Next chapter of my journey on the mat 💙🙏 I received my blue belt last night at Aura Brazilian Jiu jitsu and MMA. I hope to inspire more women to step onto the mats, keep showing up, learn to defend yourself, and become a very inconvenient victim to f*ck with. If you have been thinking about it, I'm here to encourage and support you. My experience of over 15 years on the yoga mat has definitely given me a leg up, and I am SO excited to offer a new workshop "Mobility for Jiu-jitsu" on 11/21, share with a friend !

A little glimpse into our weekly Nassau Suffolk Autism Society Parents Yoga class.

This class is a space specifically for parents and caregivers of individuals with autism to take some time for themselves to move, breathe, release some of the tension they carry, and learn simple tools that can support them outside of class too.

We meet weekly and practice a mix of accessible yoga, breathwork, meditation, relaxation, and nervous system support. And since getting out of the house isn't always easy, it's a hybrid class where they have the option to join virtually too.

So grateful to be part of this program funded by the Nassau Suffolk Autism Society and to continue offering this program and creating space for the people who spend so much of their time caring for others.

If you, or someone you know could benefit from this class share this resource with them https://nsasa.org/

I absolutely love teaching outside with fresh air, warm sun, and the sound of the birds. It lights me up. What a beautiful spot to lead a yoga class this weekend. We are thinking to squeeze one more class in for September. 💚🌊🌞

That time of year ☀️😊🌊😍 yesterday I led poolside sunrise yoga at Lifetime in Garden City, and a private session poolside. I just love when we can be outside in the natural light, fresh air, and hear the sounds of the birds. It's so helpful for our circadian rhythm and nervous system.

Sharing yoga with the youth 🧘‍♀️🙏 wow 3 sessions of over 200 kids each 🤣 that's a new record for me. I loved seeing how receptive they were and how much they already knew. We worked on movement, breath, and meditation, incorporating skills to use day to day to feel calm.

Looking forward to this event on 5/20 7pm at Lifetime Garden City. Poolside sun salutations to kick off the pool season ☀️ Let me know if you'd like to come as my guest!

May classes + a new Yoga Nidra meditation are now up!

This month’s practices are centered around breath, nervous system support, rest, and reconnecting with some of the quieter parts of yoga.

This month’s Saturday's classes in Massapequa include:
• Come Back to the Breath (pranayama, bandhas, and meditation)
• Full Primary Series
• Mysore Class
• Gentle Ashtanga & Restorative Integration

I’ve also been slowly refreshing my website behind the scenes with updated photos, colors, and class info, and it’s finally starting to feel more aligned with this next season!

Have a beautiful weekend, I hope to see you on the mat soon.

One of the questions I get asked most often is what's actually different about private yoga, and who it's even for. I wrote this a while back and it's still one of my favorites to share because I think it answers that really well. Whether you're brand new, working with an injury, neurodivergent, or just curious.. give it a read!

Wondering if private yoga is worth it? Here are 9 honest reasons one-on-one yoga sessions in-person on Long Island or virtual might be exactly what you need.

I love being part of the Nassau Suffolk Autism Society yoga program! Here we are at our monthly family yoga class this past weekend.

Every week we have classes funded by NSASA so their members can access these tools. Weekly hybrid yoga class for caregivers, weekly virtual family yoga, and our monthly family yoga in person event.

Love our consistent crew and fresh faces joining us! 😁🙏🧘‍♀️

This guided meditation invites you to slow down and reconnect with a steady, balanced rhythm of breath. Through gentle awareness of the body and breath, the practice supports the nervous system in settling and finding a sense of calm. Inspired by the natural cycles of the seasons, it offers a moment to pause and return to balance when life feels busy or overwhelming. This meditation is about creating space to breathe, reset, and reconnect with a quieter inner steadiness. Check it out!
