Longevity Through Yoga & Ayurveda

Starts this Sunday, May 3rd, 10am ET. Online.

I’m 55 and I’ve never felt clearer, healthier and more vibrant in my life. I started my yoga practice at age 4. Ayurveda was my way of life, without knowing it. The practices I’ll be sharing with you are what I’ve grown up with, and are still part of my daily life.

So, what does it mean to age well while staying vital and joyfully embodying the experience?

Each 90-minute class offers Ayurvedic wisdom, movement, and deep rest, and explores the ancient tools that support longevity and vibrant health.

The roots of longevity are Agni, your digestive fire, Ojas, your vital essence, Prana & Vata for Nervous System care. Come join me to learn more, and grow and stay healthy together.

5 Sundays · May 3–31 · 10–11:30am ET ·

What a beautiful practice at the Broome Street Ganesha Temple. 🙏

Last Saturday we gathered for our Muladhara Root Chakra Workshop, 90 minutes of teaching, asana, mudra, and mantra, all rooted in the energy of the first chakra.

To practice in this sacred space, in the presence of Ganesha, the deity of the root chakra, felt like a true blessing. The energy in the room was grounded, focused, and alive.

I am so grateful to everyone who came and shared this practice with me, in person and on Zoom.

I had friends and students join me in person from New York, New Jersey……AND France, and another drove in from Pennsylvania!!! Students tuned in online from Portugal and Texas! What a beautiful and diverse group.
You all showed up and did the work. Thank you for letting me share what I love.

The next workshop in this chakra series is in the making. Stay tuned. I’m looking forward to it.

Thank you and for having me. 430 Broome Street, New York

SWING INTO SPRING
A Yoga & Ayurveda Renewal

Spring is a natural time for renewal.
After the heaviness and cold of winter, our bodies begin to shift, energies start to rise, circulation improves, and nature invites us to move forward.
In both Yoga and Ayurveda, this seasonal transition is an ideal moment to clear stagnation, ignite Agni, digestive fire, and bring lightness back into the body and mind.
I’m excited to offer a special March online series:

Over four Sundays, we will move through a progression designed to support this seasonal shift.
Week 1 — Cleanse Release winter heaviness through twists and gentle heating practices.
Week 2 — Ignite Strengthen our core and build energy to awaken the body.
Week 3 — Expand Heart-opening postures and breathing practices to create space and vitality.
Week 4 — Rise  Balancing and stabilizing postures, along with meditation to wrap-up the work of the series.

Each class includes asana, pranayama, Ayurvedic tips and a handout to guide you through a simple home-practice to help you incorporate this practice into your daily life.

This series is beginner-friendly and open to all levels.

Join me as we transition into spring with clarity and renewed energy.

Registration is now open. Link in bio.

“Gurus are made to fall” said a wise friend, as I am processing this new information that has come to light about Deepak Chopra.

A few years ago, I co-created a fundraiser event for COVID-relief for India. Deepak Chopra was one of the keynote speakers. I have met him a few times over the years and my experience of him has been positive. He was kind and paternal toward me. He invited me to become one of his educators, and I graciously accepted.

I appreciate his huge contribution in bringing Yoga, Ayurveda and eastern medicine and healing modalities to the mainstream West. It saddens me that he strayed from the path he showed us.

He is a Guru, even in his fall, a mirror, teaching us that we need to tend to the shadows within each of us, and heal our trauma, lest they come out sideways. I hope that he will seek help.

I pray for all the women and children who were victimized and preyed on. I pray that I will continue to see the shadows within myself, bring them to light and heal.

I sat in a cafe across from the ashram in Puttaparthi, listening to the chants of the ongoing Rudra Maha Yajna. I lost myself and painted Baba. I never noticed before how beautiful he is.

Yoga for Long-COVID & Pulmonary Health
Fri, Mar 22, 8-10 am PT/11-1 pm ET.

According to the CDC, 6 in 10 Americans live with at least one chronic disease.

Yoga is often recommended for people with chronic illnesses, yet there is very little discussion about how best to practice. Yoga that is taught consciously can offer a sanctuary of self-care for spoonies (people who have energy-limiting conditions), as well as people with chronic pain or other chronic conditions.

Whether you are a practitioner or a teacher, this new workshop series from the is an opportunity to learn from teachers who have navigated chronic conditions themselves, so that you can gain insight for your own practice or to help you guide your students in a safe and effective way.

Yoga for Spoonies features 10 workshops from Dr. Steffany Moonaz, Katie Blecker, Audrey (Auzhó Yoga), Rodrigo Souza, Marsha D. Banks-Harold, Dr. Shailla Vaidya, Astrid van Rens, Cheri Clampett, Natalia Tabilo, Sarah Thomas, Jivana Heyman, and myself.

*This series began on Wednesday February 28th, however it isn’t too late to catch the final live sessions, including a workshop with myself on Yoga for Long-COVID & Pulmonary Health this Friday, and catch up on the previous sessions via the replays.

My father passed away a week ago on Fri, Feb 2nd. My heart is broken open. I’m blessed to have been there with him before he left. He suffered a lot in the last few years. I’m grateful he is free now.

This is uncharted territory for me, and I’m processing my grief as best as I can while taking care of my mother, and logistics.
It’s been a huge lesson in practicing self-care while care-giving.
All my yoga and meditation practices are rising up to support and give me strength.

I’ll be extending my stay in India for a few more months, and teaching all my classes virtually.

Grateful for life, for all the love that is here and the opportunity to navigate uncertainty as gracefully as I can.

Goodbye Acha. Go in peace. All is well between us. I love you ❤️

2023 is sending me off in a truly special way🌟 I celebrated my birthday in India. It was the first time I’ve seen my parents on my birthday, and celebrated with my mother, since I was 18. It was so magical.

I felt so loved, surrounded by dear friends and had the yummiest vegan chocolate cake ever. Thanks

Grateful for all the gifts and lessons 2023 brought in. Can’t wait to see what 2024 has in store.
Happy New Year everyone. Sending you all so much love❤️🩷❤️
