Ocean Yoga & Wellness Somatic Yoga + Mindful Movement for Nervous System Regulation
Helping you reset, breathe, and come home to your body. Jody was no different.
(1)

Often people come to Yoga searching for something. After 15 years of daily mindfulness meditation practice, endless retreats, and time at a Buddhist Monastery – he still felt like something was missing. He found it on the mat at his first Yoga class: the body, breath, and mind working together through movement brought the sense of ease he was looking for. Jody offers an authentic, mindful, down to earth approach to teaching. Without losing the integrity of the Yoga tradition, he brings insights from his Buddhist practices into class and focuses on mindful movement, linked with the breath to enhance the meditative quality of Yoga. What to expect: Jody teaches people not poses,” we don’t force our body to get into the pose, but we use the pose to get into our body”. The class focus is on functional movement, balancing the nervous system and calming the mind. Leave class feeling grounded, balanced and rejuvenated.

Men's Mental Health Month
Grow the mustache. But grow something deeper, too.

Men’s Mental Health Month isn’t just about awareness, it’s about action.
Because awareness without change is just another trend.

So here’s what really matters:
Check in like you mean it.
Drop the competition.
Move your body.
Feel your feelings.
Talk to your brothers.
Ask for help.
And for the love of all that’s holy, stop doing it alone.

We don’t need more perfect men.
We need present men.
Men who can hold space for their own pain, and someone else’s too.

Grow courage.
Grow softness.
Grow presence.

Awareness is the start.
Connection is the cure.

📍 New Blog Drop: The Truth About Anxiety: What Actually Works

Everyone keeps telling you to breathe, calm down, and think positively.

But if that worked, you wouldn't still be anxious, right?

Here's what I've learned after 25 years of practice, study, and lived experience:
🧠 It's not just your thoughts.
💥 It's not just your body.
⚡ It's your nervous system.

And if your nervous system doesn't feel safe, no amount of mindset work will fix it.
In this new post, I break down:
✔️ Why avoiding anxiety actually makes it worse
✔️ How to retrain your brain to stop the panic spiral
✔️ The #1 shift that helped me break free from chronic stress
✔️ A nervous system technique that actually works (and takes just 10 minutes)

📖 Read it now in my website link in my profile, or here:

💾 Or save this post for when you're ready to stop running and start resetting.

Nourish 2025: What a Day.

Still buzzing from Saturday.

What an incredible, heart-opening day of connection, laughter, learning, and pure presence.

To everyone who showed up for themselves, who breathed deeply, stretched with intention, and allowed themselves to feel fully—thank you.

You made this day unforgettable.
And to my amazing co-teachers: you are the real deal. Every session, every moment was shared with authenticity, wisdom, and heart.

I couldn't have asked for a better team to hold this space with.

This was the first time, co-creators, Lori and I, of OceanFire Designs had a shop set up and watching people connect with the jewelry was amazing.

Hearing the stories behind what they chose, seeing each piece find the person it was meant for was powerful.

The energy in that room reminded me exactly why I do this work.

When we come together with the intention to stress less and live more, something shifts.

Healing happens.
Community happens.

Here's to everyone who came, supported, and shared their energy with us.
Much love and peace to you.

Here's to the next one. 💛

Our Story

My mantra is: Yoga is Now. The openness, discipline and enthusiasm we bring to our practice, cultivates the patience, awareness and wisdom to bring contentment into our lives, both on and off the mat. I am inspired to share my yoga and meditation practice with the rebels, the heartbroken, the addicted, the bored, the lost and lonely, anyone looking to bring more contentment onto their lives I, too, experience all these things myself. With gentleness and bravery, let us explore the vast ocean of stillness and peace that lies beneath the ebb and flow of our turbulent minds. Yoga is Now.
