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 🌹

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. ❤️

When the world is shaky, it’s even more important to live our yoga off the mat

Just as in practice we expand and fold, life moves through seasons of light and shadow.

Challenging times are a teacher—asking us to surrender, soften, and grow deeper roots

Yoga isn’t about escaping hard times. It’s about remembering that even here—especially here—we can return to presence, compassion, and connection.

I have a very short teaching schedule this week because I’m heading to England to co-lead a yoga retreat!! 🥹🤗

Connect to heart-centered community
Meditate, journal, and honor the wisdom of the moon

If we are going to live in our minds, we may as well make it a beautiful space to live in

Yoga isn’t just about stretching your body — it’s about creating a gentle, peaceful home inside your mind.
Through breath, movement, and presence, we can:
Release the clutter of old thoughts
Invite in compassion and gratitude
Build a sanctuary of stillness

Your inner world shapes how you move through your outer one.
give yourself the gift of clearing space, planting joy, and tending to your thoughts like a cherished garden.

Step on your mat, take a deep breath, and start designing the most beautiful space you’ve ever lived in — your mind.

This week in class we are receiving inspiration from Gene key 59
Shadow: dishonesty
Gift: intimacy
Siddhi transparency

On the mat, we meet ourselves without pretense.

In Gene Key 59, we learn that when we hide parts of ourselves—out of fear, shame, or survival—we create invisible walls. These walls don’t just separate us from others. They separate us from our own truth.

Yoga invites us to soften these walls.
With each breath, each movement, we practice honesty in sensation, presence in emotion, and truth in stillness.
This is the path of intimacy—not just with others, but first and foremost with ourselves.

When we embrace what’s real in us—messy, tender, radiant—we begin to live with transparency.
Nothing to hide. Nothing to prove.
Only love, in its most unguarded form.

Let your practice be a dissolving.
Let the armor fall.
Let your breath touch every part of you that longs to be seen.

You were never meant to be hidden.

Meet me at this week
Monday: 6:30 pm slow flow at Medina
Tuesday: 9:15 am vinyasa at Richfield
Wednesday: 6:30 pm hot vinyasa Medina

If you smile at strangers,
Brake for animals,
Gently rescue worms from the sidewalk,
Or pick up trash that isn’t yours—
You can stop chasing love.
Because you are love.
