Happy New Year, beautiful souls! I hope you had a relaxing holiday and that you are easing back into routine with as much self-compassion and grace as you can muster.

Let's tap into our breath and move our bodies so we can feel grounded, strong, stable, and ready for whatever comes our way.

Get ready to stretch, build strength, and find flow.

I'll meet you on the mat.

Happy Solstice, beautiful souls!

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BWecbdEA7/

“This is the solstice,
the still point of the sun,
its cusp and midnight,
the year’s threshold and unlocking,
where the past lets go of
and becomes the future;
the place of caught breath,
the door of a vanished house left ajar . . . “

~ Margaret Atwood, “Shapeshifters in Winter” from Eating Fire: Selected Poetry 1965-1995

🖤🌞🖤

Note: Think of Winter Solstice as a period of time.

In 2025, The *longest night* was Saturday, December 20th.

The *shortest day* is today, Sunday, December 21st.

And — with the sunrise on the morning of December 22nd, the daylight will nearly imperceptibly begin to increase.

It is likely that the Winter Solstice observance of our ancient ancestors included the three day time period when the “sun stands still,” which by the Gregorian calendar is December 20th, 21st, and 22nd.

I'm wearing this pendant to this afternoon's 2025 Winter Solstice Gathering because it's the last thing my mom gave me when she was still alive.

I wish she could share in this community, she would have loved you all so much. She was full of fire, but also the most caring person I have ever met. She was willing to go deep, but had the most amazing cackle.

She is with me today and will be dancing with us as we move, breathe, and play.

See you soon, my friends.

Also, this rainbow appeared just as we are heading out the door!

Today, Dec 19, was the last yoga class of 2025, my friends. This year has been crazy busy, but in such a good way. Classes have grown, I've hosted more workshops and the annual MMY retreat, you've volunteered to be part of a photoshoot that allowed me to launch a yoga calendar, together we walked the TC 10K, and so much more.

As the year comes to a close I am reflecting on how lucky I am to have this opportunity to do what I love and to have all of you in my life. This little community is growing into something truly special. I am always blown away by your commitment to yourselves, your practice, and to the love and kindness that you show up with each and every day.

To me, this is yoga. We can't control or change what is happening in the world, but we can commit to personal growth, to love and compassion, and to caring for others in our community.

This past two weeks has been so special. Thank you all so much for your kind and thoughtful gifts and cards, but also for your heartfelt words, hugs, laughter, and true connection. It fills my heart to hear the impact that yoga has had on your life, whether physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually, and I am honored to be able to bring you a moment of peace in your day or your week.

Thank you so much for being here. I look forward to more wonderful yoga adventures in 2026.

Have a relaxing and regenerative holiday season!

Love,
Tamu

🧘Yoga for Equanimity ⚖

The holiday season is upon us, and that has a different meaning for everyone.

For some it's a joyful occasion where we gather with family and friends and have time to relax and enjoy some downtime.

For others, it can mean there is pressure to spend money they don't have, struggling with the loss of a loved one, dealing with toxic family members, or the resurgence of childhood trauma.

I hope that this season brings you joy and relaxation, but if it doesn't and you find yourself stressed, scattered, or doing your best to survive an emotional roller coaster, I invite you to hop on the mat with me and practice this 25-minute Yoga for Equanimity flow.

Take a moment to breathe, settle back into your body, re-establish your boundaries, and rise above the chaos.

I send you so much love, my friend. Be kind to yourself throughout the holidays.

I'll see you on the mat.

Tamu

December Horoscopes - Trust your Body

If you haven't seen them yet, your December horoscopes are up and ready for your perusal.

The main takeaway this month? Learn to listen to and trust your body. Wherever there is discomfort or dis-ease, that's your body trying to tell you that there is trapped energy that needs to be released or healed. The body is in synch with the energetic self, and when give the chance will find its way back to homeostasis.

Here's a little excerpt from All Signs to pique your interest:

"December calls for inner reflection, taking the time to take an honest look at what motivates us, what scares us, and what sets us off balance. Doing so will invite loyalty from others and create space to dream of the future in a whole new way. What do we want to create that benefits everyone around us? What do we want our communities, and society as a whole, to look like? The answers to these questions lie in the deep recess of our hearts, in the deepest place of the “I Am” within our beings. "

I hope you have a relaxing holiday, with no drama and loads of love and the creation of beautiful memories.

Much love,
Tamu

Our December horoscopes ask us to listen to our bodies and plant seeds of growth and change for the New Year. Honest inner reflection brings about loyalty, co-creation, and greater success. Be true…

Lift her Up Sunday💥

I think everyone could use a dose of appreciation once in a while, and I also think that women need to practice lifting each other up in the seemingly normal moments of everyday life.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately, feeling into and sitting with the sister wound within me, allowing her to share from a place of vulnerability.

See, we all talk a great talk, and we are aware that we have wounds around being being seen and appreciated for who we are, but acting from a place of compassion and empathy can be challenging when our egos get triggered. There is always this pressure to be part of the majority and not challenge the general consensus. This can, and does, lead to micro-agressions and alienation.

For me, the true healing and growth take place when I can be strong enough to notice the quiet woman in the room. When I am able to stop my own story, and just listen. When I can be a loving counter to someone's negative self talk. When I can offer space instead of solutions or opinions.

We're all just doing the best we can. Our paths intersect, but each is beautifully unique. Women, as a collective, are learning to take up space, stand in knowing, and realize personal strength. And I think this is beautiful. I think it's necessary. And I think it will change the world.

So I invite you to tag a woman you know in the comments and let them know, not only how much you love them, but how much you see them and appreciate them.

And I send you so much love. No matter what you are doing, how your day is going, or how you're feeling, you're doing an amazing job. I see you, I honour you, and I hope that someone does something special for you today.

Happy Sunday, beautiful souls. See you in class.

♥️ Tamu
