Welcome the New Year! I look forward to journeying throughout the year with you as we deepen into our authentic selves through mindful movement, body strengthening and resilience building, breath awareness, and restorative relaxation. Join me in studio on Wednesday at the Olean Meditation Center, online on Mondays and Wednesdays, or let's talk about private sessions that meet you where you are. Don't fall for the "new year, new you" rhetoric - you are already all that you need to be. Let's start from there. DM for more information. Namaste, beautiful people!!

It was a peaceful and contemplative pre-solstice evening at last night. Thank you to all who came and shared in the tradition of a Yule spiral that Celine Daly and I made from locally gathered pine boughs and cones. I hope that on the time of the winter solstice (Sunday, 10:03 am), you can make time to pause, observe, honor, and commit positive affirmations that return light and hope on our personal and collective journeys. Ring a bell, bang a drum, raise your voice in joyful music to cast away the darkness and welcome the return of the light. ❄️

Drop in when you can! I know that your weekly schedule is full and often unpredictable. Seasonal holidays can be stressful and demanding. And life...well, life can be challenging and downright tough lately. Safe, balanced, accessible mindful yoga movement and relaxation are valuable tools in your "Bring it on...I got this" toolbox. Join me for any of my classes whenever you can and we'll start from where you are.

Novembahhhhhh.....pause, rebalance, and renew with any of my yoga classes. Yin Yoga starts this Tuesday at 7 pm on Zoom and is an ideal way to ground, center, and calm at the end of your day. You can even do Yin in your jammies so that you are all set for a quiet evening's rest. A new four-week session of Yoga for the Very Beginner starts on Monday, Nov. 24 at the Olean Meditation Center and is a good option for both newbies and experienced yogis alike. I welcome new students all the time and all my classes are "drop in" format so no need to commit to a block of time or expense.

Doesn’t every yoga retreat center have an on campus coffee and cocoa bean roastery and cafe, along with miles of wooded trails? Then you haven’t been to Himalayan Institute and Moka Origins. Recharge my soul.

It was a fun evening shared with a few of my favorite people! Center of Solitude’s Peaceful Harvest fundraiser event featured outstanding homemade vegan food buffet, live music, connecting with nice people, and a few rounds of highly competitive Mindfulness Bingo!
