Here we are: January. Most people don’t *love* January. It’s a dark contrast to the joy and bustle of December. However, as a Yoga studio owner, January is one of my favorite months. People flock back to the studio, all hyper motivated to reach their fitness goals. The energy of a full class feels so […]

As we enter the month of hustle and bustle, and dashing here and there, it is a good time to pause.  Let us reflect on what we want our holiday, our home, our life to look like.  Pause.  For years I thrust myself into holiday chaos, filling life with stuff.

Stop what you are doing right now, look around, and see if you can find 5 people. I bet all of those people have a device in front of their face. How long does it take for someone to make eye contact with you? Seriously, do it. Stop, breathe and count how many breaths you […]

Lately, I’ve been feeling like there are SO many things to complain about. After the financial struggles of the last two years, it feels like I can’t catch a break. And […]

“If it’s not a heck yes, then it’s a no.” OR “I set boundaries for a more balanced life.” Sometimes when I look ahead at my calendar, both work and social, I become overwhelmed and dread how many things I have committed to. I was conditioned from a very young age that “good girls” don’t say […]

April mantra of the month: I let go of what no longer serves me. Queue Frozen theme song “Let it go, let it GOOO!” It’s officially spring, we are officially unmasked, vaccine passports are becoming a memory and we are finally allowed to gather with our friends and family without fear of sending grandma to […]

“I am one with nature. We are all connected.” March is an awakening: I notice the buds on the tree in my front yard my heart sings ‘spring is coming’!
