This is my yoga mat, and maybe it looks kind of… gross.

I’ve been using this same mat for 20 years.
Yep—20 years! That’s a long time to spend with anything. I can’t seem to part with it. Want to know why?

Because it’s actually my favorite mat. I’ve bought others—fancier, more colorful, brand-name mats—but they don’t compare to this one. I think I paid $9.99 for it at Target.

When I look at it now, I see the worn spots, the areas where my hands and feet have pressed down again and again. The spots where the mat has held me up, supported me, kept me from slipping.

This mat holds my story.
It’s where I’ve seen transformation—not just physically, but within myself.

Over time, I’ve become more mindful of how I feel. I notice how I miss my practice if I skip a week; how certain aches seem to disappear when I step back on the mat. Is it magic? I like to tell my students it is.

But really, it’s the practice.
The time.
The showing up.

Some days, I don’t feel as stretchy or as strong—but I always feel better when I’m done.

This mat may be worn, but it’s also where I’ve been reborn—again and again.

Maybe it’s not about the mat at all—but about who you become every time you return to it.

Do what you want. Seriously. Chase what sets your soul on fire.

Practicing yoga builds strength, mobility, and balance—so you can move through life with ease. Take care of your body, and it will support you. Yoga makes everyday life smoother, one pose at a time.

So go ahead—bend the rules, break the mold, and stand in your power. The mat prepared you for this. Now go do what you want.

Yoga for Better Sleep ✨😓

Unwind before bed with this gentle yoga flow designed to relax your body and quiet your mind. Try these six poses to ease tension and prepare for a restful night:

🌿 Forward Fold – Releases tension in the back and hamstrings while calming the nervous system.

šŸ„ Cow Pose – Opens the chest and encourages deep, soothing breaths.

šŸ‘¶ Child’s Pose – A grounding pose that melts away stress and promotes relaxation.

🪷 Seated Forward Fold – Stretches the spine and helps ease the body into rest mode.

šŸŒ‰ Bridge Pose – Gently strengthens and relaxes the lower back while opening the heart.

🦵 Legs Up the Wall – The ultimate relaxation pose to reduce stress and improve circulation before sleep.

Breathe deeply, let go of the day, and drift into peaceful rest. šŸŒ™āœØ

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!šŸ€

Let’s create some luck!šŸ€

Luck isn’t only about four-leaf clovers and good fortune—it’s also about mindset. 🧠

By practicing yoga, we learn to align our breath, body, and mind. šŸ§˜šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø

Being in alignment offers us the potential to create space for opportunity and abundance. 🤯

šŸ’”Try this: Step onto your mat today with an open heart. Flow through poses that invite grounding (tree pose) and gratitude (heart-opening backbends). While doing this practice, think about cultivating the presence of positivity within yourself, and invite good things into your life.

Maybe luck isn’t random—maybe it’s something we create within ourselves. šŸ’š

I hope you have a wonderful St. Patty’s Day! ā˜˜ļø šŸ’š

I’m so grateful for the opportunity to offer yoga at a spiritual retreat called Grounding in Bloom. I can’t wait to share this sacred space with everyone. Have you ever attended a spiritual retreat?

Today I decided to take a bath, and oh, how it made me feel so much better than before. Sometimes, the simplest acts of self-care can make the biggest difference. Life gets busy, stress piles up, and it’s easy to put our own well-being last. But slowing down, even just for a little while, can be exactly what we need.

Whether it’s a warm bath, a quiet walk, practicing yoga, or just taking a deep breath, self-care isn’t selfish—it’s necessary. What’s something small but meaningful you do to take care of yourself?
