The Art of Facing Things
This past week I definitely experienced a large wave of emotions– the “Sea of Feelings” was not calm as in the picture above. All the change and transition I have experienced in the last 6 months seemed to hit me very intensely after returning home from my retreat. Upon reflection, I realize that my retreat…
Read MoreControl Over Our Own Suffering
I am home just about a week from my retreat. I was so inspired by the amazing people that joined me this year; such powerful women with incredible energy. We laughed and danced and explored our special little island paradise. It always takes me a few days to come down from the high of the experience. I…
Read MoreI Hope You Are All Doing Well
I hope you are all doing well. It was a bit of a dramatic week last week with hurricane Ian. We are feeling very lucky that we had very little impact from the storm. My heart is breaking for those who cannot say the same. In the mindfulness community we talk a lot about being…

I hope you are all doing well. Things here are good. I am getting close to settling on a place to teach which is making me very excited to teach again. So I decided to film a short 20 minute flow and post it to my Youtube page. The link is below if you feel…

Read MoreEnd of Summer
The summer really feels like it’s ending…. well not the weather here in Florida but school is starting and I am turning my focus to my upcoming retreat in October. I am so excited to be traveling back to Thatch Caye in Belize with 17 students for a wonderful adventure. Last week I traveled very…
Read MoreSEE and BE with it all
Hi Everyone, August is here and with the heat also comes the looming end of summer. A week from today I head north to North Carolina to drop my daughter off at college for her freshman year. Just typing these words makes me choke up a bit. As many of you know, I used to…
Read MoreBloom Where I am Planted
Hi Everyone, Hi! I hope you all are having a great summer. This last month has been quite a whirlwind for my family but we are getting adjusted to our new life in a new state. This week I finally found some time for my yoga practice. It felt both strange and good to lay…
Read MoreDeviation from My Path
I hope you all are well and enjoying the beginning of summer. I am entering my last week of teaching here in Westchester. Even as I type those words I can feel my heart swell a bit. This has been and will continue (I expect for the next couple of months) to be an intense…
