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 moments 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

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.

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.

Happy Family Day!

Today is a perfect day to honour family in whichever form it takes:

The ones we're born into.
The ones who share our last name.
The ones we choose along the way.
The ones who share a common purpose, healing or collective breath.
Even the furry or hairless companions that fill our spaces with unconditional love.

Athough so different, ALL these families are worthy of celebrating.

At Lighthouse Yoga, I see family in the way you greet each other with softness, roll out your mats with open hearts, breathe together through the messy & magical, in the way you hold space for one another, in the way we show up each week: imperfect, human, together. This yoga community is a beautiful reminder that family isn’t defined by matching last names but by support, connection & belonging. You make this space either on Zoom or in person feel like home. You're not just students to me, you're the heart of this family.

A huge shout out to my family unit, the ones who support me endlessly, proof read my reflections, practice my yoga flows, offer feedback, let me take over our living spaces & do so much behind the scenes so I can follow my heart & teach yoga.

From my family to yours, Happy Family Day & however you choose to celebrate may it be filled with connection, warmth & those who feel like home.

So much love & gratitude for you all xo

Today i'm remembering that love isn’t only something we give or receive from others. It’s also the quiet, steady way we show up for ourselves especially on our messiest, heaviest days.

This love may resemble boundaries, grace, choosing rest or perhaps speaking a little kinder to yourself.

Today, whether you’re partnered, single, or somewhere beautifully in between, I hope you offer yourself a moment of tenderness. A hand to your heart. A breath that says, I’m here. I matter. I’m learning to love myself, too.

Happy Valentine’s Day, friends. May you feel loved from the inside out. ❤️

During yesterday's classes themed around the heart chakra, I revisited a technique called EFT or tapping.

If you're feeling overwhelm, stuck or tense, EFT is a gentle technique that can help settle your system.

EFT combines light tapping on acupressure points while repeating gentle words. People seem to like it as it supports nervous system regulation, helps shift limiting beliefs & creates emotional spaciousness.

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, I themed this offering around self-love as turning love inward can be the most challenging.

It only takes a few minutes of gentle tapping (6-8 taps per point with 2 fingers) It's more important to stay connected to the feeling so I simply take slow, mindful breaths instead of counting.

If you have a couple of minutes, I invite you to try it with me.

Begin by sensing the physical support beneath you & let yourself be held. Take a few breaths to bring yourself into the moment of now. And take a moment to shift awareness to the heart space.

EFT Practice:

💚 Side of hand - tap here (karate chop) & say: Even though I sometimes forget my own worth, I'm learning to love myself.

Tap each point using 2 fingers & repeat:

💚 Between Eyebrows - I soften the space around my heart.

💚 Outside Eye - I release what no longer needs to be held.

💚 Under Eye - My heart is allowed to rest.

💚 Under Nose - I am safe to feel.

💚 Under Chin - I am safe to receive.

💚 Collarbone - I let love flow through me.

💚 Underarm - I release old stories with kindness.

💚 Top of head - I return to my natural state of openness & ease.

Repeat 3x in total.

Pause for a moment to integrate & notice how you feel. Perhaps, say some sweet words to yourself.

Take the love you cultivated right here with you into your weekend. Everyday is love day! Love is all that matters & it starts by loving yourself xo
