Shine Yoga Mission: meet people where they are & move with them to better wellbeing through movement and breath

At Shine Yoga, we promote peace and wellbeing by preparing the body with the practice of asanas, healing the body with the power of our own energy, quieting the mental clutter with breathing and meditation, and carrying our calm confidence off the mat into our daily lives.

Soul Map Makerspace at the Shine Shala

This isn’t about cutting perfect pictures or setting rigid goals.
It’s about recalibrating your inner compass.

We’ll shake out the noise, drop into a grounding meditation, and let your intuition lead as you create a Soul Map - a visual guide for what you’re ready to notice, nurture, and move toward in the year ahead.

Part science (hello, brain + focus), part magic (trusting what calls to you), and fully supported inside the Shine Shala.
Come map the direction your future self is already walking toward.

Sometimes I wish I could work this fast…
Wrap it. Finish it. Done. ✔️
One day. One project. Done. ✔️

But I’m grateful life doesn’t actually move at the speed of a time lapse—and occasionally asks us to slow down even more.

Yesterday and today were both full, happy days - creating homemade Christmas cards, wrapping, baking my favorite pie, sharing space with so many people we love (and we aren’t done yet!).
Days like these remind me why intentional creativity matters so much.

Vision board workshops aren’t just “arts and crafts.”
They’re a science-backed pause - a way to engage your brain, your nervous system, and your intuition at the same time. When your hands are busy cutting, gluing, and arranging, your mind softens. Your defenses drop. Clarity sneaks in. This is how we access what actually matters - not through hustle, but through presence.

Think of it as an intentional creative date with God / Source / the Universe - where you stop performing, stop striving, and listen.
If you’ve been feeling busy but oddly disconnected, this isn’t optional self-care. This is recalibration.

If something in you is craving direction, meaning, or a reset you can feel in your body—this is where you need to be. We don’t rush this. We don’t outsource it.
We gather. We create. We remember what we’re moving toward - together. You know you feel the pull - don’t overthink it. Join us on Sunday!!

There’s something about morning light.
The way it softens everything.
The way it makes even the mess feel beautiful. I love these morning moments in the quiet.

I’m sitting here feeling full already—full of gratitude for a big family that will gather here, for laughter that hasn’t happened yet, for the warmth of being together.

This is what yoga feels like to me.
Not perfection.
Not quiet all the time.
But presence. Warmth. Room to breathe—exactly as you are.

If you’re craving moments like this—slow, grounded, centered—know that you are always welcome at Shine. You don’t have to be perfect. This is what we practice together, every time we come to the mat.
May you give yourself the gift of quiet over the next few days. Peace is what I wish for you.
Blessings and Merry Christmas from our family to yours.

✨ Last-Minute Gift Finds at Shine Yoga ✨

I was in the studio today and had one of those quiet moments where I realized how many really lovely, gift-worthy things we still have tucked around Shine.

If you’re still looking for a few meaningful, unique gifts (or something cozy for yourself), I have a small but really special retail collection at Shine that I’d love to re-home this week.

Our retail space is intentionally tiny — but everything in it is thoughtful, beautiful, and meant to be used, not just wrapped. 🤍

Here’s what’s currently available:

Kindness Bucket List – Scratch-Off Cards • $65
A favorite for families, friends, or anyone who loves intention + play

Luminary Lantern Sets (holiday designs and more) • $12
Perfect for centerpieces, porches, or adding a soft glow to winter evenings
• Set of 4
• Tea lights included
• Normally $15, offering them at $12 as a little seasonal thank-you

Star Lanterns • $20
Lovely for a meditation corner, bedroom, or cozy ambient lighting
• Includes light kit

Adventure Challenge Books for Couples
Heads-up: these won’t arrive before Christmas, but they’re coming shortly after!
• A few different versions

• Great “we’ll do this together” gift to look forward to in the new year

If you’d like to grab anything, just message me and we’ll set up a quick pickup at the studio tomorrow or Wednesday.

Inventory is limited, so first come! And I'm happy to answer questions.
Thank you for supporting our little studio in the busiest season of the year!

Step out of the noise of the season and into an evening of calm, clarity, and deep rest.
This Winter Solstice Mini-Retreat invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with your inner wisdom — the quiet place where peace and possibility begin.
Through gentle movement, intentional stillness, subtle energetic support, and a simple creative ritual, you’ll be guided to release what has grown heavy and welcome the return of light.
Shared in community and closed with solstice cocoa or a tahini latte.

✨ Giving Tuesday Spotlight: The Apricity Hope Project ✨

Today feels like the right moment to pause and honor something bigger than all of us.

Many of you know my friend Susan — we were scheduled to host a book signing and movement workshop this Thursday. We’ve cancelled the event because her son Benji, who lives with mitochondrial disease, is very sick right now. Please keep their family in your thoughts. 💛

In the spirit of Giving Tuesday, I want to shine a light on the nonprofit she founded: The Apricity Hope Project.
Apricity means “the warmth of the sun in winter,” and that’s exactly what this organization brings to caregivers of medically complex children and families navigating rare diseases.

Their mission is to support the whole caregiver — mind, body, and spirit — through:
✨ Restorative retreats (where I’m honored to offer yoga + sound healing)
✨ Community meet-ups
✨ Caregiver packages + hospital go-bags
✨ A powerful storytelling podcast
✨ Resources so no caregiver ever feels alone in the hardest seasons

This work was inspired by Susan’s daughter, Lorelei, and continues today as a legacy of love, hope, and resilience.

If your heart feels pulled, I’ll place the donation link in the comments.
You can also find the link to Live Like Lorelei, Susan’s beautiful book honoring her daughter’s life and spirit.

Thank you for joining me in wrapping this family — and all families walking this path — in a little more apricity today. ☀️💛
