My heart is full.♥️ Thank you 🙏🏼
So much gratitude for the graduates of the Embodied Resilience Yoga Teacher Training
Thank you for your trust, your presence, and the care you brought into this space. Such big hearts ♥️
It takes real courage to study trauma and how it lives in the body. Yoga gives us tools for navigating an unpredictable and often unfair world — and this training explored why these practices work.
How they gently rewire our inner landscape, allowing the body and nervous system to catch up with the thinking mind.
Yoga is truly transformative. It alchemizes pain, turning it into clarity, steadiness, and forward movement rooted in the body.
Congratulations to each of you. I can’t wait to see how you carry this work forward — the world needs it now more than ever 🤍

I’ve learned a lot from this experiment.
1. For people with disordered eating who I serve, there is a difference between pausing the consumption of food for medical reasons and having an unhealthy relationship with food. If I’ve offended you, I’m sorry. That’s not my intention.
My intention is to speak to people who’ve had an estrogen-based tumour.
My oncologist informed me that fat cells produce estrogen. As a survivor amid perimenopause, where one’s estrogen spikes and valleys, carrying extra fat cells is dangerous and can lead to recurrence.
I stayed quiet about my experience with cancer because when doctors gave me clearance, I never wanted to hear the word again. It’s been four years, and I am ready to share.
2. A dear friend who is a doctor of internal medicine and someone whom I respect, cautioned me. She explained that there’s been a lot of research done on men that shows that fasting has many positive effects. Until recently, very little research has included women. New research shows that fasting is actually bad for women. I will do more research before I try it again.
3. Someone asked if it matters at what time in your cycle you do this. Great question. I do not know. If anyone has any information on this, please place it in the comments. And perhaps all women should think about number two on this list and dig a little deeper into the effects of this practice on women.
4. Fasting has been part of the yoga tradition for millennia. Ayurveda, the medical branch of yoga, often uses it. For a deeper spiritual experience, cleansing the body is also a common practice in many spiritual traditions. This cross-cultural practice is important to note, as it spans the globe.
5. As someone who tries to live somatically in this world, I take instruction from my body. We are all different. My body feels great. I’ve been sleeping well; my mind is clear and my body feels healthy and bright.
6. Thank you to everyone who feels inspired and sent notes of encouragement 🙏🏼

Today is day six of my water fast, and I’m going to wrap it up tomorrow at midday. I intended on doing a full seven days however tomorrow evening I’m teaching a three hour class. It’ the beginning of a Trauma Informed YTT
When you’re fasting you’re functioning at about 70-80%. At least that’s how it feels to me. And these students deserve my full presence and energetic self.
Holding space for challenging conversations and facilitating a safe container requires a lot of power.
So one and a half days more than I did last time. I’m happy with that.
I’ve just been grocery shopping to have ingredients for tomorrow - that sucked 😂 Walking through a grocery store during a fast is not recommended 🤣
I’m looking forward to some clear soup tomorrow at lunch time to break the fast and to wake up my digestive system.
24 hours to go!!! Wish me luck.
And we’ve got one spot left in our training. If you’re in or near Toronto and you’d like to join us please reach out to Kathryn at Yoga Space.

Isla Negra is one of the most beautiful places I’ve had the privilege to visit. It’s on the Pacific coast of Chile. The ocean is so powerful. Even on hot sunny days the wind off the sea is cold - whipping up from the Antarctic.
Pablo Neruda’s house is there. You can see the inspiration for his poems in the raw, rugged coast that surrounds it. The fauna is like nothing you’ve ever seen. 🌺
Thank you a million times over to Claudia and her family Sebastian, Bruno, Lukas and Menoona 🐾for a truly enchanting weekend by the sea 🙏🏼
I taught a Yin training 8 years ago at her gorgeous studio in Santiago. If you ever make it down that way, check it out.
Travelling is the cure for ignorance and a balm for the soul.

Embodied Resilience is a trauma informed yoga teacher training designed to help you understand how overwhelming life experiences shape the body, behaviour, and nervous system, and how yoga and contemporary somatic practices can gently support healing.
Together we explore the science of trauma, the wisdom of the yogic traditions, and practical tools to create safer, more inclusive spaces, whether you are working one to one or in community.
This training is not about fixing people.
It is about learning to see with tenderness, listen with presence, and honour the incredible intelligence of the body.
Starts January 29th ✨
Only a couple of spots left. Reach out to to register 🙏🏼
