108 Sun Salutations last night to honor the ending of summer and the beginning of fall. This time of year can be hard as it seems like time flies by yet the days and nights seem so dark. What a beautiful night spent in my favorite place. I look forward to Autumn and taking time to enjoy the moments that bring stillness.

My Autumn Mantra:

Take time to pause and embrace the darker days ahead with gratitude.

I look forward to offering Kids Yoga the FIRST Monday of each month, October 5th @ 5:15pm-6:15pm!

So you think yoga is a religious practice? So you think yoga is about touching your toes? So you think yoga is about elegance & peace? So you think yoga is just for girls? So you think yoga is just stretch work?

What is Yoga about then?

💪🏽🅢🅣🅡🅔🅝🅖🅣🅗 - your inner and outer! 💪🏽

Yoga is what helped me and essentially saved me when I was at my lowest. Yoga is what kickstarted my true healing process from Postpartum Anxiety & PTSD. Yoga taught me that I WAS STRONG & I WAS CAPABLE. Yoga taught me to accept life’s challenges and manage my anxiety. Yoga taught me that I can be myself again, but stronger, and calmer. Yoga allowed me to feel all the hurt yet to accept it and work through it. Yoga gave me space to breathe and feel safe. Yoga gave me friendships. Yoga gave me instructors who make me feel strong & confident.

After 2.5 years I can truly say that I am stronger, I am better, I feel safe in my body, I am healthier, I can cope, I am me once again…different but for the better.

Yoga is STRENGTH - Yoga is about YOU! Yoga is diverse!

Namaste 🩷✌🏼

SCHOOLS OUT FOR SUMMER!!!

That means you may get to see me at a few places teaching kids yoga! Excited for the friendships I have made through yoga and their support and faith in me as a kids instructor!

I just wrapped up year 12 of teaching K-4 kiddos! I am a certified PK-12 Phys. Ed teacher. Excited for summer!

Tonight was perfect. I’ve been wanting to share yoga with my school family since we learned our building was going to close. A lot of stress and worry came about.

Yoga has helped me heal from trauma I experienced from childbirth and postpartum. Yoga has also taught me how to handle my anxiety and accept my self mentally and physically even on the hard days. I am forever grateful for yoga and the instructors who helped me through my journey of healing.

Tonight I finally got to share my love for yoga while having one of my best friends, Shana lead the class! Not only was this for us to navigate change and uncertainty BUT we were able to do this for a co-worker starting her cancer journey and raise funds for her and show her she’s not alone!

Forever thankful for yoga, forever thankful for the instructors, forever thankful for my co-workers!

✨Katy - you’re strong and ready to battle!
✨Everyone looked awesome! As Shana would say, strong work!
