As a yogi and teacher, I am always exploring new ways to deepen my practice. Most recently, I have embraced kundalini yoga in my personal practice. Kundalini yoga is a holistic practice that combines movement, dynamic breathing techniques, meditation, and the chanting of mantras. The series of postures, breath, and sound - work together to activate the glands, cells, and senses, awakening the dormant energy at the base of the spine and guiding it upward through the seven chakras. This practice is often called the “yoga of awareness “ because it helps you connect with your inner self and unlock your full potential. The KRIYAS ( specific sequences of postures and breath work) are designed to clear energetic blocks, detoxify the body, and elevate consciousness. Kundalini yoga has roots that trace back thousands of years in India, rooted in the Ta***ic tradition. It was popularized in the west by Yogi Bhajan in the late 1960s, who brought this powerful practice to a global audience. Its aim to awaken the dormant, spiritual energy within us, leading to self- realization and enlightenment. Breath work in this practice, strengthens the nervous system, promoting resilience and clarity. Chanting mantras helps activate and balance the chakras, boosting serotonin and dopamine levels, which enhances mood and overall well-being. Meditation provides a vital space to process what arises, fostering inner clarity and emotional balance. I truly love this practice and look forward to it every single day! It brings me clarity, vitality, and a deep sense of connection. “ Kundalini yoga is the awakening of your true self. It is the divine energy that transforms your life and elevates your spirit. “ - Yogi Bhajan. Join me for basic yoga this evening from 5-6pm

As a birth and postpartum Doula, I feel it’s important to shed light on how real postpartum depression is. I’ve seen it firsthand. When it first begins, a mother may not even realize what’s happening- her hormones are at their peak after childbirth. She might feel anxious, have trouble sleeping, and these feelings can seem completely normal to her. But from my experience, what distinguishes postpartum depression is the subtle progression. The mother begins to look exhausted, and sometimes her eyes take on a very intense, almost crazed look. She can become very anxious, fearful, and the situation can escalate quickly if she does not have the right support around her. Women need other women- friends, family, Doulas, and mental health professionals, who can recognize these signs early and offer help. No woman should have to face this alone. Postpartum depression and psychosis are VERY real and serious, but they are also very treatable. It’s equally important that woman break the cycle of thinking they are less than or doing something wrong if they need postpartum medication. Taking care of your mental health is a sign of strength, not weakness. Medication can be a vital part of healing and recovery, just like any other form of medical support. The handful of women that I have seen struggling, had no idea what was really happening until I gently brought it to their awareness. Once they were able to recognize the signs, we were able to work together to create a plan to get them the help they truly needed. Ladies and gentlemen we MUST break the stigma, listen with compassion, and support each other. Every mother deserves to feel safe, supported, and understood. If you or someone you know is struggling, reach out- help is available, and you are not alone.

The essence of Yoga is not about perfection, not about mastering a pose, not about following a rhythm. It is about noticing…simply noticing. Listening to what my body offers today, without judgment. Slowing down enough to feel what’s really there. Beyond shapes and sequences, Yoga is mindful- being present with what I feel. Staying with sensation, drinking in my breath, moving without forcing, pausing without guilt. It’s about softening effort, staying present, moving with awareness - weather in stillness or emotion. Yoga isn’t about becoming someone else or something new. It’s about meeting myself exactly where I am on a daily basis. That’s Yoga.: Simple. Practical. No more, no less.

We welcome a New Moon in Virgo September 10th–11th 2026. This new moon brings us back to the basics. What is working? What isn’t working? What are you ready to do differently? Virgo energy is practical. It reminds us that change doesn’t always happen through one enormous leap. Sometimes it happens when we finally clean up what has become messy, change the habit that isn’t helping, create a better routine, or make one small decision that makes life feel more manageable. This is a beautiful time for setting intentions around your daily life, your work, your routines, and the way you care for yourself. Do not make a list of all the things you need to fix, but instead choose one thing that would make your life feel better if you changed it. Ask yourself, “ what am I ready to do differently? “ Set an intention. Keep it simple. Then take one practical step toward it. What are you calling in with this new moon? JOin me for Pilates this evening from 5-6pm.

Living with Intention: “ Today, I will breathe deeply before I begin my day. I will approach my tasks with gentle awareness, moving through them without attachment. I will listen with an open heart, deeper than my words, and respond with kindness. I will soften my pace when I feel the urge to rush, honoring my natural rhythm. I will create small, meaningful moments that nourish my soul. I will honor my energy and know my limits. I will seek and find beauty in the simple, ordinary moments. Today, I will live as if my time truly belongs to me, embracing each moment with presence and gratitude.” Join me for basic Yoga this evening from 5-6pm.

As yogis, we know that true wellness extends beyond the mat. The way we nourish ourselves plays a vital role in supporting our overall well-being. What is mindful eating? It’s about being fully present with each bite- tuning into how, why, and what we eat and how it makes us feel. It’s a practice that deepens self-awareness and nurtures the connection between body and mind. Key elements: pay attention to hunger and fullness cues. Engage your senses by observing the appearance, smell, texture, and flavor of your food. Begin to notice your emotional triggers and patterns around eating. Dine without distractions- no phones and no screens. Before you eat take a moment to give thanks, remembering there were many different things that had to happen and many people involved to get this nourishing food to your kitchen, and we appreciate all their hard work. Cultivate gratitude for your nourishment and a gift of food. Why does this support our yoga practice on and off the mat? Mindful eating helps regulate our nervous system- promoting relaxation and reducing stress, both on and off the mat. It enhances emotional awareness, helping us identify and honor our true needs. It supports the gut brain axis, which influences mood, clarity, and overall mental wellness. September is a time to slow down, breathe, and savor each bite- just as you do during your yoga practice. Small mindful moments during meals can deepen self-awareness and bring greater peace into your daily life. Start today by taking a deep breath before you eat, ask, “ am I physically hungry? If so, make a nourishing, colorful, blissful, nourishing meal that your body and mind will thank you for. It’s important to place your food on a plate beautifully because it makes eating more enjoyable for your eyes. When food looks nice, it helps you slow down, appreciate what you’re eating, and enjoy your meal more mindfully. Say a prayer, and then use all your senses to explore your food. Chew thoroughly, allowing digestion to begin in the mouth. Halfway through, pause and assess your fullness. Share a meal with loved ones! Nurse your body, calm your mind and honor your journey.

September is a perfect time to switch to warm, moist, gently spiced vegetables, soups, stews, and meats. Prioritize foods that strengthen digestion, hydrate tissues, and soothe the nervous system. Incorporate more root vegetables like sweet potatoes, carrots, and beets-roasted with ghee and warming spices. Enjoy hardy soups and stews1 adding in lentils, chickpeas, rice, and seasonal vegetables. Cook apples and pears, then top with sprinkles of cinnamon, a tsp of fresh local honey and a few tbs of organic Greek yogurt - it work wonders for digestion. Soak grounding grains such as oats, rice, and quinoa in 2 tbs of organic yogurt before cooking them- this helps to build strength and ease digestion. Steer clear of raw salads and cold smoothies, crackers, chips, and popcorn, as they can be rough on digestion at this time of year. Cold drinks, and leftovers weaken your Agni ( digestive fire), and excess caffeine and alcohol can disturb your nervous system. Stick to lean proteins if you are a meat eater. Ayurvedic herbs and spices to support digestion, boost immunity, and ease your body into Vata season: fresh or dried ginger1 helps to prevent bloating; a pinch of nutmeg at night in warm nut milk or tea can calm the mind; cloves- stimulate digestion and support immunity; cinnamon - balances blood sugar and aids digestion,; Ashwagandha supports energy levels and promotes a sense of calm. Here are a few journaling prompts: What foods, herbs, or self-care practices, bring you a sense of warmth, comfort, and strength? How can you nurture your nervous system and support your digestion through your daily choices? Remember, mindful eating is a powerful tool to manage your wellbeing. We can talk more about that aspect tomorrow. For today, let’s embrace this season’s shift as an opportunity to root down, nourish, and prepare for the cozy months ahead. JOin me for basic yoga this evening from 5-6 pm.

Today we welcome the first day of September! Summer’s winding down, but you might still be feeling the heat- both outside and within. The season shift is subtle but sure; mornings cool off, shadows grow longer, and the air turns crisper. It’s like summer is taking a deep breath before exhaling. After months of energetic outings, indulgent treats, and outdoor adventures, your body might start signaling a need for rest and renewal. You may notice: more bloating, sluggish digestion, dry skin, brittle nails, restless nights, scattered focus, feeling ungrounded and anxious, increased inflammation, and irritability. From an Ayurvedic perspective, this is a classic Vatta - Pitta transition - summer’s internal heat blending with the dry, light qualities of early autumn. This combo can leave us feeling scattered, spacey, and a bit off balance- like leaves caught in the wind. September is the perfect time to slow down, nourish your body, and prepare for the colder months ahead. Now is the moment to ground your energy to stay balanced throughout fall. Transitions are easier when you’re rooted. Reestablished routines that have been tossed aside over the summer. Even just a few consistent anchors- such as eating meals at regular times, going to bed a little earlier, and opting for warm foods and drinks instead of cold - can make a huge difference. These simple rhythms help calm the nervous system and support digestion, so your body feels steady as the world swirls with change all around you. Let’s embrace this season’s shift as an opportunity to root down, nourish, and prepare for the cozy months ahead. Journaling prompts: What practices or habits help you to feel more grounded? Are there routines or habits from summer that you need to release or adjust as you move into fall ? What signs are you noticing in your body and mind that indicate you need more grounding and nourishment ? What intentions do you want to set for this season to help you stay balanced and connected to your inner strength ? Tomorrow we will talk about how to support your digestive system. Join me for Pilates this evening from 5-6pm.
