What if you could find a quiet place for your mind to rest, here and now?

This September, I’m leading Rooted in the Heart, a 12-day Grounding Meditation Journey designed to help you slow down, settle inward, and explore the heart as a deeper center within yourself.

Each morning, we’ll explore a different facet of the heart through brief embodied contemplations inspired by the natural world, gradually moving through earth, roots, water, trees, breath, sunlight, flowers, fruit, and seed.

🌿 September 19–30
♡ 15 minutes each morning
♡ Live on Zoom at 8:30am Pacific
♡ Same-day replays
♡ All experience levels welcome

If you’ve been longing to spend a little less time caught in your head and cultivate a deeper connection with your heart, I’d love to have you join us.

Registration is now open. Link in bio.

Did you miss last week's newsletter? It's up on my website.

I often say that yoga is a laboratory.More specifically, it is a laboratory for attention.Most of us were taught that paying attention means concentrating. We narrow our focus, try harder, and mentally grip whatever is in front of us. There are certainly moments when that kind of effort is useful. D...

After 10 years of studio ownership, one of the things that surprised me most was that students felt they could concentrate better and respect their own needs better.

Inevitably, practicing in a room next to others invites comparison and we might push ourselves or talk negatively to ourselves if we perceive others “doing better” than us.

So counterintuitively, practicing yoga at home I think can sometimes be safer for people because they give themselves permission to listen to their body in a more honest way.

In yoga philosophy, there is a concept called tapas. It is often translated as discipline, but I think a more human way to understand it is as the willingness to keep returning to what nourishes us.

Not through force or perfection. Through relationship.

Little by little, practice becomes less about motivation and more about staying connected to ourselves. And that influences the quality of our attention, our nervous system, our relationships, and the overall tone of how we move through the day.

This is part of what the Grounding Circle offers. A simple structure for returning again and again to what helps us feel more steady, clear, and resourced.

Staying connected to ourselves influences the quality of our attention, our nervous system, our relationships, and the overall tone of how we move through the day.

🙏

Our month-long Grounding Circle begins Monday, June 1. We meet live three mornings a week for short, simple grounding practices designed for real life.

Join live if you can, or practice later from the recording delivered directly to your inbox the same day.

Built-in accountability. Potent and accessible practices. Minimal excuses.

I’d love to have you with us.

There are times in my practice when people are working through similar things—grief, physical healing, big life transitions.

Right now, I’m seeing more and more women who are at the start of a new chapter.

They’re ready for something to shift, but finding themselves caught in familiar loops of self-doubt, overthinking, or indecision.

In response to this, I’ve been working in a slightly different way in my one-on-one sessions—and the results have been surprisingly immediate.

One woman came in caught in self-doubt and negative inner dialogue. The next day, she gave a public talk with a sense of ease she hadn’t felt in years.

Another was completely stuck in a major life transition. Within an hour, she made several clear decisions that had been weighing on her for weeks.

What I’ve found is that insight alone doesn’t always create change.

Often, clarity begins to emerge when we include the body—working with awareness, sensation, and a sense of internal steadiness.

Because this has been so effective, I’m opening a few Embodied Clarity Sessions in May.

These are focused, one-hour sessions to help you move through a specific place where you feel stuck.

If something in your life feels ready to move, you’re welcome to message me.

Ever wish you could hit the pause button on your day?

I'd love to share my favorite pause practices to help you calm your nervous system, and come back to center in just a few minutes.

You can start right using them right away. No mat. No studio. No perfect quiet place. Just how you are.

Even after 30 years of practice I am pleasantly surprised every single time I do one of these things. Whether it's 5 breaths or 5 minutes, the choice to take time to reset is powerful and the results are immediate.

Let me know if the comments or dm and I'll send this resource your way. (Feel free to share!)

Arrived to NC just as the trees were pushing their new leaves out. 🌱

Butterflies, rainbows and waterfalls in every direction although I don’t have photos of those :) I actually left my phone at home on purpose most days so I could just soak it all in.

I’ve chased waterfalls all over the world and this is one of my favorites for many reasons!

If you ever get a chance, make your way here. These fall run big all year round due to some of the highest annual rainfall in the continental US!
