Lighthouse Loft

Lighthouse Loft is a zen oasis where you are encouraged to let your true, authentic self shine. I am also offering distance reiki healing.

I’ve always been described as a free spirit, tree hugger, hippie kinda person & I love it! My soul finds solace near water or in the forest & my inner child is totally blissed out with the moon, shells, nature’s heart shaped gifts & feathers to name a few. For me, it’s the simple things that soothe my soul & bring me joy - big belly laughs, my fur babies, morning coffee, sunrises, sunsets or momen

ts spent with loved ones. I love oils, crystals, cards, journals, smudging, meditation & mantras & like to sprinkle these throughout my practice. I am a RYT 500 having completed both my 200 hr YTT & trauma sensitive training in 2015 & my 300 ytt in November 2020. Since that time, I’ve evolved & my passion lies with restorative, yin & speciality candlelight practices. I am also a reiki practioner & completed my level 2 course in December 2020. I feel the union of my social work background, my reiki training as well as my yoga skill set is guiding me towards a healing path nourishing the body as well as the mind, heart & soul. Due to the pandemic, I am offering online classes (live & on demand) called Zen on Zoom. You can choose from slow flow combining strength with ease, yin & restorative yoga. I am also running private monthly groups via facebook that combine meditation, journaling, yoga (nidra, restorative, yin, flow), breath work & other theme related activities. Who knows that the universe has in store for me but I am open to receive & grow with wonder & passion while soaring with a free spirit xoxo

"You are absorbing more in a single day than your grandparents processed in a month" ~ Vex King.

I love finding a quote that hits me right in the feels & this one astonished me.

We absorb so much more not because we're doing anything wrong but because we now live in a culture of constant input where everything is louder, brighter & faster. Our days are filled with emails, notifications, headlines, etc & all this noise enters the body & subsequently affects our nervous system.

Society has normalized overconsumption, for example we now listen to podcasts while walking or settling into bed, we watch Netflix while eating or we doom scroll while sitting on the toilet.

Every notification, text or demand adds a drop to our bucket until we become so saturated with input that we become reactive, triggered, wired or exhausted. In my case, I become bitchy!

Our nervous system uses sensation to speak to us rather than logic so it can be easy to miss when our buckets are too full. For me, it presents as shallow breathing, tight jaw or gluts or dizziness.

During last night's practice, I offered grounding poses combined with somatics to invite the nervous system to settle & to allow the excess to drain away.

It was a huge request but I encouraged each person to turn off their phone & to remove their Apple Watches so they could unplug. The class was encouraged to explore the use of eye coverings, sand bags, weighted blankets & big sighs of release to see if those practices were welcome in their bodies. I offered moments of quiet too.

My intention was to be on Airplane Mode. This weekend, I encourage you to try it. By doing so, we can create space that we don't need to rush to fill. In fact, there's no rushing needed at all. The silence, the stillness, the space it's there where we can dump our buckets. And right there is where you will find yourself again; a calmer, connected, regulated, best version of yourself. Disconnect to reconnect, my friends xo

P.S. I'll be away next week so there are no classes on Tues or Thur. Please reach out if you need a recording to support your practice while I'm gone.

A little visual to capture last night's meditation in Zen Blend.

During my last few days away, I was starting to feel really antsy. Although it was spring, I was still feeling somewhat sluggish, irritable & unsettled. I had not yet felt that typical spring in my step.

While it was wonderful to return home to my house, cats & comforting food, the feeling persisted.

The timing of my class with "Seasons with Tina" was serendipitous. It brought me comfort, settled my unsteadiness & lightened my overall mood. It truly helped bring me back home to myself.

I was curious if I was the only one who felt this way so I asked my yoga peeps to disclose a word to describe their feelings. Except for 3 who felt grounded, grateful & inspired, the rest expressed feelings of defeat, anxiety, stress, overwhelm & nervousness.

Social media with all its "inspirational" posts promoting spring's transformational energy of growth, blooming, renewal etc can add an extra layer of funk if we are not aligned.

In my course, Tina reminded us that we are still in mid-Kapha season; defined by elements of earth & water. Sluggishness, heaviness & slowness are qualities that are common right now! I knew this but like anything, I needed to hear it again, to be & feel validated.

Her "senses" meditation brought me so much comfort that I shared it with my class. So much gratitude for this human!

💐 The tulips served as a reminder of spring.
☕️ A cup of tea, sipped slowly & mindfully awakened my sense of taste. The weight & warmth of the mug was also very grounding.
🦻 The chimes activated my sense of sound. (I love this new hearing aide emoji!!!). I also guided the class to hear sounds outside their space & within their bodies so that all became part of their soundscape; a natural surround sound.
🍊 I sniffed a clementine peel to open my sense of smell. It's amazing how you notice other reactions such as mouth watering.
🕯️ A candle gazing exercise with a soft gaze was connected to breath awareness.
✋ We finished with a guided face massage which honoured our sense of touch. The gentle touching also served to calm the nervous system.

⚓️ The beauty of this meditation is that no matter where we go or what we are doing or what we have - our senses like our breath are always with us. A few moments to open, notice & be with each one can serve as an anchor to steady, to ground, to bring you back to this moment so you can return home to yourself. If you echo how many of us are feeling, I encourage you to take a moment & tune in. No props, no special yoga clothes or studio are needed. Everything you need is within. Welcome back home xoxo

I can only hope that somehow my presence & teachings as a yoga teacher holding space under Lighthouse Loft (& before that Free Spirit) I serve as a source of connection, steadiness, light & safety; a human lighthouse 💖 xo.

On my morning walk, I felt pulled to the ocean to welcome Spring.

Being here in Mexico, it's rather easy to meet the sun & soak up the energy of this new season. If you're in a darker space literally or figuratively, let this be a gentle reminder of your inner light that's always there to guide & support you.

This year, I encourage you to notice how your whole body meets this season of light. Perhaps, you're drawn to look up with a soft gaze, to lean into the support beneath you, to feel the warmth on your skin, to soften those places where you tend to grip, to find spaciousness as you release a long exhale or sense a smile spreading across your face or heart space.

Even though there's more yang energy, there's still no need to rush. Spring is a soft invitation, a gentle beginning. Allow it to unfold organically with openness, curiosity & tenderness as you plant new seeds & nourish yourself along the way.

I'm excited to return to the mat for our regular schedule next week!

Today’s tiny class felt like a soothing balm. Slow movement, mindful breath, supported postures & gentle awareness became signals of safety. In that safety, the psoas could soften, rest & release.

During our final savasana, I was so excited to share a beautiful passage from Jillian Pransky's newest book. About halfway through, our space was disrupted by an outside, loud, repetitive recording selling Mexican goods. Instead of irritation, joy arrived. Instead of vigilance, there was ease.

It is what it is. An awareness. An allowing. Nothing more, nothing less. Just the moment offering itself & us receiving it fully.

Next week, there are no classes. If you'd like a copy of today's class, let me know.

03/10/2026

I'm on holidays for the next 2 weeks but I'll be offering one class this:

🧘🏻‍♀️ Thursday, 9:30-10:30am (ET)🧘🏻‍♀️

This is the only class until I return. Hope to see you there (or I can send a recording too).

I woke to the sounds of women's voices honouring International Women's Day & my thoughts turned to you.

I'd like to take a moment to celebrate each one of you amazing souls who step on your mat or into this space with me. Week after week, you show up bringing courage, resiliency, wisdom, gentleness, authenticity & so much joy. I see you! Together, we create a powerful community where strength lies not only in the physical body but in the connection we create together.

Sending you a big hug today filled with so much gratitude. Thank you for teaching me as much as I teach you! xo

P.S. Hope to see you in the ONLY class next week on Thursday 9:30-10:30 - a slow, stretchy practice.
