A little bike ride in Lisbon ~ ❤️ Portugal. Yoga Retreat begins tomorrow~

Yoga for Peace ☮️🕊️

Sometimes the most meaningful way to create peace in the world begins by cultivating a little more peace within ourselves.

On Sunday, August 16th (1:00–2:15 PM), I'll be offering a special -Mojo Stretch & Release practice at Cary Yoga Collective in support of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF US).

Together we'll enjoy an all-levels, floor-based practice of mindful movement, gentle stretching, breathwork, mantra, and relaxation before settling into a deeply restful Gong Bath Savasana, supported by Karl on the gong.

This class is donation-based, with 100% of all donations benefiting WILPF US, the world's longest-running women's peace organization. Since 1915, WILPF has worked to advance peace, human rights, justice, and environmental sustainability through nonviolent action.

A heartfelt thank you to my dear friend April Clark for inviting me to be part of this meaningful event.

Whether you're a longtime yogi or simply looking for a peaceful afternoon of self-care, I'd love to share this practice with you.

✨ Come practice. Come breathe. Come be part of something bigger.

Retreat into Autumn. 🍂
There is something magical about autumn in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
The cooler air... the changing leaves...
the quiet invitation to pause...slow down.

Join us for a long weekend of yoga, meditation, nourishing meals, mindful hikes, meaningful conversation, laughter, stillness, and time simply to be.

Together we'll explore the wisdom of the Five Great Elements—Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space—as guides for finding greater balance, renewal, and connection in our daily lives.

✨ Just four spots remain.

If you've been feeling the quiet nudge to step away from the busyness of life and reconnect with yourself, this is your invitation.

“The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear.” — Rumi

☀️ Today... Pause. It's the Summer Solstice.
The longest day light of the year.
A moment to notice the light.
A moment to honor how far you've come.
A moment to simply pause.

THREE THINGS (magic in threes)

✨ Pause...
Breathe in for a count of 4. Pause.
Breathe out for a count of 4. Pause.
Repeat three times.

✨ Pause...
Name three things you're grateful for.
Big or small.
Let them settle into your heart.

✨ Pause...
Step outside.
Feel the warmth of the sun on your skin.
Notice the sky above.
The earth beneath your feet.
The beauty all around you.

✨ Pause...
Place your hands at your heart.
Ask yourself:
"What would I like to cultivate during the second half of this year?"
Listen quietly.
Trust what arises.

☀️ Happy Summer Solstice.

May this season bring light, nourishment, joy, and the courage to trust in the unfolding.
