Celebrate with me!

My birthday is on June 1 and this year I feel called to mark this this day in a significant way!

I’m celebrating because, despite the challenges of the last year and a half, I'm here and I’m looking forward to what’s ahead. I have been through some tough times since I got Covid in November 2020, including Post-Covid syndrome, a pulmonary embolism, and a torn retina that needed two laser surgeries to repair. Even though it wasn’t always easy, I feel blessed to have been supported on my journey and I'm looking forward to the future!

One source of support and stability throughout my health challenges has been my meditation practice. From that consistent base, I started building a steady pranayama practice as part of my blood clot recovery. Then I reincorporated short asana practices.

I found that, truly, less is more. Because doing too much could leave me exhausted and sore, I’ve learned the value of doing small things consistently. That’s the idea behind the Align & Shine morning classes.

Beginning each weekday with movement, pranayama and meditation has been so important to feeling well and being better able to handle whatever the day brings.

If the idea of doing short practices consistently appeals to you, please join me for Align and Shine. It starts on June 1 and you are invited to drop in for free at 6:00 am Mountain Time on weekday mornings.

New blog uploaded to my website!

In the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, we find this statement: “Sthira Sukham Asanam”, which is often translated as an instruction that one’s seat, or yoga posture, should be steady and comfortable. I explore what that means to us in the modern era of yoga.

New videos uploaded to YouTube!

I have been organizing my digital life over the past month and have been sorting through my old yoga videos, re-editing some of the recordings and then uploading them to YouTube. Have a look and subscribe to my channel because I will be uploading more videos soon!

And, let me know what content you would like on the channel! I’m feeling inspired and I have a lot of ideas I would like to share about asana, meditation, pranayama and functional movement.
