Yoga Class Update: 🧘🏻‍♀️

Hello fellow lovers-of-life! Between bad weather, sick kids- then my catching sick too, and now running a vendor booth this coming weekend, it seems Fri night Barn Yoga hasn’t been a thing since Sept, and won’t be available again until Dec. My apologies for any inconvenience.

As per your requests, I am still looking for a place to teach morning classes, and I do have a good lead for Pleasant View, possibly, and I will keep you posted. Thank each of you so very much for sharing practices with me, and I hope to meet you on the mat again sooner than later!

Much love, Phoenix 💖🫶🏼

So you want to improve your life, maybe your health, your skills- whatever it is- and you don’t know where to start?

Start simple, start with one daily habit.

Maybe….walk outside every day. Early, or late, doesn’t matter. Maybe increase your water intake. Maybe practice yoga :) But just start.

It’s ok if you miss days- KEEP GOING! You got this.

I think one of the worst things we all do, to varying degrees, is gaslight ourselves. We try to take the shortcut, and maybe the shortcut even works, but there’s always a price to pay.

Consistency wins the race, darling.

You are stronger than you think; I promise.

I recently stopped by Game Terminal in Nashville — such an amazing arcade, I can’t recommend it highly enough. Among all the neon lights and noise, I found a blast from my past: Area 51, a first-person shooter I used to play constantly back in San Francisco, in this wild little arcade right by Chinatown.

Back then, I was going through a really hard time, and zoning out on that game gave me a strange kind of peace. Not everyone will get that — the meditative focus that comes when you’re locked in, fully present, moving through the game’s rhythm. It’s not so different from what I find now on the mat.

These days, I mostly play on my Switch or my computer, but standing there again, blaster in hand, I realized that maybe what I love about gaming — that immersion, that quiet centering of mind — offers some the some of same things I love about yoga.

What do you think — can gaming be its own kind of meditation? LMK

I’ll be honest—when I first heard about goat yoga, I wasn’t sure it aligned with what I knew and loved about yoga.

I held some skepticism, wondering how yogic philosophy & practice could coexist with curious, climbing goats. But stepping into the barn, feeling the breeze move through the open windows, and watching people light up with laughter and presence, I began to understand something deeper.

Yoga isn’t always about perfect silence or the most focused downward dog—it’s about connection.

Connection to the breath, the body, the moment, and sometimes even to a playful goat nibbling at your mat.

Sharing yoga philosophy in this joyful, grounded space—where people come to breathe, stretch, laugh, and return to the simplicity of being—is a reminder that practice doesn’t always look like what we expect.

The goats are not a distraction; they’re part of the environment, part of the moment we learn to accept and flow with.

They teach patience, openness, and joy—all things yoga asks of us.

So if you’ve ever doubted the practice, I invite you to come as you are.

Be curious. Let your mat be a place where tradition and play meet under the open rafters of a barn.

This is yoga, too. 🧘🏻

Grateful to my students. One of them took this photo tonight, to my surprise and delight.

Grateful for the opportunity to share a yoga practice with wonderful women.

Grateful for my breath, my body and my life.

Grateful for my beloved family, my dear friends and my many blessings.

Had an absolute blast at

Hey, listen I am old-school, I grew up going to the arcade (Token Joe’s in 1980s warrensburg) and getting to do so again was a much needed blast from the past.

I played hell out of my favorite arcade game of all time, Area 51, I will have to make a reel about it and show y’all.

Anyway, it’s game night for me, Tuesdays I play Dungeons & Dragons online - a lot of fun spent with some very cool and funny people. Our campaign is a riot!
