Gentle Reset: Yoga & Mobility for Herniated Disc Healing

This video was born out of one of the most humbling, and ultimately miraculous, chapters of my life.

Last year, I was navigating intense back pain from a herniated disc. There were moments I truly wondered if I would ever move freely again or feel strong and at home in my body. I had to let go of pushing through and learn how to listen, deeply, to my breath, my nervous system, and the quiet wisdom of my body.

This Gentle Reset sequence emerged during that time. What started as subtle, careful movements became the foundation of my healing.

Today, I share this with profound gratitude: I have healed. I am not only pain-free, but stronger than ever, able to move and challenge my body in ways I once feared might be gone forever.

Healing is never linear. There were ups and downs, pauses, and recalibrations. I worked closely with medical professionals and sought support along the way, and that mattered deeply.

Grateful for the science and teachers who guided me, including .stuart_mcgill and his book Back Mechanic, insights from guests on the , and my dear friend and mentor , who generously shares her own recovery resources on YouTube.

✨Honored. Grateful. Excited.✨

I am beyond thrilled to share that I’ll be part of the Prema Yoga Teacher Training Program beginning this February. 🌿

To be included in this incredible faculty and community put together by the amazing is such a gift.

✨ Faith. Focus. Surrender. ✨

This September, I’ve been reflecting on three guiding principles from yoga and Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist:

🌿 Śraddhā (faith): trusting your path has meaning.
🌿 Dhāraṇā (concentration): focusing your energy where it matters most.
🌿 Īśvarapraṇidhāna (surrender): handing it all over to something greater — God, nature, humanity, or the universe.

I felt these truths deeply on an amazing and beautiful recent journey to Mallorca where I taught and shared yoga, breathing, life guidance, support and more at a family friend’s wedding. I also had the chance to live life in full color flowing on a paddleboard and swimming and boating into coves, journaling under the Mediterranean sky, explore the breathtaking island looking for the perfect place for a retreat (found it!), and even sharing dinner with an amazing Olympic bobsledder who reminded me of the resilience we all carry (and invited me to see her compete one day : ).

What struck me most? That surrender is not just letting go… it’s also opening up our channels of energy to let in. Opening to connection, grace, and the signs of the universe guiding us forward.

💫 Coelho calls them omens.
The question is: are we listening?

VULNERABILITY ALERT: I arrived at my Portugal retreat with tremendous pain radiating down my back and leg, unsure if I’d even be able to teach the way I normally do.

And yet… it became one of the most healing, transformational weeks of my life.

Not because I “powered through,” but because I surrendered to what was. I slowed down. I softened. I opened. I trusted.

And what I found underneath the pain…

was joy, delight, and the hope of a new chapter unfolding.

The injury that once felt like a setback became a sacred teacher that showed me how to meet myself and my students in a new way.

More honest. More attuned. More human.

I taught from a quieter, more grounded place — and what unfolded was powerful beyond words.

We cried. We danced. We moved with strength and with softness.
We celebrated life and healed wounds together.

One of my students wrote:

“Ruah creates more than just a yoga retreat — she holds space for true transformation, deep connection, and meaningful self-discovery.”

Honestly, these words humble me. Yet, I felt this shift from being in the experience with everyone too.

A full-body, full-heart reset.

🕊️ And now… I invite you with an open heart to join me for the next one.
