As we approach the close of this calendar year, I invite you to slow down just enough to notice where you are. The end of a year is not a finish line to race toward, but a threshold that asks us to pause, reflect, and gently loosen our grip on what no longer needs to be carried forward.

This is a time to practice kindness, especially with yourself. To soften expectations. To honor boundaries that protect your energy. To make room for gratitude, even alongside uncertainty. Let compassion guide how you speak to yourself and others, and permit yourself to meet your own needs without apology.

As we release what belongs to the past year, may we also release the urge to rush into what’s next. Practice presence here, in this moment. Find peace with what has been, and trust that what is meant to come will meet you in its own time.

With love and steadiness,
Liz 💛

The year turns this week, and with it comes the promise of new beginnings. 🌅 Birds take flight, clouds drift across expansive skies, and the sun rises on a fresh horizon.

This week, let your practice be a celebration of what’s behind, a grounding in the present, and an invitation to step into the year ahead with intention, strength, and clarity.

Breathe in possibility. Move with purpose. Welcome 2026 on the mat.

✨ Day 25 of 25 Days of Asana ✨

We end where the practice truly settles — in Savasana. In a season that often feels full, fast, and busy, this final pose invites deep rest, integration, and stillness. Allow the body to soften completely, the breath to move naturally, and the nervous system to slow down. Nothing to do. Nothing to fix. Just space to be.

Though Day 25 isn’t pictured within the advent calendar itself, we’ve included both the beginning and completed versions of our 25 Days of Asana to reflect the journey we’ve shared together — from first pose to final rest. Swipe through to see the full flow and linger here as long as you need.

Pose: Co**se Pose (Savasana) featuring Liz.

Thank you for moving, breathing, and resting with us through all 25 days. 💛

✨ Day 24 of 25 Days of Asana ✨

From your Reclined Twist, slowly return to center and begin to scoot closer to a wall, gently swinging the legs up and resting them overhead. Allow the arms to relax by your sides or rest on the belly as you settle into stillness. Legs Up the Wall is a deeply restorative pose that encourages circulation, soothes tired legs, and signals the nervous system that it’s safe to rest.

As we near the final day of our 25 Days of Asana, let this pose be an invitation to pause, soften, and simply breathe.

As the year comes to a close, we invite you to celebrate in light—whether you’ve flowed through Couch to 108, practiced sun salutations for years, or are simply curious to try something new. This is a magical, go-at-your-own-pace moment to move, breathe, and honor the year together. Let’s close this chapter with warmth, joy, and commUNITY.

✨ Day 23 of 25 Days of Asana ✨

We’re nearly there! From Bridge Pose, gently lower the hips back to the mat and hug the knees in. Extend the arms out wide into a T shape, then allow both knees to fall to left side first for a few breaths, easing into a Reclined Twist. Let the shoulders soften toward the floor and give yourself permission to stay for a few slow, nourishing breaths.

This twist offers a quiet release for the spine and nervous system — a moment to unwind, reset, and simply receive as our 25 Days of Asana begins to wind down.

12/22/2025

As winter arrives and nature herself turns inward, we are invited to slow down. Beneath the bare branches and frozen ground, a deep kind of rest is happening. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is forced.

Winter asks us to soften our pace, to listen more closely, and to honor the wisdom of stillness. It is a time for warmth, nourishment, and quiet rituals that help us feel held. Warm meals, early nights, gentle movement, and moments of silence help settle the nervous system and allow us to match our rhythms to the natural world.

And yet, woven into winter is a quiet turning toward the light. Even as the nights remain long, the days are slowly beginning to stretch again. There is a subtle promise here that rest and renewal are not separate from growth. They are what make growth possible.

This week, consider how you might welcome winter rather than resist it. Where can you create more quiet? More warmth? More space to rest without guilt? And where can you notice the smallest hints of returning light? In your body? Your breath? Your thoughts? Or your days?

May this season be one of deep nourishment, gentle reflection, and trust in the slow unfolding ahead.

With warmth and light,
Liz

✨ Day 22 of 25 Days of Asana ✨

From Boat Pose, gently lower the feet back to the mat and slowly roll down onto your back, hugging the knees in for a moment of ease. Plant the soles of the feet, press into the floor, and lift the hips into Bridge Pose, allowing the chest to open and the breath to expand. Setu Bandhasana strengthens the back body while offering a gentle, supportive heart opener as our flow begins to soften.

This pose invites balance between effort and ease — a perfect theme as we move toward the closing days of our 25 Days of Asana.

Pose: Bridge Pose (Setu Bandhasana) featuring Geo Soul, a beautiful presence in our Yoga Teacher Training program.

Where Mindfulness Begins

The light and love that is me… recognizes, honors and bows to the light and love that is each of you.

A turn of phrase I’ve ended my classes with for so long, I can’t honestly recall the first time those words came together. But it doesn’t matter. The sentiment that I communicate out to my students comes as a result of a powerful journey that started solely because I wanted to work out without sweating!

For many, yoga can seem like a daunting, cliquish activity of devoutly flexible folks — all bending to complex-sounding poses like Eka Pada Rajakapotasana. But after more than 4,000 hours of teaching the practice, let me say that yoga simply isn’t that.

Yoga is more than exercise, mantras or an excuse to wear comfortable pants. I’ve come to learn it is a set of tools that bring wellness to the body and mind. And over time, my students and I come to understand the transformational power of the practice. It’s how I’ve taken my naturally “Type-A+” personality and have seen it relax it into what I’ve happily dubbed “Just a Regular Type A”. See? Progress.
