The holiday season has arrived again—and with it, the familiar presence of grief that lingers in its quiet, faithful way.
Once grief enters your life, I don’t think it ever fully leaves. It moves in cycles, circling back as we continue walking forward, reminding us of all the places love once lived.

Grief whispers to me that it’s okay to feel it.
And what a beautiful, human thing it is to have loved so deeply and lived so fully that grief has sat with me many times.

This time of year, I find myself grieving…
• Not having more of my family around
• No longer being a child at Christmas—a reminder of how far away those tender years are
• Not having little ones to see the holidays through anymore—a reminder of how quickly time moves
• Missing my dad
• Missing my fur babies who were truly part of my heart

So I breathe into it all. I let myself feel it fully.
And somehow, grief always cracks me open to more—
More love.
More peace.
More magic.
More meaning.

Something that can’t be explained, only felt.
A quiet pulse of life.
A reminder that this life, even with its ache, is drenched in love.

Tonight we gathered under the Ta**us full moon for the first time at the Richfield studio.

Together we shared and witnessed the closing chapters in each other’s lives as we step into shadow season and begin to round the corner to the end of 2025.

We enjoyed a seed planting meditation
Restorative yoga
Reflection in community

The flower doesn’t rush to bloom; it unfolds in its own divine rhythm.
Tonight, may you remember that your becoming is effortless — that you are the magic, embodied.
The more you rest in who you already are, the more life blooms through you.”

Collective affirmation: “I am grounded. I am worthy. I am whole.”

See you December 6th for our full moon circle under the sign of Gemini at Medina location

Happy November!
I am always filled with so much gratitude this month.
Today marks 3 years in our Medina location. A move that was truly only made possible by the incredible community here
And it also marks 6 months at our new Richfield location.

What began as a dream has blossomed into a community filled with warmth, healing, and heart. Every breath, every class, every shared smile has helped shape Half Moon Yoga into the sacred space it is today.

The community here feels like my family and I am honored to share this yoga practice with you.

I am beyond grateful for the love and energy you bring into the studio each time you roll out your mat. Your presence has made this journey possible.

Check out my special offerings and class schedule this month . I’d love to practice with you ❤️

Together, we’ll close out this year rooted in thankfulness and open hearts.

With deep gratitude,
Lauren

Happy Halloween!
May we remember Magic doesn’t wait for a certain day

I love creating our circles for the Full Moon.
To look up the sign the moon will be in to then feel into the energetics of what this moon is bringing- I then create our rituals.

Every moon circle has some form of movement, meditation, journaling and of course time to share.
Every detail, including the set up of the altar is all in alignment with the energy of the moon.

When we come together In circle, we allow ourself to be witnessed as we also learn how to hold space for one another.

And collectively, we learn that we rise together.

Our next full moon circle will be Friday November 7 from 6-7:15 pm and I’m bringing this one to the Richfield studio!

This full moon is in the sign of Ta**us and we will be working with the energetics rooted In grounding, stability and abundance!

Every circle is donation based

Full moon circle in Aries

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac—the spark, the beginning, the warrior. This is the energy of initiation, of saying yes to life, of stepping boldly into who we are.

This moon invites us to remember the fire within us, the power that burns in our belly and heart, the flame that cannot be dimmed. Tonight, we call upon that fire to rise.

Aries is ruled by Mars, the planet of action, desire, and raw life force. It teaches us to lead, to act, to be courageous enough to show up fully as ourselves. Aries does not wait for permission—it moves, it dares, it begins.

But fire has many faces: it can be the warm flame of courage, the spark of creativity, or the wildfire of passion. Tonight, under this full moon, we get to ask:
Where am I ready to claim my power? What fire within me is ready to be expressed?

The Aries Full Moon reminds us: you are allowed to take up space. You are allowed to burn brightly. You are allowed to be powerful.

Tonight, we have danced with fire, honored our courage, and remembered the strength that lives within us. As you walk back into your life, may you carry this flame in your heart. Let it guide you with boldness, passion, and love.

You are the spark. You are the flame. You are the fire. And the world needs your light.

It may sound silly, but I’ve always desired to fully express myself through clothing—only to take it all off before leaving the house because I didn’t want to seem like “too much.”

The truth is, if you know me, you know I’m already loud, bold, and fearless in the way I show up. So why would expression through clothing feel so different?

Because of that little voice that whispers, “Who do you think you are?”
And for too long, I’ve listened.

But something shifted for me during my recent pilgrimage to Avalon.
I remembered who I am.

Divine.
Feminine.
Holy.
Whole.
Wild.
Free.
Soft.
Loving.
Beautiful.

I am here to live in my fullest expression.
My body, my clothing, my essence—a living tapestry of truth.

So if you’ve been waiting for a permission slip, let this be it.
Take up space. Embody the fullness of who you are.
You are worthy of being seen 🌹

P.s. I am so excited to be Back teaching this week

The feminine urge to find beauty, grace and magic in every moment 🌹

09/25/2025

How to put into words the experience of walking a sacred, ancient land that my soul deeply remembers?

Witnessing the most beautiful essence of the Divine Feminine as I sat at the Chalice Well
Experiencing our dragon hearts and the magic of life at the top of the Tor
Walking in remembrance of all that is holy at Saint Magdalenes chapel
Receiving blessings as a Magdalene sister on the street by a beautiful earth angel
Even experiencing the pain of a past life of persecution for my magic at the White Springs

My heart opened as a beautiful rose as Mother Mary’s presence was undoubtedly felt

To sing and dance and cry and laugh with earth angels who were called on this pilgrimage

It’s all so hard to put into words but as my dear friend and co-leader of our retreat expressed, maybe it’s not through words but through our presence, devotion and activism.

Every part of me feels awakened as I remember the lands I have walked

We come to holy ground that remembers us.
We kneel where the well keeps secrets and stand where the Tor remembers stars.
We honor Magdalene’s hush and the springs that carried both blessing and pain.
May Mother Mary’s rose open in our chests. May our dragon-hearts remember how to guard and how to play.
We sing. We dance. We hold one another. May this remembering be our prayer and our work.

Happy Equinox from Avalon
May we find balance within body, mind, and heart.
May we release polarity, judgment, and hate.
And may we return to the harmony of peace and love — within ourselves, with one another, and with the Earth.

Equinox blessings to you all. ❤️
