New Year, New Resolution. Inhale, I am here, and exhale, I was there and should be over there. You are now – Welcome 2026
Inhale the skills, friendships, and beauty of 2025 – hold it with you – exhale and let go of the toxins, unhealthy relationships, and turbulence that were holding you down, pushing you back, and destroying your own sense of self-worth and identity. Personally, there is so much that has happened in 2025 – my health, […]
A Necessary Awakening to a Life-Threatening Pandemic of Numbness to Trauma
We need to live in a world where we hear, read, and see the uncertainty around us, not the controlled society that we have manufactured through AI, an internet game, or through social media.

Hi All, I meant to post this blog pre-Mother’s Day, but I didn’t get around to it! I do feel like this last mini-workshop (tripod to side crows) and today’s 55 minutes class, which did a lot of focus on the core, twisting, and obliques, as well as stability, is very fitting for Mother’s Day. […]
Challenging yoga poses and challenging obstacles in life, require strengthening of the body and mind
This week as I continue to get stronger, but still feel the discomfort of surgery (and perhaps just my body settling into it’s new “structure” shall we say) along with the discomforts of normal aches and pains that I’m told (but have difficulty accepting) we all get after the age of 35, I’ve decided to […]
