Sorry, Stef’s Gone Sailing!!

Just a reminder: there are no classes with Stef next week. Her classes will resume the first week of July.

Wish her well as she competes with Team Paradox ( #1485) at the Shark 24 Worlds regatta hosted by the Bay of Quinte Yacht Club.

Yoga is sneaky- little by little, changes are happening in your body and then one day, BAM!💥

You realize how far you've come.

This morning, one of my more recent students remarked that they have noticed themselves getting strong already! 💪

Just keep showing up, just keep moving through the shapes, just keep meeting yourself where you're at.

Trust that growth is happening.

What a gorgeous day to celebrate the solstice and raise money for !

Thanks to Silver-Lotus-Yoga for leading this beautiful fundraising session. The total isn’t final yet, so if you still want to donate to show support, reach out.

Join us for a deeply nourishing Mother’s Day Restorative Yoga & Sound, an invitation to rest, receive, and reconnect with the essence of mothering in all its forms.

This gathering isn’t just for mothers, but for anyone who has experienced the energy of nurturing, whether you offer it to others, long for it, or are learning to give it to yourself. Together, we’ll explore the many expressions of “mothering”: care, compassion, creation, patience, and unconditional presence.

Throughout our supportive restorative yoga practice, we’ll invite the body into deep rest and a nervous system reset. As you settle into stillness, you’ll be guided inward through breath and subtle awareness, followed by the soothing vibrations of crystal singing bowls and voice, creating space for restoration and renewal.

This is a space to be held just as you are.

Are you a yoga teacher?
Where do you go to practice??

Sometimes I run into my meditation and yoga students while practicing at other studios, and they're surprised to find me there.

"𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬?"

Here's what I'm doing:

1. 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐠𝐚 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞. It takes people registering and paying for classes to keep studios healthy, and I'm all for that.

2. 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞. There are teachers that I genuinely LOVE to practice with, I'll happily pay to spend time in their presence.

3. 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐲𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟. Working with different teachers forces me to move my body in ways I don't naturally go to. When you plan your own flows, you tend to avoid the shapes that need the most attention in your body.

4. 𝐒𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭.There is an opportunity to learn from and to be inspired by my yoga peers. Yoga teachers can support eachother in all kinds of ways.

So when you see me out there practicing, no I'm not there to spy- I'm there for all of the reasons above...

𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐚 𝐲𝐨𝐠𝐚 𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫 and you've been thinking of coming to one of my classes, you are most welcome.
