If you had told me at any point during my nearly 30-year career as a yoga + wellness educator that I’d one day be adding weights to my yoga practice, I would have said, “Absolutely not.”

Fast-forward to today…and, well, you can see me in this picture. 😄

Curious about how your yoga practice can get stronger with weights? Check out my new blog post in the link below. 👇

I was so happy to receive this note the other day from a student I had decades ago. I wanted to share it because feedback like this not only inspires me to continue the work I do, but encourages others to start or get back into a yoga practice.

We’re often very good at taking care of everyone and everything else—and not quite as good at taking care of ourselves. If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, emotionally drained, or like you’re constantly putting yourself at the bottom of the list, September--Self Care Awareness Month--is a wonderful opportunity to remember:

You are allowed to slow down.
You are allowed to have needs.
You are allowed to take up space in your own life.


Try this exercise:

Pause for a moment. Put a hand on your heart and take three slow breaths. Then ask yourself:

“What do I need right now?”

Maybe the answer is rest.
Maybe it's movement.
Maybe it's connection.
Maybe it's space.
Maybe it's a boundary.


Self-care isn't necessarily massages, vacations, bubble baths, or having more free time. It can look like:

Saying no without over-explaining.
Getting enough sleep.
Moving your body in a way that feels good.
Taking five quiet minutes for yourself.
Paying attention to what you're feeling and needing.
Asking for help.
Giving yourself the same compassion you give to others.


If you're ready to make self-care less of an occasional intention and more of a sustainable practice, I created something that will help. My Self-Care MasterClass is a self-paced, four-week online course designed to help you uncover what's getting in the way of caring for yourself—and replace old patterns with practical, realistic tools.

It includes four video lessons, weekly practices and journal prompts, bonus meditation and yoga practices, and tools for sleep, mindful movement, healthier habits, and self-compassion. You also have lifetime access, so there's no need to rush through it. And best of all, it's only $19.

You don't have to wait until you're completely burned out to start taking better care of yourself. And perhaps this September can be the month you begin.

🌿 September is Self-Care Awareness Month! 🌿

Self-care isn’t selfish—and it doesn’t have to mean adding one more thing to your already-full to-do list. It can just mean slowing down, listening to what you need, setting a boundary, moving your body, getting some rest, or simply giving yourself a little more compassion.

✨ Looking for some inspiration? I’ve gathered a myriad of blog posts to help you explore what self-care can look like in your everyday life.

Take a few minutes to read, reflect, and take one small step toward taking better care of YOU. 💛

A perk of being one of my private yoga clients: you get to share in the bounty from my garden! The cucumbers have been a big hit this summer.

Contact me to schedule your private session this fall. I’ve got lots of butternut squash getting ready to come in then! 😉
