Love & Belonging
Do you feel disconnected, untethered, or adrift? Have you lost your community or opportunities to make meaningful connections? Do you miss your in-person group classes and events?

This niyama is about mastering the art of feeling at ease and at peace […]
Yoga is the journey
“Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self” The Bhagavad Gita. Often the question is asked, what is the purpose of practicing yoga? Is it to become more present, more patient, more flexible, more creative, more self-confident, more loving, more mindful – or to be? This is the paradox of […]
Niyama: Svadhyaya – study of self

Svadhyaya also means to study yourself. Take an honest look reflecting on how your thoughts, actions, and words impact your life, your practice, and […]
Teaching to a Camera…Talking to a Mic
For fourteen weeks now, I have taught all of my classes online using the Zoom platform. I transformed my business from a “face-to-face, in-person” experience to an “online, view-through-a-screen” experience.
