Root to Rise Yoga

04/12/2026

Moon has been hiding these past few days with the sky spectacularly active, alive with the thunder and lightening gods, reminding us of their place! Behind the flashes and clouds, Moon grows thin, more elusive, and the cycling turns towards the energy and principal of beginning.

Dark Moon draws near, and that which was illuminated becomes shadow, and we are invited inward to our own dark landscape.
This is the first New Moon of the zodiac, arriving through the cardinal Fire sign of Aries 🔥🐏🔥🐏

Fire is upon us! We will need to learn to hold fire in a good way to align with the life-giving, life-sustaining, and life-expanding capacity that lives within and through the elemental expression of Fire!

When humans learned to harness and create fire, our entire evolutionary trajectory changed. Life on this planet was never the same.

And now, at a time when we have witnessed Fire being utilized and co-opted for terrible atrocities that threaten all life on this planet, particularly human life, we are being called to re-align with and encourage the LIFE giving, LIFE sustaining, and LIFE expanding aspects of this most potent element.

Fire lives within us and exists outside of us.
Fire has many aspects, and posses a magic that is almost unequaled in its elemental expression. Sit and watch fire. Use your hands and your breath to create fire and notice the quality and aliveness of the fire. Fire transforms faster and with more intensity and efficiency than any other element. Yet, it is precisely through a devoted relationship to Fire that our ancestors transformed their inner landscape in ways that we are still benefiting from today.

Our ancestors also tended Fire as sacred for ceremony and spiritual purposes and most importantly for our local community, Fire was an intimate and precious ally for tending the land on which we walk now.

Fire is sacred and when held relationally, one of our greatest elemental allies.

Join me THIS Friday, 6-8pm at Inner Path for this moonth's
Aries New Moon Seed Flow!

Let us remember our sacred connection to the Fire within and without, through plant allies, lunar wisdom attunement, fire-elemental lunar yoga flow, intentional breathing, meditation and an extended opportunity to rest and receive through a LIVE sound healing Savasana with my dear friend, Peter Domecq.

I am BLOOMING dear ones!

Soul-many new and precious-to-my-heart-offerings to share with you all...

First to open is "Family Yoga" at Soulspace Collective! I am particularly deLIGHTed to be offering practice for YOU and your little people! And, ALL Kin, ALL family is welcome to participate. We will have two different classes by age.
"Babe's In Arms," is for those with little littles, ages 3-12mo. Babes are worn on the body or held during the practice. This class is offered as a safe, welcoming, playful and family-style community orientated space, to be in the practice of yoga AND family life in community. Classes are offered as a series for a discount or as drop-ins at full price. ALL levels class with no experience needed.

Additionally, I am offering "Babes by Your Side" a family style yoga class where your toddling little one does the practice WITH you! Littles need to be capable of standing and moving fairly well on their own, near you. This delightfully busy and colorfully chaotic space is offered for those deep in family service who long for space to be both in practice and in connection with their family. We will also introduce and explore mindfulness, which is an essential facet of a vital human and beginning at this age, can have a lifetime of positive impact. Maintaining play at our core, with curiosity as our guide, we will embark on a silly, supportive and fun adventure through the practice of yoga.

🌈PLEASE SHARE with any family folk who may be interested and needing space to practice in while honoring this stage of life.

Blossoming April 2nd, 6:30-8pm we launch our initial series of "Body Puzzle" at DMTree Wellness in Auburn. This series aims to "un-lock" the body, piece by piece, to increase range of motion, increase mobility, work to alleviate tension and support the entire mind-body connection while un-locking the breath as the foundation of it all. This is a semi-private opportunity for those who are new to yoga, working through chronic tension or stiffness, returning to a practice after injury, or any one who sits in front of a screen or at a desk or in their car daily!! I will offer modifications, alignment invitations and hands-on assistance to support you in deepening your experience and connection with your body and mind. Each class will follow a similar arc, except different parts of the body will be featured and explored each class. The main arc however, includes
✨Centering/Locating Physical, Mental, Emotional sensation
✨Grounding
✨Breathwork (Cultivating the Diaphragm)
✨Asana-Beginner Level with a therapeutic overall perspective
✨Pranayama
✨Savasana with Yoga Nidra

We journey for 9 Thursday's together, un-locking piece by piece, and re-connecting the "Processor"(brain/mind) with the "Mainframe" (physical body/nervous system).

9 Is the number of completion. 3 sets of 3 and 3 represents the Holy Trinity (which has many expressions, including Mind, Body, Spirit) Are you complete with chronic tension and holding? Are you complete with a busy, anxious, numb mind? Perhaps you feel complete with ignoring your body's calling for care, attention and well-being? Body Puzzle is our invitation to join a small, intimate group of other seekers who are ready to un-lock their body and harness the power of mind IN body-also known as, deep Presence.

Please connect with me about questions or curiosities or concerns about any of these offerings. I am here for you.

Even more is blossoming my dear ones.....a VERY special Beltane & Events @ Rosebud ✨🌹 is afoot where I will be supporting our ceremony......annnnnddddd we close the Summer season out with the growing local legend, Lady Camp Retreats｜Empowerment, Pleasure, and Play where I will be offering Morning Practice and a very special Yin Yoga and Sound Bath experience.

More to come dear one's! Please stay connected for all the beauty that is blooming in my teaching, and if you feel inspired to share these offerings or share my contact for private personalized instruction please do!:

It means the world to me when I am connected to those seeking, through my community. Your sharing is tremendously supportive 🫶💞👏

And, go play in your garden and sing to your fruit trees!!! Listen for the song of SPRING and sing it back to Earth

In alignment with my favorite time of year, Spring time, the returning of the Sun, the promise of re-birth, renewal and the celebration of fertility/creativity and LIFE force, I have several new offerings BLOOMING that I am deLIGHTed to share with you!!!

THIS Friday we gather round in honor of New Moon AND the Spring Equinox 💐🌙💐This moonth's New Moon in the sign of Pieces, our first New Moon since the Virgo Eclipse, invites us into the space that powerful eclipse time created. In this new spaciousness we are now invited to Trust. Much has been released, willingly or not, and we have arrived in unfamiliar territory with no external map. The map lives within each of us, manifest as intuition, discernment and trust. This moonth's lunation is welcoming us to a new way of moving through the world, through our personal individual lives, as well as, our collective living and being. Trusting in the unfolding mysterious awakening and remembering that is happening rapidly all over the planet, can be profoundly challenging-especially when the waves of grief and healing are so massive! AND, Pieces is most at home in flow, in the water element that is lovingly held/guided by the earth element-the riverbank-while always being allowed and encouraged to FLOW, MOVE, and DANCE its way "home".

Join me, this Friday at Inner Path, for our moonthly, commUNITY Lunar attunement, elemental yoga flow, breath-work, meditation and extended savasana with LIVE sound healing!
🌛6-8pm DM to register or with questions 🌜

Starting Tuesday March 31st 1:30pm at Soulspace Collective I am offering Family Yoga! This first class is for "Babes in Arms" and I am offering another class Thursdays, starting April 2nd, at 1:30pm for "Babes by Your Side". You can register here: https://momence.com/Soulspace-Collective/membership/Family-Yoga-Babes-in-Arms-Workshop-Series/692938

It is with great JOY that I invite ALL kin-choosen or by blood-to enjoy a yogic space where practice includes and is devoted to, littles and the ones who love and care for them! Often, when we are navigating these major life changes, along with the amount of dedication and sacrifice raising children requires, we need the practice the most! And, can you imagine if you had started your yoga practice and mindfulness as a little human?! Spread the word dear one's, and get ready with me to welcome a lot more FUN (and noise 🙃) to the yoga room!

My final blossoming offering, is particularly exciting, as I stretch my wings and venture out to Auburn! I am collaborating with DMTree Wellness in Auburn California, offering weekly classes AND a very special 9 Class Series, "Body Puzzle!"

This unique offering is designed for folks who are new, beginning their yoga practice, OR especially for those with chronic and/or long-held tension. This series welcomes ANYONE who is deeply needing to "un-lock" and reconnect fully with their body-mind or those genuinely seeking to re-establish that connection in service to increased vitality, well-being, and relief from chronic "holding."

If you have to sit at a desk, stare for long periods of time at a screen, drive in a car daily through long-distance, or have pain, tension or chronic dysfunction in your body, we are designing this for YOU! We are welcoming YOU specifically and especially. Our birthright is Wholeness, Vitality and Integrity. Join me and DmTree Wellness in Auburn for a 9-class series to support you in unlocking the body piece-by-piece, unlocking the breath (the master key to it all) and establishing a practice to support you in accessing your innate vitality. Stay connected with these Auburn offerings here: https://dmtree.live/movment #

PLEASE help spread the word as I fly south to share the Root to Rise approach to the Yogic path, by sharing these opportunities with any and all folk in the Auburn area.

Wide horizons, BIG open skies, rainbows and open-hearted joy for what's coming friends.....Join me on the path 👣💜👣💜

Greetings beloved community!! TOMORROW we gather in celebration and attunement with profound astrological opportunities for revolutionary transformation and quantum leaps in consciousness!!

Join me and my dear friend Peter M Domecq for magical evening of lunar-inspired Air elemental movement, herbal Aquarius/Eclipse New Moon tea, breath expansion, meditation for eclipse alignment and closing by integrating through live sound healing during extended savasana!

It's been a WILD stormy magical beginning to the year of the Fire Horse, as well as the opening of the eclipse portal that we are now crossing through! Magnified by an Aquarian New Moon and a powerful alignment of Saturn and Neptune meeting at 0' Aries....a new era is beginning!

If it feels safe for you to venture out, this alignment is extremely rare, and offers the cosmic support needed to truly transform our personal AND collective beliefs and practices related to our Systems/Structure and our Dreaming.

Our individual healing, transformation and raising of vibration impacts the collective and impacts the entire human family and planetary family of kin as we make our transition into the time of the great awakening heart consciousness.

Let's be together, after the storm...

The storm approaches and New Moon arrives very soon!

We are shedding the final skins of past and feeling the deepening pulse, the hoof beats of the approaching Fire Horse!

I have been extraordinarily uncomfortable this weekend.
I have been held in gentle loving presence.
I have cried. I have laughed. I have danced until I was pouring sweat.
This final period of letting go, of particularly old stagnate emotion, while riding quite the wave of expansion and contraction these past 72 hours has delivered me to the threshold of the end of one cycle and the beginning of the next.

I feel time speeding up as we walk towards the first eclipse of the year, a total annular eclipse, ushering us through the portal of shadow work, and tending any lingering debris in the shadows, before we exit the portal on full moon with the partial lunar eclipse, and truly begin a wildly creative, passionate and unprecedented new cycle!

Join me THIS Friday, during the only forecasted break in weather, to gather with commUNITY to attune, move, breathe and connect through lunar wisdom and lunar practice.

All bodies and ALL levels of practice welcome
Friday February 20, 6-8pm

Greetings commUNITY!

This moonth's New Moon ushers in an extraordinarily powerful portal time! The Aquarius New Moon is the entry point for the coming Eclipse Portal, the beginning of the Fire Horse Year AND Lunar Imbolc-the cross-quarter holy-day that marks the initial return of Springs promise of Light!

There are soul many cosmic and earthly invitations all weaving together during this wildly powerful new moon cycle.
Gathering with commUNITY at this time is critical and a radical act of defiance in the face of the "story" of manufactured separation and intentional division.

We need spaces and practices to support us in re-membering our innate Wholeness, re-enacting our birthright of Vitality and helping us to re-align with personal and communal Integrity.
This moonth's New Moon Seed Flow offers all bodies the opportunity to gather together to attune, practice, breath, move contemplate and rest into Lunar Wisdom as we embark on our collective journey through the first annular Solar eclipse, riding right into the new year of the Fire Horse, with the turning of the season close behind.

These portals hold tremendous significance for what is actually occurring earth-side, as well as, offering invitations for personal and collective transformation and healing.

The energy moving through the planetary body and therefore our bodies, will begin to pick up at full force for Fire Horse year while also propelling us through an eclipse portal from which you will not exit the same person.

The degree to which you are conscious and in creation of who that person will be on the other side and who begins this exciting, full-power year, depends entirely on how much self-awareness and heart-centered consciousness you enter into it with.

Our gathering on February 20th, 6-8pm, offers you the opportunity to attune, align and harmonize with these cosmic and earthly forces to support you in staying fully conscious and in your creative power while also expanding and connecting with heart-centered consciousness throughout this coming moon cycle, eclipse portal and potent Fire Horse year.

There are many forces bidding, grasping and harvesting your attention at this time. Evil is being exposed every where we look.
And, I humbly ask you to consider what you are "feeding" with your attention? We have free-will (mostly) and we have choice (mostly) about where we place our attention, and what we offer our energy to!

This moonth's New Moon, Annular Solar Eclipse and beginning of the Year of the Fire Horse, offers us an alignment that carries both earthly & cosmic power that can be directed in service to Life-sustaining energies and to assist in birthing "the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible."

I invite you join me and my dear friend Peter Domecq for a community attunement with opportunities to focus your attention towards your purpose for being on this planet at this time and offer attention towards transmutation of nefarious forces, personal and collective healing, and to place attention on the power and beauty of commUNITY.

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.

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!
✨🦂🌙🦅✨❤️‍🔥
