Recently my son and I got our name change paperwork in the mail. It was a moment I can’t quite describe. I could begin with excited, honored, a touch sad and truly looking forward to our future {whatever it may hold}. Our future is so damn beautiful and as I shift from codependency recovery to […]
Yoga for Families of Addiction Gala sold out last night! It is our first fundraiser. Selling out was a feat I am told is not easy. We sold out in exactly four weeks. We sold out because people believe in this mission. They know that addiction can affect so many in their world and the […]
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.

This week’s Nama Say question comes from Dana. She asked about goal setting & intentions which is one of my favorite topics! Come check out the video below to learn more. It’s chock full of information… and if you look closely enough, you’ll see Apollo’s tail sneaking in there in the beginning. Get out […]
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 […]
Perspective is a silly thing. The simplicity of a word or sentence can change your whole outlook on life or a particular situation and flip it entirely on its head. This past month I have been doing a handstand challenge. My goal is to do a handstand every day from June 23rd until September 2nd […]
The past few months I’ve been interjecting bits and pieces of self-love all over my website. I began sharing deeper stories of a time when I didn’t love myself even one ounce, I started The Ahimsa Project (with some of the most amazing women I’ve ever met), and I took a deeper stare into […]
