logo back then to reflect something similar to my sketch I wanted to represent the new direction. The new website which I ended up not keeping used it and it also became the logo for my Moonbeam Meditation albums. I read once a blue lotus represents a preachers daughter so I’ve always used the blue lotus…its even tattooed on my right hip 💙 I don’t feel the need to always brand everything with this logo but nonetheless it’s been a moon and a lotus. My original Above Beyond Yoga name before I had a studio was symbolized by a gothic window frame with a blue lotus and instead of using the & in between above beyond, I used the Aum symbol. It’s been ever evolving and still is…
