Idylwild Yoga

11/16/2025

Coming this Tuesday! Join me for Yin yoga and feel ready to embrace the Holidays! Still a few spots left!! ✨

You asked, we listened. I am so happy to announce that we are offering Monthly Yin Yoga classes at Sound & Yoga in Portland, Maine, starting Tuesday, Nov 18th!

It is with great Joy that I am curating these first two Yin classes to support YOU as you enter this Holiday season. These first two classes will focus on supporting ourselves during the bustle of the coming Holiday season. This practice is an invitation to pause, to step away from the hustle, and to offer yourself the gift of deep rest.

We’ll be moving through a series of foundational Yin yoga postures, focusing on stillness, breath, and the present moment rather than muscle engagement. In Yin, we hold poses for several minutes at a time, allowing gravity and time to gently stretch the deeper connective tissues—our fascia, ligaments, and joints. This practice isn't about doing more; it’s about being more present.

Our intention for this session is simple: to help you find a sense of balance, relaxation, and profound rejuvenation. By cultivating this inner calm, you are better equipped to navigate the external demands of the season with grace and a full heart.

Do you love horses?

Do you want a job helping them?

Consider joining our growing team at Peace Ridge’s Northeast Equine Sanctuary

Together, our (relatively) small staff is running one of the most active, respected, and effective equine and farmed animal sanctuary systems in the country and we’re looking to add an additional team member at our horse shelter.

Around here, the animals are our family, and we’re looking for a reliable, responsible, kind person who wants to help be part of our powerhouse team to not only make sure each of our horses gets the very best daily care, but that we’re constantly striving to help as many as we can.

We’re looking for someone who will love the horses like their own, take the work and mission seriously, show up when they are supposed to (no matter the weather), make sure the horses are getting everything they need each day, and be someone the rest of the team, and most importantly the horses, can count on.

We’re looking for someone who wants to do this work longterm, and ideally grow with the organization over time. We’re looking for someone who loves horses and has the grit and heart to do this important work, so we can keep it all going.

One week until our First Monthly Yin Yoga class at Sound & Yoga in Portland, ME!

Join us for an evening of Yin Yoga with the intention of preparing for the coming busy Holiday season.

This practice is an invitation to pause, to step away, and offer yourself the gift of deep rest. We’ll be moving through a series of foundational Yin yoga postures, focusing on stillness, breath, and the present moment rather than muscle engagement.

In Yin, we hold poses for several minutes at a time, allowing gravity and time to gently stretch the deeper connective tissues—our fascia, ligaments, and joints. This practice isn't about doing more; it’s about being more present with what is, including the unease.

Our intention for this session is simple: to help you find a sense of balance, relaxation, and profound rejuvenation. By cultivating this inner calm, you are better equipped to navigate the external demands of the season with grace and a full heart.

This is a limited space, with still some spots open in each class. Visit www.idylwildme.com to book your spot and join the community of Yin Yoga.

These classes are offered at Sound & Yoga, 128 Cassidy Point Dr, 2nd Floor, Portland, ME.

I would LOVE to see you in class with me! I have missed teaching yoga, and I am in awe of the invitations to teach that are opening up. I am being told that it is time.

Many if you know that I spent the first 11 days of July in Italy with my boys. Two years ago, I was invited to join my boys on their Latin Trip to Italy. Having backpacked Italy at the age of 25, I have always wanted to share the beauty of this country with my boys. At 52 years old, Italy did not disappoint. My love of Italy and traveling abroad has been reignited!
Trust me, I am going to look into an Idylwild retreat in Italy for the future!!! In the meantime, Here are a few photos of our trip.
Just to clarify, this was not a vacation... it was an educational tour. As such, we saw soooo much and traveled all throughout Italy over those 11 days, visiting Rome, Pompeii, Sorrento, Capri, Orvieto, Florence, Ravenna, and Venice.
My favorite highlights , besides the food, were Bernini's David at the Galleria Borghese in Rome, swimming in the Mediterranean Sea off of Capri, and walking through the Holy Doors at St Peter's during this Jubilee year. There is so much more too! My heart is so full. Enjoy.
