It ended up being all about the dogs. They are the teachers and the teaching here. As always.

This comes from a long reflection and exploration of the role stillness plays in a time that requires action…

““Do you have the patience to wait till your mud settles and the water is clear? Can you remain unmoving till the right action arises…?” - Lao Tzu

Not just moving from momentum, nor from patterning, nor from reactivity, nor to avoid what is in the stillness…

If you are ready to step into stillness and move into action from there, join our Spring Retreat, March 19-25, , Isla Colón, Panamá

Retreat reprise!

Time away, time inside, time together and time moving into stillness can transform us.
It transformed this group into family on our Yucatan retreat last summer.

I was so charmed to be asked to offer a special class for the Portland locals here in town last week. The joy they have at being together, the deep connection to their practice, and the profound commitment they each hold to their continuing study on and off the mat is such a gift to perceive.

We talked about the impetus for transformation - and how retreat offers a window, a map, an imprint for that shift into greater alignment and resonance.

Make your own map this March in Bocas del Toro, Panama. Off the beaten path; on the path of the heart.

Proud mama.

It may still be a struggle sometimes to get them to do dishes, but they know what’s important to the world, and to them. Glad to walk in the rain with them and a few hundred others today in solidarity with Minneapolis and the abolition of ICE.

This is where the yoga begins. In standing for these principles of non-harming, truthfulness, non-stealing, non-greed, and energetic responsibility.

When the world feels upside down, I come back to the ground to steady my spinning mind.

When the made world feels non-sensical and cruel, I come back the steady earth beneath me.

Yoga offers tools for stabilization. Stabilization supports study of self. Study of self illuminates the world. Illumination lights the path of wise action.

So many thanks to all 52 yoginis and yogis who came together in community today to share the traditional solstice practice of 108 Sun Salutations.

We moved, breathed, and rested on behalf of our selves and each other, and for the larger human community, those beyond the studio walls.

Folks moved through ease and difficulty, through doubt and out the other side into belief, through anticipation into Presence.

To be in the flow of that breath, which became one breath, was profound and nourishing.

May we move into this new cycle with awakeness, with the balm of community, with the strength that we cultivate individually supporting also the collective.

May each of you know the deep gratitude I have to know you, to walk the path with you, and to witness your footsteps on it.

I am full of love, admiration, and gratitude.

Thank you for holding the light in you as you each do.

A scene from this summer’s solstice retreat, Parque del Jaguar, Yucatan

Pure magic. Each of these beautiful humans. Each day, each practice, each adventure. The connection was almost immediate, and the joy was contagious. We did sweet things, ate, laughed, practiced.
We chanted, laughed, ate, practiced.
We swam, cried, did things that challenged us, held each other through it, practiced, explored, ate and laughed more.
The resonance of it stays with me, keeps me believing that in times of great difficulty, the balm is in community, in connection with self and sea and land, in feeling the past and the future stretching out on both sides of our hearts, in listening deeply to those hearts, ours and each others’, in the living wisdom of the practice, breath and motion, stillness and vibration, ease and effort.

You’re invited to the next immersion: retreat registration is open for Isla Colón, Panamá, March 19-25, 2026, !
Varied pricing for individual and shared rooms. Link in bio:https://www.allegrachabayyoga.com/event-list

Together, we build the magic. You bring it back to light your heart and the world. Replenish, invigorate, restore, discover, transform.

Echo en menos los Pueblos mágicos… Pero el sentido del lugar se queda conmigo, la semilla de esa dulzura lenta todavía está viva en mis pasos.

I miss the magical Pueblos, but the sense of that place stays with me, the seed of that sweetness and slowness lives in my footsteps.

Healing happens in the slowing down. In the awareness of each step on the path.
This is why stepping away from the speed of daily living, the demands of daily life can be the opening of the path of healing, and that path leaves its footprints on your heart…

To step out of the daily hustle and grind is a privilege. To slow down, to witness the light and tend to the inner world is a gift, as well as a challenge. To bring back to daily life with you what transforms in the time away is a gift to both self and others. To carry with you and within you the invitation into a deeper intentionality, the awareness of patterns beneficial and detrimental is to carry with you the tools for change and growth, and to use that learning in service to whom and what you love - self, other, world - is why we go in search of spaces in which we move differently, see differently, feel and think with more clarity.

March retreat to Isla Colón is open. Variable pricing for shared and single rooms. Link in bio.

Each offering includes seated meditation, all-levels yoga (asana) practice, call-and-response chanting (optional), and the opportunity to check out this gorgeous garden, tended by loving hands.
Immersed in this lovely landscape, we’ll practice with the seasonal guidance of Ayurveda to bring greater balance to the internal ecology, while we immerse in and honor the external ecology and the connection between the two.
