Our next Sacred Sound Bath with Garth Robertson is coming up on July 17th from 7:00–8:30 PM. ✨

Join us for an immersive ceremonial experience blending sound, stillness, and subtle sensory awareness to create space for rest, reflection, and inner reset.

Rooted in ancient traditions, this journey gently supports a return to balance, clarity, and presence. Through instruments gathered from around the world—including guitar, overtone singing, Tibetan bowls, gongs, chimes, flute, didgeridoo, tuning forks, and more—Garth creates a deeply meditative soundscape that invites the body and mind into profound relaxation.

All are welcome, and beginners are encouraged to come just as you are—no prior experience needed.

This special Yoga-Mojo Stretch & Release with Gong Bath Savasana is being held to bring awareness of and support for WILPF US -- Women's International League for Peace and Freedom US. WILPF is the longest running women's peace organization in the world.

Founded in 1915 by women determined to end World War I, WILPF has spent more than 110 years advocating for peace, human rights, racial and gender justice, environmental sustainability and the abolition of war.

This event is donation based and meant to promote mental calm and support non-profit peace activism. All donations received go to WILPF.

Yoga-Mojo’s "Stretch & Release" is an all-levels floor-based stretching and movement practice focusing on primary muscle groups like the hips, hamstrings, and core. Taught as an "all on the floor" mindful movement & breath practice designed to slow down, release tension, and reconnect.

Yoga-Mojo practices begin with centering elements such as mantra, mudra, and pranayama (breathwork). This practice will target mobility and tightness in major muscle groups, particularly hips and hamstrings leading to a relaxing Savasana, with a gong bath and/or singing bowls.

Yoga for Peace ☮️🕊️

Sometimes the most meaningful way to create peace in the world begins by cultivating a little more peace within ourselves.

On Sunday, August 16th (1:00–2:15 PM), I'll be offering a special -Mojo Stretch & Release practice at Cary Yoga Collective in support of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF US).

Together we'll enjoy an all-levels, floor-based practice of mindful movement, gentle stretching, breathwork, mantra, and relaxation before settling into a deeply restful Gong Bath Savasana, supported by Karl on the gong.

This class is donation-based, with 100% of all donations benefiting WILPF US, the world's longest-running women's peace organization. Since 1915, WILPF has worked to advance peace, human rights, justice, and environmental sustainability through nonviolent action.

A heartfelt thank you to my dear friend April Clark for inviting me to be part of this meaningful event.

Whether you're a longtime yogi or simply looking for a peaceful afternoon of self-care, I'd love to share this practice with you.

✨ Come practice. Come breathe. Come be part of something bigger.

Join our recent Yoga-Mojo Teacher Training graduates for a welcoming, all-levels Vinyasa practice designed to help you move, breathe, stretch, and reconnect.

Each class follows the Yoga-Mojo Methodology, giving you time to settle in, connect with your breath, explore modified Sun Salutations, build strength and flexibility through mindful movement, and finish with a deeply relaxing Savasana.

These classes are free of charge as a gift to our community. While donations are never required, they are greatly appreciated and will be donated to a local nonprofit organization.

Our graduates have recently completed Yoga-Mojo's 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher Training and are excited to begin sharing their passion for yoga. By attending, you're not only enjoying a meaningful practice—you’re also supporting these new teachers as they gain valuable teaching experience.

Come practice with us, connect with our community, and support the next generation of yoga teachers. We can't wait to see you on the mat! ✨🧘‍♀️

I’m so excited to share that my three books are now available on Amazon 🤍

Yoga Mythology ~ A Resource for Yoga Teachers and Practitioners

Each one was created to support you in a different way — whether you’re learning to craft intentional, meaningful sequences, adapting your practice as your body evolves, or bringing the richness of mythology, mantra, and mudra into your teaching / your practice.

If you feel called to explore a little deeper, I’d love for you to take a look. Available via Amazon or at Yoga Collective.

Rest, Restore, Receive

Summer burns bright — and by mid-July, most of us are running a little hot. The days stretch long, the pace doesn't let up, and somewhere in the middle of all that sun, we forget we're allowed to cool down.

This week, we're doing just that. Think of it as dipping your feet into something cooler — a pause that lowers the temperature on the noise, the hustle, the heat of trying to keep up. Rest becomes the shade. Restoration becomes the water. And receiving? That's simply letting yourself be cooled, instead of constantly generating the fire.

So before the next wave of summer sweeps in, take a moment here. Let this be your cool water moment.
