Root to Rise Yoga

01/14/2026

The georgian new year always starts with such an explosion of energy, wild intentions and often, extremely lofty goals! While setting intentions and dreaming BIG are important aspects of new cycles, I also notice how most folk lack the capacity or tools to sustain these intentions, maintain their energy in a balanced way and most of the goals are so lofty that we end up grasping at air!

I invite you to feel into this moonth's lunar wisdom of the archetype of Capricorn-the Sustainer. This earth artist of devotion, inspires commitment, perseverance, and hard-work.

In the practice of Yoga (life) there are 3 primal forces of Life-which includes Death. These forces are Creation (Brahma), Preservation (Vishnu) and Death/Destruction (Shiva)!

With this New Moon cycle, we connect to the energy of Preservation. What does it take to reach your intention/goals long-term?

How do you move through the entire yearly cycle harnessing these primal forces so you can align with the cosmic principals of manifestation?

Hard Work. Chopping wood and carrying water. Rolling your sleeves up and getting your hands moving! When the excitement of the Beginning has landed and the end is not in sight, what then? Then, we invoke Vishnu! We invoke the strength and determination of Capricorn. Of all the elements, Earth, endures, stubbornly so, and moves with an unparalleled strength and determination.

Please join us as we gather as tribe, as commUNITY, to attune collectively to the lunar wisdom of cycles, seasons, tides and non-linear journeys. The planet has always kept its own Time. The planet moves in cycles, seasons and the rising and falling of energy and matter.

We gather FRIDAY January 16th 6-8pm at Inner Path, in Nevada City, in honor and celebration of this moonth's New Moon in Capricorn!

The sky is darkening and Winter is deepening...
We gather again soon beloved commUNITY for this moonths New Moon Seed Flow.
This moonths New Moon carries the earth elemental energy of the Capricorn archetype. Grounded, stubbornly hard-working and fully committed, Capricorn invites us into "Devotional Commitment" and "Perseverance".

Often, the important and meaningful experiences and things are the ones that take time, devotion and effort to create. This is a potent New Moon for aligning with your purpose, professional passion and seeding your vision for a new career path aligned with your uniqueness.

Join with commUNITY as we attune, move, breathe and focus our attention on this moonths lunar invitations for growth, transformation and evolution.

We begin with an intention seeding cacao circle, sharing collectively our visions for this next cycle and attuning with the specific astrological and lunar forecast for this New Moon cycle. Our movement practice is Earth element focused and inspired by lunar wisdom, with a blend of vinyasa flow and yin styles of yoga. We complete our journey with pranayama, New Moon meditation and integration through an extended savasana with a LIVE sound healing bath.

As we journey deeper into Winter and the heART of dark season, this community attunement with the lunar cycle offers a gathering space to listen, receive, move as medicine, breathe with presence, envision from your heART and join with commUNITY.

ALL bodies welcome. Reach out with questions or curiosities. ALL levels of practice welcome, including those beginning.

🌙We gather at Inner Path, in Nevada City, NEXT FRIDAY,
January 16th 6-8pm 🌙

The night sky is darkening, while the nights grow long. We move towards dark moon-time, with just a short journey until we arrive at New Moon THIS Friday!

In the midst of all the holy-day bustle and all the de-LIGHT-ful social gathering, we are also approaching Winter, approaching the darkest, quietest and most still time for Nature in the Northern Hemisphere.

We are invited to gently walk into the darkness and still quiet of Winter Solstice. The majority of the plant and tree people's have sunk into their roots by now, and are peacefully tending their foundations. There are few dramatic displays of color (though there are some!). There are few buds and blooms opening to the
world.

We are in the season of rest, roots and death.

At a time when many humans are bustling here there and everywhere, loudly proclaiming in defiance to the season around them, YOU are invited to join me and community, in quiet candlelight, to slowly, gently and reverently listen, move, breathe and receive through rest and sound...

This FRIDAY we journey with Sagittarius New Moon along with a special honoring of Winter Solstice.

This New Moon Seed Flow will be especially lunar, and profoundly nurturing. We will gather in the magic of candlelight, to receive lunar-wisdom and practice lunar-inspired movement, activate our inner-heart-flame through breath and meditation and rest deeply in the sonic healing frequencies of an intentional sound bath savasana.

Salutations lovely friends near and far!
Save the date!! Register NOW if you feel the inner resonance of honoring Winter Solstice with intention, commUNITY, and practice!
THIS New Moon Seed Flow will be extraordinarily special as it arrives right before Winter Solstice. For the yogi's Winter Solstice is a profound HolyDay. This time marks the (very) slow return of Light and welcomes the birthing of the Sun King in the Year Wheel tradition.
Imagine for our ancestors, the profundity of the Sun returning in ever increasing power, signifying the promise of new life, growth of plant life and food, the return of warmth (during the darkest, coldest time ) and the Hope that is carried with all these things!
And though it is actually the beginning of Winter, it is a celebration of Light and the promise the Sun and Earth offer us each cycle, each turning of the year-wheel...imagine for just a moment-No Light, No Sun, No warmth....! The Winter Solstice marks the very gradual and sllllllooooooooowwwww birth of the Sun (king) whom rises fully (again) during Spring Equinox. It marks an earthly and celestial promise that Light will return no matter how dark, how cold, how alone we may be (feel)...
Light all-ways returns and grows through the Darkness.
This is a powerful and auspicious New Moon paring with the Winter Solstice, and a commUNITY healing and attunement that will transform and inspire all who come and help set the stage for the Winter season.

Space is limited dear ones, and this one is likely to draw friends from near and far!

Please join us Friday December 19th 6-8:30pm Inner Path in Nevada City!

OH! Annnnnnd, I am joined in this auspicious gathering by a very dear friend and sound alchemist, Sean T Fox. The one and only magical musical muse will be collaborating with me in curating a deeply magical, transformative and healing space for all who choose to join us!!

I'll be offering a special Solstice Cacao, Candlelight Lunar-Inspired Elemental Vinyasa Flow, Moon Meditation, Pranayama and Mr.Fox will guide us through a deeply restorative and healing sound bath during an extended savasana.
Gather round, for the nights are long and the air is cold but magic is afoot! 🌙✨💛

Greetings commUNITY,
we are 1 week out from the re-birth of the New Moon Seed Flow event, and it couldn't have landed on a more appropriate New Moon!

We begin in the depths of the element of Water, diving into the dark wisdom of the sign of Scorpio.
Yes, many of us have been "stung" by Scorpionic energy, and this sign is notorious for its dark, sharp and often powerful emotional energy.

What you may not know about the sign of Scorpio, is that it is connected to a trifecta of animal totems-the only sign that has 3 totems. These totems include the scorpion, eagle and phoenix, corresponding to the three stages of potential evolution this sign invites us into, including Transformation, Rebirth, Spiritual Evolution.

This moonth's lunation cycle invites:
Healing through surrender.
Power through release.
Rebirth through truth.

Are you feeling the call to dive into the depths of the water's within, the subconscious-mind, shadow-parts and the emotional body in service to healing, greater personal power and ultimately rebirth?

Join me at Inner Path, Friday November 21, 6-8pm as we re-birth the New Moon Seed Flow, attuning with this Scorpio New Moon!
✨🦂🌙🦅✨❤️‍🔥

Greetings community!

We are just moving from the epically Full Ta**us Moon, which was yesterday, towards the dark moon. This means in just two weeks we will meet New Moon in Scorpio!
The lunar energy begins to wane, and the invitations for growth, transformation and healing will take a rather opposite feel, as we move from earthy, matter maker, beauty-loving Ta**us into watery, power-seeking, deep-diving Scorpio!
Energy and attention moves inward, and the journey into the dark season continues to deepen.
We gather in just two weeks to attune, align and be together for the reincarnation of the New Moon Seed Flow offering!

🌙✨Please join me Friday November 21st, 6-8pm at Inner Path in Nevada City, for an evening of community attunement, movement and healing. Details below. 🌙✨

After a potent time of rest and renewal over the Summer season, I am deLIGHTed to announce the re-emergence and re-birth of my New Moon Seed Flow community offering!

Seasonally, we are entering into the dark time, inward and downward directed energy and attention, the seasons' of change and rest, which is not generally a "re-birthing" time.
And, not much in the world these days makes
(complete) sense 🙃....

As I contemplated this offering, I realized that this re-emergence is aligned beautifully with the energy of darkness, inward reflection and attunement. New Moon is known as the "dark moon", and is a potent time for drawing attention inward, reflecting and tending the "soil" in preparation for "seed planting", which is where the offerings namesake comes from.
It feels powerfully aligned to have this offering emerge as we enter into the season of darkness and at a time in our world where it can feel quite "dark". The darkness however, is the fertile void space from which all light and all life emerge...in time.
But we must spend time in the darkness (think womb space) before we can emerge fully and honestly into the light!
We need commUNITY NOW, especially as we journey into even more darkness and tend a grieving world.

If you know, you know!! SOUL please share with others in your community and afar who desire to attune, imbibe plants, move, breathe, heal and transform together!

This event is an offering to support us in aligning with each lunation's unique invitations for growth, transformation and healing, through plant peoples (including herbal tea or cacao), astrological lunar attunement, elemental lunar-inspired vinyasa flow, pranayama, moon mediation and extended savasana with live sound healing frequencies to support you in integrating and receiving your experience on a cellular level.

ALL BODIES, ALL ABILITIES WELCOME.

I am joined for our initial "birthing" by the magical musical muse, Hanna Ziesel, "Minister of Walking Prayer".
Please SHARE! Please connect with me about curiosities or needs.

Scorpio season is upon us dear ones.....Let's gather and prepare mind-body-spirit-heart to dive into the depths, into the fertile darkness together, in service to our individual and collective healing and transformation.

What's on my mind FB asks.....

Well, this last week of the Eclipse portal, has been "challenging" to put it in a more positive language!

I'm experiencing background agitation, heaviness and grief. Technology, specifically batteries, have been "dying" all around me....which in turn causes me to reflect on my own "battery" and how uncharacteristically tired I've been the past week or so.

I'm noticing how tired many of us are. I'm noticing how much free-floating anxiety and deep, deep grief is in the collective field, and I'm noticing burned out or hyper-drive nervous systems....every where.

So, what's on my mind and moving through my heART right now, is how to support tending the bodies around me, the bodies I inhabit and the great body of mother earth, that we all inhabit.

In service to a deep need ( within me and outside of me) for rest, slow everything, ritual, belonging and spaciousness for healing and simply bee-ing, the beloved magical muse Hanna Ziesel and I are collaborating to offer YOU just such a space, place and time, to ritualize the grief, to belong with community in healing, moving and being, and to rest, receive and nurture bodies-your body, our bodies, our local community body, our planetary body and our collective body of humanity.

If you are tired, frustrated, defeated, confused, or just need permission to reflect, recieve and recalibrate this is your invitation...

Please join us for a community ritual honoring the closing of this profound eclipse portal, Virgo New Moon, and the great turning of the year wheel, welcoming Fall through ceremony, Yin yoga practice, Sound Bath Savasana, and New Moon Herbal tea sharing integration circle.

All are welcome. Come exactly as you are.
Questions, comments, curiosities? Please reach out.

Stay in your lane dear ones, and remember you are worthy of rest, reflection and your birthright of belonging.

In honor of this auspicious day in Vedic astrology, GURU PURNIMA, landing on Full Moon, it is with ecstatic deLIGHT, I welcome YOU to join me, and our entire SoulSpace tribe, in counting down to our official birthing day...

3 days and counting until the SoulSpace Collective opens its doors wide, and welcomes commUNITY near and far, to join us in birthing the newest addition to our outstanding movement arts community.

I've been resting, dreaming, and gathering into my center, awaiting this powerful moment, of birthing, and re-emerging!!

I have missed you all dearly. I have missed the unique magic of practicing in commUNITY with like-hearted, bright-spirited hu-mans, and I have deeply missed guiding and sharing the Root to Rise Yogic path with our greater community.

And now, beloveds, the time is ripe! Summer is at its pinnacle, and the Light is generous and abundant!

Join me in the blossoming joy of arriving (almost!) in our new community hOMe, after a long, dynamic, and challenging path of creation! The whole team has worked diligently, patiently and with absolute devotion to birthing this space, gathering the core-collective and beginning to create the harmonic field of Practice, Nourishment and shared Purpose.

Our very first class offering is SUNDAY at 11am with the phenomenal Abby Jacobs, with our regular schedule to follow, beginning Monday July 14th!

Beloveds, I've missed you! If you hear the call, if you feel the pulse, join me Tuesday July 15th, on the mat, at SoulSpace Collective for my very first class offering at 4:30pm
