Your perfect sankalpa is already in your heart.

Crafting a sankalpa isn’t about forcing or fixing—it’s a process of listening and uncovering.

Here are a few tips to get started:
💜Turn inward and truly listen.
💜 Be ready to take action.
💜 Speak it in the present tense—your body believes what you tell it.
💜 Most importantly: GET YOUR MIND AND HEART RIGHT!
We create from a place of joy, abundance, and possibility. When you trust in yourself and your abilities, you allow your sankalpa to take root.

Yoga teacher confession: I LOATHE the word intention.
I think it’s so overused that it’s almost become empty in it’s meaning.

So does that mean that I just live my life without purpose or direction or goals?! NOPE!

So what’s my secret? SANKALPA!!

In my latest blog, I unpack why intention feels empty to me and explore how sankalpa can bring more depth to your practice on and off the mat.

Mental health is always a topic of interest - mostly because of my own personal journey.

AND also because who hasn't struggled recently?!

One of my favorite considerations is the spoon theory...I read about from Jenny Lawson (who writes hilariously about her journey with mental health - seriously, check her out!)...but credit goes to Christine Miserandino.

Christine had a chronic illness and was out to lunch with a friend and trying to explain what it was like. She gathered all the spoons in the dining room to demonstrate.

Shortened, but something like this: we all only have so many spoons. Some folks start with more spoons than others, and often we may lose spoons due to trauma, stress or disease - life. There may be seasons of our life where we have less access to our spoons. All tasks take spoons as energy exchange. In the low times - basic tasks may require more spoons than usual. We all only have so many spoons - when they are out, it's time to nap or recharge or hide under the covers.

I'm learning that we all recharge differently - and my needs are often varied and diverse.

Introvert, extrovert, somewhere in between?

It's important to understand ourselves, and the ways we refuel, so that we may communicate these specific needs to others.

There are times I just want a hug, and there are times I would rather shut down completely.

How is anyone supposed to navigate those waters if I don't clearly assess my own needs - in real time?!

Growth area for me? Speaking up before I spiral out.

There's always opportunities to evolve.

I am practicing gratitude for the lessons.

We all sometimes forget our magic and doubt ourselves.

Swipe through for some affirmations to support you whenever you’re doubting yourself, and remember–I believe in you and your magic!

I say this every year but it still needs to be repeated:
You
don't
need
a
new
you!

Sure - set goals, self-study, learn all the things, and evolve!

AND - the practice is to love yourself in all the ways on all the days.

Be a work in progress while screaming "I LOVE YOU" to your reflection.

One more question to ponder:
who benefits from me doubting my magic?! 🙄

So let's turn our magic way TF up!!

Embark on a journey of self-discovery, awareness, and love in June 2025 with the next cohort our the Elemental Moon Yoga School 200hr Yoga Teacher Training.

The teaching style presented in this YTT is weaving of 3 systems of study: Yoga (as described by Patanjali and other texts), Ayurveda (our elemental nature), and Ta**ra (tools that allow us to live our lives more skillfully). There is no on-size-fits-all Yoga practice. This training will give you the tools to discern how to best meet your students where they are.

You know where to learn more! 🔗

I curate yoga retreats because this type of experience fosters magical connections between beautiful humans, but don’t take my word for it. Here’s what some past retreat participants are saying:

“This yoga retreat was so special and magical... The thoughtfulness showed through the diversity of teachings, knowledge shared and their respect and love for all living things. ... I am so grateful for this experience, to take a pause , to laugh, to cry, to be, to connect with other beautiful souls on their own spiritual evolution and gain a deeper connection with myself. Thank you and much love!”

“The retreat was named Love, Yoga, Magic; and there was no shortage of any of those. From start to finish (and beyond) it was truly MAGIC”

“The amount of love and planning that went into this retreat was so obvious. I appreciated all of the different forms of yoga we practiced, as well as gaining an understanding of the local culture. I swam in a waterfall, did yoga on the beach as the sun rose, pet some local puppies, rode horses as the sun set and I made friends that I hope to have for a lifetime. The past few years have been hard for almost all of the world, and what a gift to find some healing surrounded by such beauty and love.”

Join me on an upcoming retreat and see for yourself!
