Take a Pause. Join me for a soothing Yin/Restorative Workshop designed to soften tension and help you reset from the inside out. When life gets busy, it’s easy to feel stress and overwhelm. This Yin/Restorative Workshop offers a grounding pause—an opportunity to settle your nervous system and let go of deeply held tension. Yin yoga invites you to hold floor-based poses for several minutes, gently accessing the fascia and joints. Restorative poses use props like bolsters and blankets to fully support the body in passive, nurturing positions that encourage profound release. Together, these practices guide you into deeper states of relaxation, allowing the body and mind to soften, unwind, and reset.
The combination of breath work, slow deep stretches and prop-supported shapes will restore calm and replenish your energy.

Happy New Year to everyone!
After a busy holiday season filled with gatherings, travel, and full days, many of us are feeling run down and exhausted. Disrupted routines, emotional demands, and the ongoing challenges of 2025 can leave the body tired, the mind overstimulated, and energy reserves low. If you’re feeling depleted right now, it’s a natural response to a very full season.

As we move into 2026, this is an invitation to gently restore balance and rebuild energy. When we support the body and calm the mind, clarity naturally returns—and setting New Year intentions becomes more easeful and aligned.

In the weeks ahead, my offerings are here to support this reset: Yin/Restorative yoga workshop to help melt stress (Sunday, January 11th), a Functional Ayurveda detox cleanse (starting on January 12th) to gently bring the body back into balance, and ongoing private and public yoga sessions. This is also the final opportunity to join me for the Nurture in Nature Wellness Retreat in Costa Rica, a deeply nourishing experience for rest and renewal. DM me for more information.
