A few weeks ago I was interviewing an incredible life coach. Someone I hope to work with someday (though ultimately I was honoring myself in knowing now isn’t the time to add stuff on to my ever increasing schedule). During our discussion she was asking me about my life and I briefly mentioned I had […]

Self-Care is Crucial
YESTERDAY WAS ONE OF THOSE DAYS I talk about my trauma as if it’s in the past. Oftentimes it is. The immediate threat of danger is over. The intensity of living with an addict no longer exists. But it rears its ugly head and grinds down on me from time to time. And when it does, it is the reminder that […]
The Releasing Ceremony
Recently I stumbled onto the world’s best therapist. I am so grateful for her guidance, but mostly I’m grateful she is so in tune with her spiritual side that she allows me to dig deeper into my own spirituality and yoga practice every time we meet. The first time I met her I opened the […]
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 […]
How to Bless Your Home
This week during my classes, I worked on the idea of our Home Frequency. Elena Brower put out an amazing mini-article in her newsletter last week that reminded me of why I started the Shala and it resonated on an even deeper level as it was the first weekend of teacher training. It took me […]
A Yogic Guide to Gift Giving: Evolving Light
To say that I’m excited to have Jessica on the blog is an understatement. When I saw her beginning to showcase her reiki art/dreamcatchers online I knew I needed to have one for the Shala. I didn’t know what to ask for other than being drawn to something that looked like magical mermaid hair with tiny […]
Yoga Reaches Out 2015
This past Sunday I was blessed with the opportunity to attend Yoga Reaches Out for the third year. I have fundraised for this event for four years and attended three of the last five yogathons. What a complete joy to be a part of this organization for almost its entire conception (their five year anniversary […]
Endings and Beginnings: The Constant Vinyasa Wave
This past weekend I heard the words “an end is a new beginning” a number of times. I heard it during the sermon in church, at a crystal bowl healing and from a friend. It made me begin to think of the many times where my ends created new beginnings and filled my heart with […]
Free Love Friday: A Chat with God
I talk to God — a lot! Recently, a friend of mine mentioned that when we awake in the middle of the night (2:00-4:00am), it’s because the angels are thinking of us. I loved hearing this and for some reason, the past few nights I have been waking up around 3:00am! I keep thinking of […]
Woo-Woo Interview: Sasha Niala
Upon meeting Sasha Niala I was instantly filled with love, happiness and a sense of pure calm. I was so excited and eager to get and Astro Soul Portrait done alongside a beautiful reading. The reading was intense, as Sasha explained to me the intricate details of what was coming up during her painting of […]
