Hello, friends. Hope you're finding a way to stay cool in this Texas heat.

See you next week and always feel free to send a message if you're interested in our Monday virtual fundraiser class. All my best.

Hi, friends. Hope this finds you healthy and happy.

, a special day of giving, is tomorrow. As you likely know, I’m a passionate supporter of the American Heart Association and the great work we do.

Beyond our core mission, we are addressing the COVID-19 pandemic by fast-tracking the funding of innovative research to better understand COVID-19 and its interaction with cardiovascular disease. We are training health care workers on the front line and advocating to provide families greater access to care.

We will hold a free yoga class this evening via Zoom.
Please consider making a special gift to the American Heart Association and join the fight against COVID-19 during this extraordinary time. You can do that via my own Heart Walk page to be found here. https://www2.heart.org/site/TR/HeartWalk/SWA-SouthWestAffiliate?px=2144337&pg=personal&fr_id=5368

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your generosity to this important cause. And thank you for helping to honor the memory of our mother, Kay Ellen Murphy.

If you'd like to learn more about the Zoom yoga class tonight at 6 PM, private message me with your first/last name and email and I'll include you in the meeting invitation.

Take care and be well. Namaste.

The Heart Walk is the American Heart Association's premiere event for raising funds to save lives from USA's #1 and #5 killers - heart disease and stroke.

Hello friends. Wanted to make you aware in-person classes are cancelled until May 1. That could be extended but we will see. In these tough times, the Yoga Sutras give us a little help. “Vitarka badhane pratipaksha bhavanam.” Which means that when negative thoughts arise, we need to cultivate and think the opposite thoughts to take us in a more positive direction. Easier said than done. I am no poster child to be sure. The following mantra I practice almost daily in the morning. It’s my favorite. And this version in particular. I hope it helps you find some peace too. Be well and stay safe.

Hi, friends. And Happy Holidays. We are collecting toys in our yoga classes through December 18 to be distributed to rural Kaufman County children through Toys For Tots. If your finances allow, please bring an unwrapped gift with you to class. We will make sure it lands in children’s’ hands for Christmas. Thanks so much

The mission of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to less fortunate children in the community in which the campaign is conducted.
