There’s something special about beginning the day with calm energy and an open heart. Imagine stepping onto your mat, inhaling the crisp clarity of peppermint, the floral serenity of ylang ylang, and the refreshing zest of lemongrass.

Each breath awakens your body. Each movement releases tension. Each drop of essential oil connects you back to yourself.

💚 Peppermint to awaken the mind.
💛 Lemongrass to uplift your spirit.
🌸 Ylang Ylang to soothe the heart.

This peaceful morning flow blends gentle yoga, mindful breathing, and aromatic support to help you feel centered, refreshed, and ready to embrace the day.

Join me in person or online and let’s begin the morning grounded, present, and glowing from within. ✨

🌿 Living with Multiple Sclerosis for over two decades has shaped who I am not just through challenges, but through purpose.

There were years I stayed quiet about my diagnosis. But once I began sharing my story, everything changed. I found community, courage, and connection.

Today, as a State and District Advocacy Leader for the National MS Society, I’ve seen how one voice can ripple into change whether it’s through awareness, policy, or compassion.

Yoga became my bridge back to myself. Through MS Yoga Movements, I create spaces where every body can move, breathe, and feel supported no matter their limitations.

If you live with MS, I want you to know: your voice matters. 💛

Share your story. Join the movement. Let’s keep creating change together, one breath and one story at a time.

Join the MS Collective Community on Facebook for more information and support.

🌳 Accessible Tree Pose (Vrksasana)
Root down. Rise up. Find your balance, your way.

🌿 “Balance isn’t about standing still it’s about learning to sway with grace, rooted in strength and guided by breath.” — MS Yoga Movements

Tree Pose is one of my favorites because it reminds us that balance isn’t about perfection it’s about connection.
Some days, your foot might lift high; other days, it barely leaves the ground. Both are perfect.

Try this at home:
• Begin standing tall or seated with your feet grounded.
• Shift your weight gently to one side.
• Bring the sole of your foot to your ankle or calf (skip the knee).
• Hands come to heart or lift like branches to the sky.
• Breathe deeply and feel your strength grow from within.

Every time you practice, you plant a seed of balance body, mind, and spirit working together in harmony.

If you’d like to experience yoga that meets you exactly where you are, join me for Accessible Yoga in person here in Miami or online from anywhere.

Let’s grow stronger together one breath, one stretch, one moment of stillness at a time.

For a long time, I believed that healing involved being serious, persevering, and maintaining composure. However, the truth is that healing also manifests in laughter. It manifests in sitting in the sand, with messy hair and bare feet, finding joy in the simplest of moments.

Multiple Sclerosis has taught me to acknowledge both the challenging days when my body feels heavy and the joyful days when happiness flows effortlessly. Both experiences are valid and integral to my journey.

Perhaps yoga reminds us of this: to be present with all of it—the strength, the softness, the laughter, and the tears.

I’d love to know what one simple moment brought you joy this week. 🌊💚

“Last night was about celebrating Ho 🌸 and being surrounded by a group of empowering women who inspire me daily. 💫

It was a reminder that showing up matters as a professional yoga teacher, an MS advocate, and as a woman walking this journey with purpose. Together, we rise, support, and celebrate one another. 🌿💖

I’d love to keep this energy flowing beyond nights like these. If you’re looking for connection, support, and inspiration, come join my online community The MS Collective 💫 a space where we lift each other up and share this journey together.
