2 Important Retreat Deadlines
and more to share!

By the time you open this newsletter up to read it, Spring will have Sprung! That’s right, we have all survived another winter, even if the weather has not yet gotten the message. I love this time of year in the Bay Area, where the flowers have already been blooming for a while, and the weather starts to warm nicely, with days getting longer and precious sunshine is more abundant. I hope the gifts of Spring start showing up for you soon!

Unrelated to the seasons changing, a good friend of mine had a colleague send him a link to an article I had been interviewed for about 2 years ago and which I had totally forgotten about. My buddy thought it was interesting reading and important ideas and info on keeping your yoga safe. As I took a look over it, I was pleasantly surprised by what I had told the writer on the topic, and so I’m sharing it with you and adding it to my Blog for future readers to have access to.

I have 2 important deadlines for 2 great retreats quickly approaching: one for Yosemite and one for Sicily.

Plus announcements regarding upcoming workshops, free practice video to share, and a video and book recommendation.

Special Retreat Issue:
Another Chance for You to Join Me at an Actual Ashram in April!

I am fortunate to be returning to the Sivananda Ashram in the the Bahamas from April 24-26, 2026. As last year was my first, this time I can share with you my personal experiences from that initial visit in 2025:

Just a short boat ride across an ocean channel between Nassau and Paradise Island is a thin slice of jungley land that is home to this special place. Arriving by boat, as I stepped onto the dock, it felt as if I was passing through a peaceful portal...
