Only Connect

The inspiration for this series stems from the literal year of disconnection we’ve all experienced during the pandemic. The word yoga is translated to mean “to yoke” or “to connect” so the essence of this practice is a reunification. The times are demanding more of us right now. When we begin to reconnect, in the words […]

The Risk to Bloom

A comfort zone is a a beautiful place but nothing ever grow there! I wouldn’t exactly call 2020 a comfort zone for anyone…all of us have been pushed in some way. And yet, everyone experiences fear and the resulting immobilization. This is exactly why comfort zones exist. Research shows that when we are on the cusp of […]

Masterclass Recap of Wisdom Wednesday’s

I am super passionate about combining psychology (“the study of the human mind”) with yoga (“the study of the union of body, mind & spirit”).

14 Day New Moon Practice (Sadhana)

This 14-day New Moon Sadhana is a daily practice of writing, contemplation, and brief yogic practices. It’s a chance to pause from the chaos and a step away from the crisis to open to new energy. Essentially….to tune us into more hope!

My Dark Night of the Soul

About 6 years ago I found myself smack dab in the middle of a dark night of the soul. I had 3 young children, I was working myself to the bone, and my body began to revolt. Four rounds of strep throat in 6 months led to joint pain, diarrhea, migraine headaches, exhaustion, and brain fog. I could hardly […]

How is your Sleep?

How are all of you sleeping these days? I am feeling much more tired than usual, even if I get a full night of sleep. I’m also routinely waking up between 3-4AM. Unless I immediately fall back to sleep, my busy mind starts worrying and chattering and it’s a crap shoot whether I will sleep […]
