I'm so excited to announce this event, carefully curated to provide you with a slower kind of day.

A half day retreat, set up intentionally, so you can actually step out of your usual pace for a bit.

We will come together at the stunning Organic Flower Farm in Langley, BC, as the flower fields are starting to fill out with dahlias (one of my favourites) and everything feels a little more alive. It’s the kind of setting that naturally slows you down without needing to try.

We’ll begin with a full 90-minute yoga practice. Steady, grounding, and designed to bring you back into your body, not push you past your edge.

Then we will head into the flower fields. You’ll have time to walk, pick your own flowers, and create a bouquet to take home. No structure, no pressure. Just space to move at your own pace and stay in that quieter, more present state.

We will come together to sit down for a simple, vegetarian lunch and take in the beauty of the farm. You can connect with others, or use it as a time of solace, whatever serves you best in the moment.

We’ll close with a short guided meditation to bring everything together before you head back into your day.

This experience is simple on purpose.

Most of us don’t need more to do.
We need space to slow down, reset, and reconnect.

I intentionally keep my yoga teacher training programs small.

Because this is the kind of experience I want to create for you.

This cohort is on the smaller side.

And honestly… there’s a lot of beauty in that.

It means more time.
More space for questions.
More actual conversation instead of just information being delivered.

More room to understand what you’re learning,
not just move through it.

When I took my training, there were 30+ people in the room.

And while there was value in that…
it’s a very different experience.

It’s easy to stay quiet.
Easy to get lost.
Easy to leave with unanswered questions.

That’s not how I teach.

I want you to be seen.
I want you to ask questions.
I want you to actually understand what you’re doing and why.

Applications are now closed.

But if this has been sitting in the back of your mind…
if you’ve been thinking about it, circling it, waiting for the “right” time,

send me a DM, I printed an extra manual just for you.

Let’s not confuse depth with practice.

Going further into a pose
doesn’t automatically mean you’re practicing “better.”

It can.
But not always.

Because you can go deeper
and be completely disconnected from what you’re doing.

And you can also stay in a smaller, simpler version
and be fully present, aware, and intentional.

Depth is one option.
It’s not the goal.

The practice is in how you’re showing up inside of it,
how you’re breathing,
what you’re noticing,
whether you’re actually working with your body
or just trying to get somewhere.

04/15/2026

I don’t know about you…
but I’ve never felt 100% ready....for most things.

There’s always something.

Timing isn’t perfect.
Life feels full.
There’s a bit of doubt in the background.

“Am I ready for this?”
“Is this the right time?”
“Maybe I should wait…”

And you can keep waiting.

But in my experience, that feeling of being fully ready doesn’t actually arrive.

What does happen is a shift.

Where you realize you’ve been thinking about something for a while.
Circling it.
Coming back to it.

And at some point, it stops being about readiness,
and becomes about whether you’re willing to begin.

Not perfectly.
Not with everything figured out.

Just… starting.

That’s how most people step into something different.

Not because they feel completely ready,
but because they don’t want to keep putting it off.

Today is the final day to register for either Foundations of Practice of the full Yoga Teacher Training program, both begin May 1st In person in Maple Ridge

No pressure, just reality of the timing and manuals to be printed.

If this has been sitting in the back of your mind…
this is your chance to stop circling it
and actually take a step forward.

Have you been waiting to feel ready before you start?

“I didn’t expect this to change me.”

This was something a recent graduate shared with me after completing the training, and it stayed with me.

Because it’s something I hear, in different ways, almost every time.

People often come into a yoga teacher training thinking they’re there to learn poses, sequencing, or how to teach a class.

And yes, we do all of that.

But somewhere along the way, something else begins to unfold.

There’s a shift from learning about yoga…
to experiencing what it actually means to live it.

Students start noticing themselves more.

Their thoughts.
Their reactions.
The ways they show up, both on and off the mat.

They begin to recognize patterns that were always there, but maybe never fully seen.

And in that awareness, something opens.

There’s more space.
More honesty.
More permission to show up as they are, without needing to perform, fix, or get it right.

That’s often where the real confidence comes from.

Not from knowing all the cues or having the “perfect” class…
but from feeling grounded in who you are and how you connect with others.

That’s what this student was speaking to.

The ability to show up fully as themselves.
The realization that their openness could actually reach people.
The kind of confidence they didn’t know they had.

That’s the kind of experience I aim to create inside this training.

Yes, we study the foundations of yoga, movement, breath, philosophy, meditation and so much more....

But just as importantly, we create space.

For reflection.
For conversation.
For integration.

For you to understand yourself more clearly…
and decide how you want to move forward from there.

For some, that begins with deepening their personal practice.

For others, it becomes a path into teaching.

Both are welcome.

If this resonates, there are a couple of ways to step in.

You can begin with Foundations of Practice, a space to explore the foundations of yoga and build a deeper understanding of the practice.

Or, if you’re feeling ready for a more immersive experience, the full 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training begins this fall.

Registration closes April 15th, both begin May 1st in person in Maple Ridge.

If you’re feeling that quiet pull…
you don’t have to ignore it.

You’ve probably experienced yoga philosophy…
you just didn’t know that’s what it was.

Most people think of philosophy as something you study.
Something abstract.
Something separate from the physical practice.

But a lot of it shows up in much quieter ways.

Like the moment you decide to back off instead of push.
When you notice something doesn’t feel right and actually listen.
When you stop trying to get the “perfect” shape
and start paying attention to what your body is telling you.

Yoga isn’t just what your body is doing in a pose,
it’s how you relate to yourself while you’re in it.

And over time, that starts to shift things outside of the practice too.

How you respond instead of react.
How you make decisions.
How you speak to yourself.

You don’t need to know the names of the concepts
to start experiencing them.

But when you do start to understand where they come from,
it gives depth to something you’ve already been feeling.

And it changes how you practice completely.

Have you noticed yourself responding differently,
not just in your practice, but in your life?

04/08/2026

If you’ve been thinking about learning more about yoga…
but keep stopping yourself..... it’s probably not random.

Most people don’t lack interest.
They lack clarity around what they’re actually stepping into.

The moment “teacher training” comes up,
it starts to feel like something bigger than what you’re looking for.

Like you have to:
teach
perform
or be ready in a way you don’t feel yet

So you pause. Even though the curiosity is still there.

Even though you’ve thought about it more than once.
Looked into it.
Maybe even almost applied.

And for a while, it’s easy to stay where it’s familiar.

To keep going to class.
To keep following along.
To keep feeling like there’s more but not fully accessing it.

But eventually, that starts to feel limiting.

Because your practice can only go so far
without understanding what you’re actually doing.

And when that shift happens,
that’s usually when people stop putting it off.

Not because you suddenly feel ready.

But because you’re ready to understand more.

This isn’t just about becoming a teacher.

It’s about:
understanding your body
moving with more control
working with your breath
and actually knowing what you’re doing when you practice

And that changes everything.

If this has been sitting in the back of your mind,
that matters.

You have one week left to register to join me for the Foundations of Practice or the full 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training Program. Both are in person, and start May 1st in Maple Ridge.

This isn't about rushing into a decision, but a gentle invitation as this is usually the moment where you either move forward or keep putting it off.

Have you been holding yourself back from going deeper in your practice?

04/07/2026

Are you ready to dive deeper into your yoga practice?

My only cohort for 2026 starts May 1st in Maple Ridge , and the last day to apply is April 15th.
