Lighthearted Living with Yoga & Creativity 🧘‍♀️ Offering weekly Public & Private Yoga classes

You're invited to the last mini-retreats of the year: Join me for Welcome Winter and Goodbye 2025! From 12:00 to 2:30 pm on Monday, 12/22 (Welcome Winter), and Monday, 12/29 (Goodbye 2025)!

Each session will offer the perfect yoga blend: a fun, themed flow (vinyasa), a slow, restorative stretch (restorative), and a guided, deeply relaxing rest (nidra). We will also take a few minutes for a simple, heart-centered activity to help invite a personal mantra to the surface for the new year. You will leave with your 2026 mantra in hand, something to anchor you as we step into a fresh season.

A light snack will be provided, and I encourage you to bring an extra blanket and bolster so you can fully settle into rest during yoga nidra.

As my special holiday gift to you, you can sign up for this one-of-a-kind mini-retreat using one of your class passes. Drop-ins will be just $15.

Give yourself permission to say yes (and yes, you can do both if you want to). Click below to RSVP :

We have a very special birthday in the house: Our one and only mascot, Winnie the Poodle, turns 15 today! So far today we have basked in the early morning moonlight, had a snuggle massage, enjoyed our favorite breakfast, and gone back to sleep for epic dreams that involve both barking and kicking.

She has had a bit of a ruff year, but she continues to amaze me with her resilient spirit and steady strength. I know our yoga classes do not feel quite the same without her, but I am so grateful that she got to join us as Teacher's Pet for as long as she did. Now that she's retired, she has even more time to take long naps with loud snores, snuggle mama, and lie in the sunshine.

Happy Birthday to my sweet girl!

Do you have any pictures of Winnie? If so, I would love to see them. Feel free to post in comments or send me directly! Thank you 🎉🙏

✨ What a magical book club! ✨

We had the sweetest surprise last week when Kelsey Cox, author of Party of Liars, showed up to join us! We asked her all the questions... about the book, her writing process, and her journey to becoming an author. She was so gracious and even helped us choose our next read!

This month, we’re diving into In the Woods by Tana French, the first in the Dublin Murder Squad series. Want to join us? Just grab the book and save the date: Snack & Chat on Thursday, October 9, Noon–1:45 pm.

📚 Curious minds, good conversations, and plenty of snacks...come be part of it!

The other day I was sitting still in the middle of a field on my parents' ranch... just breathing, just being... when a big ol’ bumblebee zipped right in front of my face! I startled for a moment, my whole body tensing, until it landed softly on my knee.

I froze and let it rest there. And as I sat with this tiny, gentle creature... close enough to see the little joints in its fuzzy legs, I laughed to myself: “Well, isn’t this just the bees’ knees.”

And then I started wondering...where does that phrase even come from?

It turns out, it first showed up in the 18th century to describe something small or insignificant… which makes sense when you think about how tiny bees’ knees actually are! But by the 1920s, the meaning completely flipped. Thanks to jazz-age slang, “the bees’ knees” came to mean something excellent, delightful, the very best.

That shift got me thinking about yoga (surprise, surprise). How often do the little things, the ones we dismiss, overlook, or even resist, hold the most power?

That single extra breath when you want to come out of the pose. The tiny micro-adjustment that nobody else notices, but suddenly your balance lands. The quiet moment of stillness that feels awkward at first, until clarity drops in.

Sometimes, the parts of our practice that seem the smallest (or even the most uncomfortable) are actually the gold nuggets of growth.

The places where we meet resistance, uncertainty, or that shaky edge of discomfort... those are the bees’ knees. That’s where transformation begins.

So maybe this week, notice one small thing you’d normally skip past:
A single breath...
A fleeting moment of stillness...
A tiny shift in awareness.

It might just surprise you how big those little things really are. 🐝

Since we’ll be taking a short break from in-person yoga (no classes on August 25, 27, September 1, or 3), this could be the perfect chance to dive deeper into your practice at your own pace and from the comfort of home.

How to Train Your Dog offers focused learning on the dynamic, foundational pose that is Downward Facing Dog, while What’s Up Dog breaks down steps and variations to build toward Upward Facing Dog. Both are just $15 each (unless you're already a virtual member, then they're already in your library!).

If you’ve been curious about refining your practice, these workshops are a great way to deepen your understanding. You get to pause, rewind, take before and after pictures of yourself, stop to pet your dog...and who knows, maybe your pup will learn a thing or two right alongside you!

This Saturday, join us at Trilogy Dance Center (downtown Bulverde) for a gentle way to start your weekend with intention. We’ll begin with an all-levels yoga class at 9:30 am, followed by a sound bath from 10:30-11:30 am. You can come for one or stay for both.

Perhaps you are wondering..."what's a sound bath?"
Don’t worry...no towels required (though you may want an extra blanket and bolster!). This bath is fully clothed, and you won’t even get your hair wet. Instead, you’ll be immersed in waves of sound that help shift your brain into a deeply relaxed state, releasing tension and calming the nervous system in ways words can’t quite describe.

If you haven't experienced the sound bath at our new location (Trilogy Dance Center in downtown Bulverde), I highly encourage you to come check it out. I felt like I was being pulled into the floor... remember the carnival ride, the Gravitron? Kind of like that.

Feel free to just show up (and bring a friend)!

Feel free to forward this to a friend who could use a little support (and permission!) to lighten up their life.

🥁Introducing Hand Craft Yoga's 🌠Student Spotlight🌠... Julie! I am inspired by Julie's dedication to practice, even with her demanding commute and work schedule.
Please read on for her thoughtful insights:

🌀What is your favorite part of yoga?
My favorite part of yoga is being in the moment. When I am going through a sequence or holding a pose, I am not thinking about anything else. For a person that is generally anxious, yoga helps me to calm my mind and lets me just be in the present.

🌀How long have you been practicing yoga?
I have been practicing yoga on and off for approximately 18 years. I started practicing at Hand Craft Yoga in Summer 2024 after a bit of a hiatus.

🌀What is something that yoga has helped you overcome?
Yoga helps me to be more calm and grounded. I tend to be anxious and worry about things excessively. Yoga helps me to deal with my anxiety and it helps me to remember to breathe.

🌀Do you have any words of advice for a brand-new beginner?
Be kind to yourself and don't compare yourself to others. Your yoga practice is unique to you and your body.

🌀What is one fun fact that we may not know about you?
I have been married to my husband for 27 years. I dated him 10 years before we married, so we have been together for 37 years!

Thank you for sharing your practice with us, Julie!

🥁Introducing Hand Craft Yoga's 🌠June Student Spotlight🌠... Anastassia! It has been so much fun getting to know her as we've shared wine, yoga, and a lot of laughter! Please read on for her thoughtful insights:

🌀What is your favorite part of yoga?
My favorite part of yoga is the ability to quiet the constant voice in my head and be fully present with the moving, and the breathing. My mind goes blank every time I’m practicing and it feels like the greatest of self cares!

🌀How long have you been practicing yoga?
I’ve done yoga on and off since college ( 15 years and counting!) from bikram to goat, from NYC to Bermuda.
I love how every single time you can learn something new and even the same position will feel very differently from day to day.

🌀What is something that yoga has helped you overcome?
My own thoughts of not being good enough. As someone who has battled infertility, I’ve struggled with feeling less than. Yoga is a soothing balm for my soul and it anchors me like nothing else. Also, it has given me a sense of community and belonging that I haven’t found anywhere else.

🌀Do you have any words of advice for a brand-new beginner?
Go with the flow and don’t be afraid to hand craft your yoga ;)

🌀What is one fun fact that we may not know about you?
I speak three languages but never learned to ride a bicycle!

Thank you for sharing your practice with us, Anastassia!

It was May 2013 that we first opened The Sanctuary at Family Fitness, and then May 2021 that I opened Hand Craft Yoga Studio. Now, in May 2025, we celebrate new beginnings and fantastic farewells!
This past week, we practiced letting go as we said goodbye to our long-time yoga home, the studio and property off Highway 281.
Thank you to ALL who showed up to celebrate with us! The farewell party was a huge success. Our final classes were so special🙏I am so grateful for every moment.
We are so fortunate to have had this space to practice, immerse, and float in all these years. May we all remember that the peace we have cultivated in this studio is accessible anywhere, anytime...simply by following our breath!
Thank you again for all of your support and encouragement. I look forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks! Cheers to new beginnings!
