Yoga is my whole life. I looked at the calendar and realized this year marks 10 years on the mat. Something that started as once a week, attending with my mom turned into a bi-weekly practice, and then shifted to almost daily. It transitioned into yoga teacher training and quickly moved from employee to owner. […]

How Yoga Helps with My Triggers
Trigger (v): (especially of something read, seen, or heard) distress (someone), typically as a result of arousing feelings or memories associated with a particular traumatic experience.

Sadhana Check-in
This weekend marks the full moon, the time when I’ve been doing my daily sadhana for two full weeks and I believe the perfect time to let you in on what I’ve been up to! While I was in my 500 hour teacher training, I learned the art of a sadhana. Sadhana has many translations […]
Practicing Yoga OFF the Mat
This past week I performed the most amount of yoga I have since I met my little smush. At 4 weeks postpartum I decided I was ready to tackle teaching a class and I’ve been going ever since. It feels DAMN GOOD to be in my body after weeks of simple stretches and experimenting with adding […]

I have ALWAYS been a happy person, my thoughts combining sunshine, glitter and radiance. I roll out of bed dreaming of a day that includes cuddling, green smoothies and maybe […]
The New Argument on Social Media
Dear Yoga Teachers, I want to start off by saying thank you so much for all you do within your community and our world. Being a yoga teacher is no joke and is seriously hard work. Unlike many other jobs, we can’t turn off at the end of the day. We chose to be teachers […]

Wonderful Wednesday
I am a huge fan of writing gratitude lists. I write them all the time!! This past week, however a series of unfortunate events prevented me from writing to you on Monday — so we are greeted with Wonderful Wednesday!!! To start, I want to take a moment to acknowledge my husband. He has been […]
Playlists & Evolution
This past week I was talking to a few friends about the evolution of our yoga practice as individuals and as a society. I have been on quite the adventure in the past few months and I can feel not only myself but the vibrational energy around me beginning to change how I teach and […]
