We're headed to London and I'm kind of obsessed with the new Vera Bradley collection at Target. I couldn't leave home without all these adorable (and incredibly functional) goodies. Ready to hop across the pond, and if you are too check out the link in my bio for some cute new gear. And I know... usually I'm all about the yoga content but I just couldn't skip out on sharing my finds!

I‎ came‎ to‎ Good‎ Commons‎ 10‎ years‎ ago‎ on‎ a‎ retreat…
⁣and‎ I‎ remember‎ thinking:
⁣“Someday,‎ I‎ want‎ to‎ lead‎ something‎ here.”
⁣
⁣At‎ the‎ time,‎ that‎ version‎ of‎ me‎ didn’t‎ quite‎ exist‎ yet.
⁣It‎ took‎ years.
⁣It‎ took‎ growth.
⁣It‎ took‎ leading‎ smaller‎ retreats‎ first.
⁣And‎ this‎ weekend…‎ it‎ finally‎ happened.
⁣
⁣And‎ what‎ I’ve‎ learned,‎ after‎ four‎ years‎ of‎ leading‎ retreats,‎ is‎ this:
⁣Retreats‎ aren’t‎ about‎ perfect‎ schedules,‎ perfect‎ teaching,‎ or‎ perfectly‎ curated‎ experiences.
⁣They’re‎ about‎ real‎ people,‎ real‎ moments,‎ and‎ the‎ space‎ to‎ let‎ something‎ shift.
⁣
⁣Here‎ are‎ 8‎ of‎ the‎ biggest‎ lessons‎ I’ve‎ learned‎ over‎ the‎ years‎ of‎ leading‎ retreats:
⁣(keep‎ scrolling‎ →)
⁣
⁣If‎ you’ve‎ ever‎ thought‎ about‎ going‎ on‎ a‎ retreat…
⁣or‎ you’ve‎ been‎ craving‎ something‎ deeper‎ in‎ your‎ practice…
⁣
⁣This‎ is‎ what‎ we‎ do.
⁣Not‎ just‎ chromatic‎ yoga.
⁣Not‎ just‎ a‎ weekend‎ away.
⁣An‎ experience‎ that‎ stays‎ with‎ you‎ long‎ after‎ you‎ leave.
⁣
⁣Our‎ next‎ chromatic‎ yoga‎ retreat‎ is‎ already‎ in‎ the‎ works‎ for‎ 2027.
⁣Early‎ registration‎ will‎ open‎ to‎ returning‎ retreaters‎ first,‎ then‎ to‎ the‎ public.
⁣
⁣Stay‎ tuned.
⁣And‎ if‎ you‎ feel‎ the‎ pull…‎ trust‎ it.

April is all about the SHOULDERS at

It’s not just about putting your body into shapes
It’s about understanding what’s actually moving when you get there

Here’s the plan that our chromatic board put in place for us to break the month down into 4 key actions:
Week 1: shoulder flexion
Week 2: shoulder extension
Week 3: horizontal abduction
Week 4: horizontal adduction

When you start to feel these instead of just hearing them, your whole practice changes! You'll find more awareness, more intention, and more connection.

Follow along each week and start noticing what’s really happening in your body.

Please tag and collaborate with if you’re exploring with us. We love seeing your ideas and being a global community that supports and lifts each other up.

What can a tea strainer can teach us about yoga?

In my recent podcast episode, I shared this metaphor that has been sitting with me lately.

The experiences we go through in life (the joyful ones, the stressful ones, the painful ones) are like loose leaf tea.

Life itself is the boiling water.

Our practices become the strainer.

Yoga, meditation, movement, reading, friendships, community… these things give our experiences somewhere to land so they can steep into something meaningful.

Without them, life can start to feel like murky water with loose leaves floating around.

One of the ways I think about The Yoga Barn is exactly this way, a sturdy and welcoming strainer that can help hold what life pours over you.

If you're looking for supportive practices, you can practice with me in person at The Yoga Barn or online through my Bite-Sized Yoga programs.

Sorry everyone, we need another day to clean from the blizzard and shovel out enough parking. Still snowing for another few hours and we just can't keep up! Stay warm and cozy! A few spots are open still for Wednesday morning 9:30, can't wait to see you!

What a winter this has been! We haven't seen this much snow in YEARS! With your own safety in my mind, I have decided to cancel all classes tomorrow. I apologize for any inconvenience, but will be spending the time shoveling out so we have spots available for parking on Tuesday morning! Stay safe, warm, and cozy. Don't forget to bend your knees when you shovel!

So grateful to receive such thoughtful and kind words from members of our community. Thank you for sharing your experiences in our practice together.

I would be so grateful if you want to share your own experiences, on The Yoga Barn's google page here: https://g.page/r/CWV053I0voKcEAI/review

Your thoughts and experiences are what pave the path for others to know they are welcome and that there is a place for them at The Yoga Barn. Thank you all for your continued support and community!

25 years ago today you asked me to be your girlfriend and the world changed. I fell for the boy I used to scare in elementary school because I talked too much. But something's changed in a blink of an eye. You stared wearing wool socks and Birkenstocks as you tapped your foot next to me playing clarinet in high school band and you stopped being my Greggy's little friend and became the love of my life. Thanks for loving me through the good and the hard and the fun and the messy and my big giant ideas that I just run for. I'm the luckiest girl in the world. Even though you're not on Instagram maybe our kids and .16 will show you this little live note, but more than anything maybe they always know how much I love their dad today, 25 years ago, and for always. Happy dating anniversary Nanny!

Releasing the calves isn’t just about “rolling it out.”

The real gift comes when we follow self-myofascial release with intentional movement in ways that both lengthen and strengthen the muscles we just worked on. That’s where lasting change happens.

In this video, I’m sharing a portion of the calf sequence from my Bite-Sized Yoga: Self-Myofascial Release program, where we combine SMR with targeted yoga to help your body feel lighter, stronger, and more supported.

Try this out and notice how your calves feel when you stand, walk, or practice afterward.

If this kind of work resonates, you can explore the full self-guided program through the link in my bio to find short practices designed to help you move better every day.

Save this for later and let me know how it feels.

This month in Chromatic Yoga, we’re coming back to the foundations of our practice, and week one starts at the feet.

When was the last time you rolled out your feet and actually gave them some care?

They carry us through our lives, connect us to the ground beneath us, and quietly do so much work… yet they’re often the most overlooked part of our practice.

Our feet are our roots.

And when we take the time to restore them, we create more stability, balance, and connection everywhere else.

This week, let’s focus on recovery and care so our feet can truly ground and support us.

If you want more short, intentional practices like this, check out Bite-Sized Yoga: Self-Myofascial Release. This is a lifetime access self-guided program designed to help you feel better in your body, one small practice at a time.

Link in bio.

Save this for later and let me know how your feet feel after.

Shoulder tension doesn’t always come from the shoulder itself.

Watch how to release the serratus anterior with self-myofascial release, then lengthening the side body we just worked to help the shoulders feel lighter and more supported.

A little self-myofascial release + targeted yoga can create real, lasting relief.

This is exactly the kind of work we do inside Bite-Sized Yoga: Self-Myofascial Release. I created these short, self-guided practices to help you move better, breathe easier, and feel more at home in your body.

Try this one and let me know how it feels.
