Our spring program includes:

🌼 twice weekly virtual classes to balance both sides of the wellness coin with strength + balance focus on Tuesdays and flexibility + relaxation focus on Thursdays


🌼 on demand "mini" classes that gradually build strength and mobility from early spring to end of the season - so you can arrive at the first day of summer really ready to garden, hike, bike, swim, travel... pain free! (This is a whole new kind of "summer body", my friend)

🌼 a complimentary 1:1 wellness coaching session (either in-person in Sumner or online)

🌼 plus additional downloadable bonus content to help you along your wellness journey

🌼 all in our virtual studio so you can take care of you from the cozy comfort of home (and save on the gas money this spring 🙃)

The entire program is just $120, but you can try all that out for FREE with a 7 day trial.

Took my own advice there through the end of winter and gave myself a solid break from Social while taking care of myself, my clients, and my family... So good to have a little breathing room, and now I'm back in action and excited for all the fun spring things happening!

Your Health & Wellness Tip of the Week:
(a hot tip from a Yoga Therapist who coaches folks along their wellness journey every day - this one was the best advice I'd ever received and so I pass it along often!)

If you've been cruising along on your wellness routine for the new year, but now are hitting a plateau, feeling burdened or overwhelmed by your goals, or running into too many obstacles lately because real life seems to be thwarting your grand plans... if you are starting to feel discouraged and you're ready to throw up your hands...

Don't quit. Instead, give yourself permission to pause and take a break. For the moment, or the day, or the whole weekend... Pause a beat to reset.

Shake things up like an Etch A Sketch!

And when you start again, know that you won't be starting from scratch. You'll be starting from experience, picking up where you left off before things went sideways.

Take good care of you and be well... whether you are working at it, or taking a break for a hot second. 💕 Margo

Nutrition is foundational to real self-care and healing. While I'm happy to coach and encourage clients toward nutrition habits that align with your wellness goals, I'm always going to also encourage folks to consult with experts in the field of nutrition.

This is one of the experts I highly recommend for those needing more support with their nutrition specifically 👇

After several days out of the office - thanks to the latest respiratory virus going around 😕 -  it felt really good to be back on the mat with everyone in our Winter Yoga Membership program tonight!

This big wide world may feel heavy. It may be heartbreaking. Provoking. Infuriating. Exhausting... I hope you gift yourself moments of a commercial break from the rest of the world so that you can also feel grounded. Hopeful. Quiet. Peaceful. Resilient, too.

My self-care challenge for you this week may be the biggest challenge yet for 2026: Take 5 minutes at the top of the hour to step away from your desk, turn off the news, set down your phone, and pause your worrying mind to do something mundane - for just *five minutes*. Brew a cup of tea. Water that neglected houseplant. Fold laundry. Wash your face. Walk to the corner and back...

Do something that requires you to get up and move, but doesn't require huge effort, critical thinking, or tough decision making. The mind and the rest of your senses can really benefit from that five minute commercial break.

Rinse and repeat as many hours of the day as you need, unapologetically. And be well (or as well as you can be given the circumstances). 💕 Margo

Your Health & Wellness Tip of the Week:
(a hot tip from a Yoga Therapist who coaches folks along their wellness journey every day - and this one is fundamental to successful wellness goals, my friends!)

Pause a beat and consider, what would you do if you weren't held back by arthritis flares, or daily mid-afternoon brain fog, or feeling miserable thanks to sciatica, or overwhelming grief that just won't seem to pass, or... [insert your own chronic pain or stress point here]...? I mean, really, picture it clearly. What will you do with this one wild and precious life when you reach your wellness goals and aren't held back by chronic pain or stress?

When we can clearly imagine what we would *be able to do* and how we would *feel* when we reach our wellness goals, then we have found the fundamental key to the best motivator there is.

Not the "I should..." Not the "I really just gotta..." Not the "It'd be nice ta..." Those sentiments set us up for guilt trips, and discouragement, and overwhelm for ourselves. Because real life inevitably interrupts perfect plans or reveals that fads and trends in wellness don't actually bring meaningful results.

Would you go out hiking?

Would you take up dancing?

Would you feel like spending more time with friends or family?

I do a little (and sometimes it's a VERY little - like ten minutes worth of) yoga and mediation every day. I do it so that I can go on a trail ride with my daughter without my old hip injury being set afire. I do it so that I can work in my garden without throwing out my back. I do it so that I can spend all week homeschooling my kiddos AND have energy + patience leftover to still enjoy their company on the weekend!

And it is because I know my "why" that it is easy for me to fit a little self-care into my full days. This is the secret to turning motivation into sheer determination.

So, I share this little secret with you, and wish you all the determination you need to be well, dear friends! 💕 Margo
