Today at 11:08am PT, a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs in Pisces. This is a powerful moment that can open the way for radical transformation !

Pisces energy softens the critical mind and urges us to become more sensitive and receptive to our intuitive and psychic way of knowing. Have you been having unusually vibrant or intense dreams? Write them down and reflect on the symbolism that stands out most. There maybe a potent message for you…

For the next two weeks (ending on the Solar Eclipse on Sept. 21st) we are moving through a cosmic event known as an eclipse portal, a powerful time for transformation. Eclipses accelerate change, bring hidden truths to light, and often close one chapter so another can begin.

The eclipse portal time asks you to slow down, listen to your intuition, release what no longer serves you, and clarify your path moving forward.

Now more than ever is a great time to practice yoga, meditation, self-reflection, and ritual. Please join me at one of my upcoming classes or special events so we can practice deeply and to be with community during this potent month of September. ✨ All sign up links below ⬇️

Congratulations to this amazing group of humans who just graduated from our 200 Hour Teacher Training at the .berkeley!!! You are all so wonderful and have such big hearts. Thank you for saying YES to the journey and signing up for this training.

When I set out to create this program, my intention was to create something that would support not only me but our studio and our community. I wanted to give students a chance to grow and become teachers, and to give seasoned teachers the opportunity to become trainers and further their professional and personal growth, too.

Creating, writing and directing this program has been a monumental effort of love many years in the making… it was 2019 when I first proposed doing it to the studio owner and then the pandemic hit in 2020 and everything paused and then I had 2 babies!

My second daughter Ava Luna was born right as this program was launching! There was many times I thought “there’s no way I can do this.” But luckily I had the BEST team on my side who helped me carry it to fruition.

Thank you Maria Christina @2.cubesof.sugar and Lucid for stepping up and stepping in when I had to step back to care for my children and let go and let go and let go… thanks to all our guest and supporting teachers .coach

And most of all thank you to our trainees! Thank you for trusting us to hold this container and bring you these teachings. Thank you for showing up even when it was super challenging. Thanks for supporting each other so sweetly, too.

I’m still processing what this all means for me personally. It’s truly a milestone moment. All I know is my heart is full.

Namaste
💚✨
