New Blog Post: Notice

Dear Friends,

It’s that time of year, that time that, if we choose to notice, we can see the change happening in the world around us on the daily…almost minute by minute. The leaves are changing colors, they’re falling and floating down to the earth below.

It’s a slow change, this time of the season. But with that slow change is the anticipation that soon these changes around us will be fast, constant, and abundant.

I was out walking with a friend this past week when I saw this small but beautiful burst of color amidst all the green around it, a beautiful reminder that while changes often start small, they also often grow.

This week, in this season of change, I wonder how it would feel to slow down, and in that slowing, to notice a little more beauty around us as we walk through this life.

Have an amazing week, my friend.

Love
Krista

New Blog Post: Unavoidable

Dear Friends,

It was a beautiful upper 60’s low 70’s day earlier this week when I realized I had this big hole in my day. One client early in the afternoon, a couple of clients out of town, and one client, who happened to live very close to the Potomac River, later in the afternoon and on toward evening.

Seeing as the day was beautiful, and I had the time, I decided to spend it paddling around the Potomac for a while. I put in at Fletchers Cove and paddled up and down the river for the time that I had on this beautiful day with a stunningly blue sky.

The trees were still fully green, but it was that weathered look that always comes at the end of the season, when they have yet to turn beautiful colors, but they’re on the cusp. Instead of that rich green of the summer, the trees are moving on toward brown.

It was an easy and relaxing afternoon paddle…but one thing I was noticing as I moved through the river was the unavoidable sound of traffic. The George Washington Parkway parallels the river, and the sound of cars on the parkway was pretty near constant. Reagan National Airport’s flight pattern flew directly over the river from where I was, and the airplanes flew overhead at a regular pace. There was peace on the river, but even amidst the peace there was also unavoidable noise.

There are times when we have to find the peace in our lives even amidst the unavoidable noise that surrounds us. I hope, this week, you can breathe a little deeper and find peace amidst the inevitable noise.

Love
Krista

New Blog Post: 10,029

Dear Friends,

A few weeks ago I had the amazing privilege of taking a group of folks to Switzerland to spend a week in the beautiful Upper Engadin Valley. We had a fabulous week full of amazing adventures, great food and wonderful connection.

We took trains, funiculars, gondolas, chair lifts, and buses. We hiked panoramic trails with views of multiple beautiful glaciers. Some of us soaked in hot tubs with views of said glaciers. We hiked to the top of peaks and stretched ourselves both mentally and physically.

On one of our off days with no planned activities other than our morning yoga session, a student and I took the local bus to a small town, walked to a gondola, rode that to a chair lift, rode that to yet another gondola, and found ourselves at the very top of Piz Nair, a 10,026 foot peak overlooking the beautiful lake at St. Moritz. We could see glaciers across from us, we could see the funicular we had taken up and the panoramic trail we had walked, and the chairlift we had taken down the mountain a couple days prior far across the valley from us.

We didn’t hike to the top of the mountain that day…we were given a lift, well several different lifts if we’re splitting hairs here.

We all travel different journeys as we walk through this life. I hope you’re able to celebrate that journey, whatever it may look like.

Have an amazing week.

Love
Krista

New Blog Post: Coming to Change

Dear Friends,

I talked last week about that late summer heaviness, and the anxiousness we start feeling for change in our lives.

One of the things I love about living in a place with genuine seasons is that concrete change we have in our year. Season by season goes by and we can see and feel the change in the world around us.

Sometimes that change happens little by little. The tree next door, it’s mostly green, but there are dapples of color spread throughout the branches, teasing a change that is coming. It might take a little white, but it’s on the way.

Sometimes that change happens all at once, and we’re left grappling with the suddenness of the change.

But one thing’s for certain, change will come.

My dear friends, if you’re feeling anxious for a change I hope you can see the beauty in the journey, and notice the small changes along the way.

Have an amazing week.

Love
Krista

New Blog Post: Late Summer Heaviness

Dear Friends,

The late-summer heaviness abounds around here…you know the kind where you’re anxious for a change in the weather, but the mosquitoes are still out in force and the air is still heavy with humidity. Perhaps by the time this gets to you that will have changed.

A few weeks ago a couple students and I went on a little hike in the park. It was hot in our area that week…really hot, and while Friday wasn’t the hottest of days of the week, it was plenty warm. And yet, in the park surrounded by nature instead of cement, with the trees shading our walk, things were cooler, they were more sustainable, they were significantly more pleasant. Perhaps not perfect, but certainly not dreadful.

I was thinking about that anxiousness for change we often experience. I was wondering how it might feel if we saw that anxiousness, and recognized it for what it is, but also practiced finding contentment in the here and now, even if the here and now isn’t the most comfortable space. Perhaps we can begin to see and notice the spaces that are more pleasant in our lives even when we deeply want change.

My dear friend, I hope you can find something a little more sustainable, a little more pleasant, even if the desire for change is at the forefront of your heart.

Have an amazing week.

Love
Krista

A wildly beautiful day in a wildly beautiful place!!!! Rode up Muottas Muragl on a funicular, hiked across the mountain, and rode down on a chairlift. Amazing.

New Blog Post: Shift in Perspective

Dear Friends,

September of 2023 I had the privilege of leading a group to a little town called Akureyri in Northern Iceland for a retreat. The magic of that place is palpable…from the rainbows we saw just about every day of our trip, to the stories our host Andreas told us of elves and trolls, to the dramatic landscape and waterfalls and soaks in mineral pools, magic abounded.

As I was sitting in a mineral pool overlooking the ocean, a stone's throw from the Arctic circle on my birthday I had this sudden realization that, as far as retreats go, Andreas built the type of retreat I wanted to emulate going forward.

Prior to that, the couple of overseas retreats I had led and a heavy emphasis on classes throughout the day…but I didn’t want that. I wanted the emphasis to be on the travel, the adventure, the play, seeing and experiencing new things…with the movement as a beautiful added bonus.

It’s not that I was doing it wrong before, but there was a sudden realization of what fit and felt better for me specifically.

That retreat changed the way I did things moving forward in ways that I love.

My dear friend, I hope we can be open to the change that life sometimes brings our way, we can see the beauty in it, we can learn from it, and we can integrate it into our lives.

Have an amazing week, my friend.

Love
Krista

Join me for a spectacular retreat to North Iceland! Just a few degrees from the arctic circle, this island of fire and ice is the perfect backdrop to recharge, reset and recalibrate with the energies of the primal earth and geothermal waters.
Always magical, North Iceland in autumn boasts glorious color, milder weather, plenty of daylight, fewer tourists, and perhaps even a glimpse of the Northern Lights.
Each morning we will have lead an inclusive, all-levels yoga and movement class followed by afternoon adventures exploring the landscapes of the North. You’ll visit power places of Iceland, wander the other-wordly lava landscapes, soak in the volcanically heated mineral hot springs, marvel at the majestic waterfalls and more!

This 8 day, 7 night retreat will help you relax, feel rejuvenated, and reconnect with your spirit of adventure.

New Blog Post: Last Christmas

Dear Friends,

Last Christmas day I flew across the country in my Christmas onesie pj’s with a bow attached to the front and my Santa hat to surprise my parents and my sister. As I sprinted across the Denver Airport sweating through said onesie pj’s, I wondered if I was going to get stuck in the Denver Airport on Christmas day, with only two full days + some extra planned for my trip, and with no more flights leaving for my sister's small town until a few days later.

Spoiler alert: I made my flight...although not without regret for the clothing choices of the now sweated-through Christmas onesie pj’s (and as an aside to note for the future, onesies are not great in airplane bathrooms).

The drama was all worth it for the look on my mom and dad’s faces when I walked into that room and yelled “surprise!”

We spent a long weekend together exploring my sister and brother-in-law’s adorable town, and at the end of the weekend we all piled into my sister’s minivan, went to the tiny airport, watched a beautiful sunset from the terminal, hugged goodbye and off I went, back across the country.

I’ve been thinking about that trip a lot lately. While I knew it had been a long time since I’d been able to have Christmas with my folks, I had no way of knowing that last Christmas would be my dad’s last Christmas on earth, and I am so very grateful that I got to spend that day and that weekend with him, sweaty pj’s and all.

My dear friend, I hope, as we move through life, that we find a little more time and space to spend time with and cherish the people we love.

Have an amazing week.

Love
Krista

New Blog Post: Creative Thinking

Dear Friends,

Gardening has always been one of those activities I feel like I should enjoy, but in reality I don’t really. I sure do appreciate a beautiful garden, but do I have one myself? No, no I do not.

I was with a client the other day, she needed to get some gardening done and it was her hour to spend, so that’s exactly what we did. I was having a great time digging holes and chatting, and as I did, I was thinking, it’s not that I dislike gardening, it’s that I don’t have time in my life for it. So instead of gardening feeling like a relaxing activity and something I look forward to, it’s a burden and a thing on the list of things that I need to get done.

But this particular gardening session was nothing like that…because it wasn’t my garden and it wasn’t my time, it was someone else's garden and someone else’s time, and what a delightful time it was.

Later that day I was helping a client think through how to keep showing up to her movement practice even though her life situation has shifted a bit…and, my friend, we were able to reframe some thinking and figure out spaces and we found a way forward even in a changed situation.

Sometimes it takes some creative thinking to figure out ways to show up for areas in our lives that perhaps might feel like a burden, or areas that we no longer have the same time or space that we used to. But I think, with a willingness to expand our thinking and think creatively we can continue to show up for those areas in life that might sometimes feel necessary, but not exactly desired.

I hope you have an amazing week, my friend.

Love
Krista
