I hope you all had a great week. I am realizing I am sending this out on Sept 11th at 9:00am which is the time 22 years ago when we experienced a national tragedy. I just want to take a moment to honor that suffering.  This past week I shared with students that a couple…

Happy Labor Day weekend! It feels so good to be back teaching my full schedule. I am very blessed to love teaching so much after almost 20 years! My daughter is a reminder of how long I have been teaching because she was 9 months old when I completed my first teacher training and began teaching. Last weekend…

I hope you all had a great week. The universe is always sending us messages…. often right when we need them. However, we have to be paying attention in order to receive them. That is the power of mindfulness. So, when I saw this little parable in my inbox from a friend last week I am…

Summer is winding down but it is still VERY hot here in Florida. As a result I definitely haven’t been running as much or as long as I would like. I have developed a routine for myself that includes stopping two thirds of the way through my run at my neighborhood gym to do a few…

I hope you are all well. It has been a busy, fun and exciting couple of weeks for me with special visitors (my god daughter and her parents), a trip to Disney World and then to Mallorca, Spain.  When we step out of our normal routine it is interesting what can happen. For myself, I…

Happy August! We are back in Florida and it is definitely hot! I very much enjoyed my last two weeks in the northeast and I LOVED seeing some of my old students and teaching a class at Hastings Yoga.  My message was my favorite quote and I shared how I saw this play out in both…

I hope you are all well. We had a great family vacation and I was genuinely happy to be back teaching students this week.  A couple of weeks ago my 4 1/2 year old god daughter Leah and her parents came to visit. It was very special time and I loved seeing the world through her eyes for…

Happy July! I hope summer is in full swing for all of you. I am still adjusting to never-ending summer here and I find myself looking at the calendar incredulously at times. I have been having a few conversations with folks close to me lately about feeling stuck or unmotivated and it reminds me of a…

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer so far. In my last newsletter I shared the struggle I was having with my “monkey mind” that wouldn’t settle down. This is often a symptom of what is called “living in a trance”.  Living in trance means that we are not fully present in our lives and we each…
