I'll be teaching at West End Yoga this Sunday for a special gratitude yoga practice!

If you want a moment to slow down, appreciate your body in this season, and learn to notice all that is good - register or come by this Sunday!

The class is at 10:30am this Sunday, November 13.

You will leave with a little more joy and grace that will carry you through the Thanksgiving weeks ahead.

Surreal to say tomorrow is my last Sunday morning class before our lives change to meet the little precious life growing within me. (And due to winter weather, this picture from last week's class was my last in studio until who knows when.)

This whole season has been filled with so many gifts and blessings and feelings of excitement and the surreal feeling of the unknown.

Due to my personality, I have read all. the. things. 😊 I'm as prepared as I could be. And yet walking into a new season, all I can do is open the door and walk through to truly live and love and learn what it is like.

So if you've wondered where I've been, whelp I've been over here, modifying poses to make space for this growing womb, teaching classes to wonderful people. Savoring each one knowing it's a chapter of my life that will start anew in the near future. I've been camped out reading baby books. Nesting our house with my husband into a space ready to welcome a new life. And carrying this miracle of a whole person growing and moving around in my belly everywhere I go.

Thank you to each and every person who has journeyed with me over the past few years at West End Yoga] and my home and the lovely 55+ neighborhood as we have strengthened and stretched our bodies & spirits together. Thank you to West End Yoga] for allowing me to space to care for such a wonderful community. And thank you to all who have joined me virtually online near and far welcoming me into your home to guide and help align your body and spirit.

I'm Excited to open the pages of this new chapter ahead and see where guiding and caring for my body alongside others turns out to be.

Until then, love your whole self. Listen to your body. Care for what he or she needs. Respond with grace and kindness to you and all. And allow yourself to walk through the doors of whatever season lies ahead for you.

Can't wait to see you on the otherside of this page ♥️🥰🙏

Grace, peace & Namaste 🙏

It's been awhile since I've posted, and truly that's because I've been enjoying life in the present.

Summer. People. New sights. All worth soaking in.

Screens and social are great in many ways of connection and if you curate them for your increased well being (like following those few that make you feel even better about your life and removing any that lessen your joy or peace.)

So here's a little note to say I'm here. I'm teaching. And I hope you are well - doing all you can to cultivate a life of enjoying the real people you're with (and think online that will add to your life, not detract).

With that starting August 10 I'll be teaching an additional weekly class - Tuesdays at 9am at Village Grande Clubhouse - 1818 Pool Forge Lancaster PA 17601
All are welcome. This is a lovely 55+ neighborhood - so if you're one to enjoy seeing options for each pose while you flow at your own pace to love and care for the changing you in each day... Then this is a great fit. Just $8 cash or buy two for $15.

Remember this life, this summer, it's yours. And it's the only one you'll live like it. Just like your breath, each one brand new - never lived before or again. So may you find ways to soak in what brings you life and curate the rest to allow you to live in ways that support your well being, growth and if you set them, goals.

Grace, peace & Namaste everyone 🙏

P.S. I added a screen shot of the class details for where and when I teach. Let me know if you have questions or would like to know how to join ♥️ and a few lovely views from vacation to calm your spirits as your scroll

Happy Friday and to the start of your weekend.

No matter what this week has held for you or what is on your weekend and beyond horizon, now is a great time to pause and check in.

How are you?

Scan down your body gently in your awareness. What are you carrying? What feels tight? Relaxed? Healthy? At ease? Does anything want strengthened? Rested?

Simply ask, then listen.

Your body is amazing. It is filled with wisdom. It will tell you when it's hungry, thirsty, longing for touch, for play, for rest, for challenge and so much more.

If perhaps you've spent years thinking your way through your physical life (I.e. Thinking about and choosing based on what you thought you "should" eat, "should" do, "should wear"....) this relationship with our body may just need a little extra time to uncover. Your body's wonderful voice is still there! All it takes is frequent pauses followed by listening. Little by little your mystical and powerful relationship with yourself will be stronger than you've known before.

So how about it? Restart now to rebuild that beautiful relationship with your own body and inner voice ♥️

You're invited to join me this weekend if your body and spirit are saying "yes please!" To a little movement 🙌

Saturday 9am Barre Yoga in person or online - simply DM me that you'd like to join and I'll send you the secret info!! This class is great if you're looking to get stronger, more in touch with your body's capabilities and community and connection with other women.

Sunday - Yoga at 10:30am downtown - register on their website or just show up! Virtual and in person options. This class is great if you're looking to Recenter, to care for any part of your while being, and to get more in touch with and strengthen your alignment 🙏

Hope you're feel stronger simply by checking in for your self-care pause.

And super hope I'll see you soon 🙌

I'm always here for you. Seriously. DM me or comment any time with questions about wellbeing, practice, mindfulness or life.

Grace, peace and namaste 🙏

It's a hot one here in and if you're like most of us, it's feeling like we made it to Summer.

Whether summer is your favorite season or least, it is a new season. It calls for new routines - new clothing, new rituals of longer days and brighter mornings, new schedules and demands with children on break....

With all of this new, all of this change, have you paused and asked yourself what you're longing for for this season? This once in a life time summer of '21?

With an intentional pause, a mindfully asked question, and a moment to listen in deep, you can reset your focus, redirect your path, and make this summer and each new day the most beneficial it can be for you.

So what are you longing for? What do you want from and for this season?

May we all pause, reflect and renew.

Grace, peace and namaste 🙏

Want to take this practice deeper? Come to today at 10:30am for a Yoga Alignment flow I will teach and give you space to process these questions while strengthening and realigning your body and spirit.

All are welcome ♥️

Ah Summer. It feels like a final exhale and invitation to relax.

Excited to really get into teaching in person where there is so much more opportunity for joy and going deeper with your practice - it helps cut the clutter of distractions while also added the element of community.

So if you're feeling the need to strengthen your body and your calm - you're invited to join this weekend's offerings:

Saturday - 9am - Barre Yoga - Just DM me for the location and info to join! This is an outdoor class and all by donation.

Sunday - 10:30am - Physical & Spiritual Alignment Yoga - Register for in-studio OR virtual on https://www.westendyogastudio.com/ This class is an excellent weekly reset to center yourself, let go of what is no longer serving you and develop what you want to cultivate in your body and spirit.

Hope you can make it to one or both to nourish, renew, strengthen and rest.

Questions? Reach out anytime! I'm here to talk all things Barre, Yoga, Wellbeing & Spirit.

Grace, Peace & Namaste 🙏

Welcome to the unofficial start of Summer!!

How are you spending this weekend? And beyond these next 3+ days... how would you like to spend your Summer?

When you get to the end of these next three months, what would have happened that would lead to you feeling so grateful for how you spent your time?
So energized for the fall ahead knowing you soaked in or spent your days in a satisfying way?
Was there something physical you're so grateful you practice regularly?
People you spent time with?
Ways in which you engaged your moments more fully present or aware?

Only you can answer these. And only you know what will feel so very good to you come August or September.

And you know what? It's not to late. It's never to late. And best yet, it's just the brink of creating the practices, setting the visions, laying the groundwork for creating the life you want this Summer.

Goal setting or creating a life you love doesn't have to be as challenging as I always thought it was. No. Instead it's in the frequent re-memberings. Rememembering what I'd love to create. Remembering what makes me feel fulfilled. Remembering what I am actually longing to do with my life.

And that lofting remembering is simply realized by a frequent pause starting a brink of something like this.

So are you with me? Are you in to pause? To ask your spirit what would be fulfilling, meaningful, memorable, nourishing to your wholest being this Summer?

Let's do it. Don't let these months FLY BY like they always do without your longings for them realized. Now is the time to set your vision. Every moment after a time to re-remember it.

You got this. Bring on Summer!!

Is movement and connection a part of your Summer vision? Barre Yoga I teach on Saturdays at 9am would be a great fit. This class I teach online (DM me for the link to access) and in-person in Lancaster, PA (again DM me for the info). This class is purely a love offering - donate as much as you can or like in person or on venmo!

Is creating more self-awareness, presence, savoring your moments, or whole well-being a part of your Summer vision? Then Sunday 10:30am Yoga would be an awesome addition to your weeks when you're able. Register on https://www.westendyogastudio.com/ or just show up!

This Monday!!! Special ONE TIME class where I'll be teaching in Buchanon Park in Lancaster, PA and guiding your through this Summer vision casting as well as working your whole body - I'll be mixing in a bit of Pilates & Barre to get your energy up and excited for the Summer ahead!! Register on https://www.westendyogastudio.com/ or just show up Live!! 9:30am Monday Memorial Day

Can't wait to flow with you when you connect and even more so see what you do with your Summer.

Grace, Peace & Namaste Friends 🙏

Holiday Class!! This Monday join me for a morning flow in Buchanan Park for all to help you set your intention for Summer and get your energy up!

Join me at 9:30am by the Rose garden.
You can register : https://www.wellnessliving.com/rs/event/west_end_yoga1?k_class=305602&k_class_tab=29429

We will begin by envisioning ourselves at the end of our Summer... if you just lived this Summer, what would you have done differently? What would leave you feeling so grateful for what you chose to fit in and what you chose to let go of for the season? Did you go where you wanted? Play like you wanted? Enjoy the outdoors or indoors as you wanted? Treat your body like you wanted?
That future envisioning can do WONDERS for aligning your life towards the best version for your well-being that it can be.

Then we will FLOW! Talk about excitement for Summer. I will be mixing a little Barre (no equipment or experience required) and pilates into our Summer Yoga practice to get our energy up, strengthen & elongate our muscles all while learning to appreciate the very skin we are in.

You are Summer ready. Trust me. You never need to you change yourself to live you life. But we can learn to love our skin, our body and enjoy what movement feels like - unlocking the already great experience we have in front of us each and every day we are given.

Sound like a fun time?! Then I hope to see you there!
