Fall Yoga Schedule

Fall is here and this is the perfect time to disconnect from the outside world and find an inner connection to yourself. Yoga will teach you to honour your body and at the same time feed your soul.  We breathe in love, light and space so that we can let go of the things that…

I Don’t Want to #getbusyliving

The last few years have been hectic by all accounts.  Raising my tribe, getting divorced, making time to find love again while moving my professional career forward and building a flourishing part time yoga business. My life could easily be described as "busy" and yet I still wanted to travel, never miss a monthly book…

The Upside of 40

My almost 18 year old daughter had her high school prom Friday night. She was stunning in a long white gown, her hair flowing, makeup flawless.  Surrounded by her friends, she was glowing and as I took the last few pictures before I said my good bye to her for the night I started to…

Cabin No. 2

It's been almost a year since I ended my marriage.  A year full of twists and turns, highs and lows, chaos broken by a few moments of calm.  My beautiful yoga teacher Marianne Wells once said, the magic of life happens in that quiet moment between breaths.  The silent pause at the end of the…

Creating (Even More) Space

I teach a workshop a few times a year on how to cultivate more space in both the  physical area around you (home, office, car) as well as removing some of the mental clutter we all carry.  Using yoga as a means to explore our relationship with stuff, we work towards letting go of attachment.  The…

The World Awaits

Patagonia has been on my bucket list for years.  Images of majestic mountains, blue lakes and an untamed wilderness made frequent visits in my dreams.  But dreaming of this far away place wasn't enough to satisfy my longing to experience it in person.  Like so many of my other adventures, I began to browse through…

An Alaskan Adventure aboard the Wonder

I am a traveler who loves her backpack, hiking boots and an off the grid location.  I am also a mother of four, the youngest being 8 years old.  When Alaska moved up to the number one spot on my bucket list, I did something I never thought I would do-I booked a Disney cruise.…

From the Amazon to the Andes

I am in the midst of a love affair with South America.  After working my way through Mexico, the Caribbean and parts of Central America it is South America that has stolen my heart and infiltrates my dreams. We have just returned home from an incredible adventure through Peru.  Landing in Lima just after midnight,…

Facing My Fear

I have been weaving the theme of fear into my classes lately-both my personal practice and the ones I teach. Challenging myself and my students to find their edge and then instead of moving away from it, moving towards it.  We can become very comfortable sitting in a place of comfort. Sometimes that is what…

Practice Not Perfection

I am by all accounts a Type A.  High expectations for myself but also for those around me.  Luckily a strong yoga practice has grounded me and I have learned to live with more love and less judgement.  Off my mat.  The struggle to let go of perfection on my mat however has proved to…
