✨ Rich, deep, meaningful… and so full of heart. ✨

This weekend at Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health was everything I love about leading a retreat—fun-filled, deeply nourishing, and brimming with community, connection, compassion, and tenderness. Watching people relax, connect with themselves, and with each other never ceases to amaze and humble me. Truly, I feel so blessed every time I do one of these. 💛

It’s a gift to witness transformation unfold naturally—through creativity, conversation, quiet moments, and shared laughter. Every retreat reminds me why this work is so important, and what a perfect place Kripalu is to hold this kind of magic. 🌿

If you’d like to join me, I’m hosting this retreat again this year, the weekend following Thanksgiving, watch for registration to open soon, and next year’s dates are already set—I’ll be revealing them very soon!

A new article from the BBC came out this week about the surprising health benefits of knitting—and honestly, many of us who craft already know this from experience.

Knitting and crocheting can help reduce stress, support focus, calm the nervous system, and create that lovely sense of rhythm that helps us slow down and settle in.

But there’s another benefit that often gets overlooked…
Community.

Crafting alongside others, sharing stories, laughter, and quiet moments together can be just as nourishing as the making itself.
That’s exactly what we create together at the Knit Pray Love Retreat—a weekend of mindful crafting, gentle movement, and genuine connection at Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health

There’s still time to join us this weekend, and there are JUST A FEW SPACES LEFT. If this kind of creative self-care speaks to you, I’d love to welcome you.

Give yourself the gift of something good for your hands, your mind, and your heart that supports your wellbeing—one stitch at a time.

And maybe the best health benefit of all…
we have each other. 🧶

From preventing nail-biting and doomscrolling all the way up to helping people addicted to drugs, knitting can have a surprisingly powerful affect on your brain.

When you realize your yarn and your project bag are basically the exact same color… 👀🧶

Like… was that intentional?
Or am I just in my full-on matchy-matchy era and not fighting it? 😂

Either way, I’m clearly committed.
This project on my needles is part of something I’m quietly excited about. It’s going to be a free pattern, and it’s connected to a new month-long experience inside the Knit Pray Love Commu-knity.
I'm calling it:
Commit to Knit: A Month of Daily Practice 🧘‍♀️🧵
(Yes. Practice. Not a challenge. We’re not white-knuckling anything around here.)
The theme for our month together is tapas — and not the delicious small plates (though I fully support those too 😌). In yoga, tapas is devotional discipline. The steady return. The choice to come back to something again and again for the sake of your own self-awareness, self-care, growth, and evolution.

This will be a gentle, grounded, and spacious.
Small daily stitches.
A simple structure.
A way to build heat and clarity through consistency.
No pressure. Just practice.

More details soon. For now, I’ll be over here… fully coordinated and pretending it was the plan all along. 😉

👀 Sneak peeks.
Little glimmers.
That quiet flutter of something special coming together. 🧶✨
The Rhythm & Rib Cowl is on my needles…�Swag bag surprises are slowly arriving… Details are unfolding one by one. 🩷

There’s something about preparing for retreat weekends that feels like tending a small fire — steady, intentional, full of heart. 🌸
March 13–15 we gather at Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health for Knit Pray Love. We’ll knit. We’ll breathe. We’ll move, stretch, do a little self massage. We’ll remember why making things with our hands feels like coming home.

‼️ Spots are limited now — and I can feel the circle forming already.

If you’ve been thinking about joining us… this might be your nudge. 💫

Each year I choose a word, it's like a seed that holds intention and meaning for me. It acts like a touchstone, a guide, a lighthouse, a north start for when I am lost, forget, get stuck, move too far away from center and source.

These words really embody my seed-word for this year.

I want to live in all these ways, in the midst of my life, in the midst of chaos, in the midst of heartbreak, in the midst of joy, in the midst of the mundane, I wanna remember how I wanna show up for myself, for the ones I love, and for the world at large.

Do you have a seed-word?
What helps you remember, realign, reconnect in times of distance, distress, and dysregulation?

✨ Happy New Year’s Eve ✨

New Year’s Eve always feels like a threshold to me—a moment to gently look back at where we’ve been and turn toward what’s ahead.

I recently listened to a podcast episode with Mel Robbins (love her!) that really inspired me. It’s all about looking back and looking forward in a practical, grounded way. I appreciate Mel because she’s thoughtful, well-resourced, and truly walks her talk—and that energy came through in this episode.

This is how I’ll be spending some of today and tomorrow: reflecting, imagining, and letting things land. If you’re interested in listening too, here’s the link:

As we move through this transition, I’m wishing you whatever feels most nourishing—time with loved ones or quiet solitude, celebration or rest, big plans or gentle moments. And of course, I hope your New Year’s Eve (or New Year’s Day) includes a little time for mindful crafting 🧶

Looking ahead, I’d love for you to join me for a special In Stitches! Gathering on Tuesday, January 6 at 6 PM EST. Join my free Commu-knity (https://bit.ly/KPLBC) and you’ll find the link under “In Stitches! Events.”

Wishing you a happy, healthy, and flourishing new year—filled with peace, love, and of course, yarn. ✨🧶

🌑✨ International Meditation Day • Solstice Magic ✨🌞

Today feels especially potent. International Meditation Day arrives on the Solstice—the turning point from the shortest, darkest day into the slow return of light here in the Northern Hemisphere.

In yoga, meditation is often described as a movement from darkness toward light, from confusion into clarity.

Knitting and crafting can hold this same quiet medicine—each stitch a breath, each row a gentle returning, each moment an invitation to be present. 🧶🧘‍♀️

As we knit, weave, or make today, may we honor this turning:�from stillness into growth,�from shadow into glow,�from intention into illumination. ✨

Happy Solstice. Happy Meditation Day. May your hands be busy and your heart be light. 💛
