After closing our studio, I opened my heart to new opportunities and ended up with an organization that is all about healing hearts!
The American Heart Association did not disappoint last night! I’m honored to be a part of the local AHA team! ♥️

Don’t tell Kyle, but a pajama clad Jen Ray actually married me first.
I’m pretty sure it was the best moment of her weekend….perhaps her life.😂
Harper did an awesome job officiating!
Thank you Kyle and for a gorgeous and heartfelt weekend!

Learn about the Root Chakra, Muladhara.
The physical identity of this chakra is
STRENGTH, STABILITY AND STEADINESS.

This chakra correlates with your overall feeling of being safe and taken care of. This course will offer meditations, yoga asanas, journaling, crystals and essential oils to help to bring balance.

When this chakra is balanced you will have: stillness, feeling of safety + security, stability, vitality, prosperity, good health, well-grounded, sense of trust in the world and the ability to relax and be still.

When it is out of balance you might experience: material fixation, sluggishness, tired, fear of change, addiction to security and rigid boundaries.

Physically you might feel disconnection from body, anxious and restless. It could be hard to settle down and focus.

Registration is very limited so enroll today to save your spot.

Journey through 7 different chakras with 7 unique classes!

During the Covid shut down, I was able to study Yoga Psychology with Yoga Teacher and Licensed Psychotherapist, Ashley Turner. I enthusiastically bring you this series of classes developed from those teachings.

Each class will be dedicated to one chakra and will give in-depth information into how that particular chakra affects your mind, body and spirit. How it correlates to different human developmental phases and how to find balance.

With more understanding of this magical, subtle and powerful system we will learn to work toward our own healing and personal development.

Well hello dear ones! Long time no see. I've been taking some respite time to recover from the loss of the studio and reignite my love for yoga. I am excited to announce that COMING SOON, we will be offering specialty classes in a NEW SPACE just a stones throw away from our former studio! These classes will be very specific and for small intimate groups.

So many things outside of our control.
How do you work with your own resistance to change?
How do you navigate your own feelings of helplessness?

My coach, Sarah Yost presented these questions and thoughts to me...

I am not entirely sure what to do, but we are going to figure it out.

What and who am I judging? Am I judging myself? What are my own opinions on this and are they facts?

What thoughts am I thinking that are making me FEEL this way?

Do I need to feel this? What is it that the feelings are trying to tell me?

Be still, dear ones. Find the grounded space within yourself.
Sometimes the right answer, is no answer.
Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti.

A tool that is so accessible and often taken for granted is the breath. We often run around like our hair is on fire and forget to stop and breath.

Next time you're feeling overwhelmed and can't focus, try this little trick.

Relax the forehead, relax your jaw. Let the shoulders sink down. Breathing in through the nose in slow inhales. Breathing out through the nose in slow exhales.

Align the breath with this mantra.....
In, I am breathing in.
Out, I am breathing out.
In, I am breathing in.
Out, I am breathing out.

Repeat as many times as you want, try to at least get 5 rounds in.

What if instead of trying to decrease our unhappiness, we worked to INCREASE our HAPPINESS?

Gay Hendricks addresses this in his book, “The Big Leap”. He says, "We all have a tendency to limit our own happiness because we don't think we deserve for things to go well all the time. These are our “upper limits”." .
Hendricks goes on to say, "That in order to get over these, we have to let ourselves feel positive feelings.".

We are exhausted.
Constantly fighting back your insecurities, self-limiting beliefs and fears every damn day. Just to wake up the next morning to do it all over again.

What if instead of constantly fighting off your anxiety, we work to INCREASE our tolerance for HAPPINESS?

When is the last time you practiced being happy? Do you even remember what happiness feels like? It's ok if you've forgotten. I once forgot too.

Hear me on this, dear one...It is your birthright to feel good. We forget that we are divine beings. You are perfect. You are a goddess. Let's work together to find that light again.
