Today, amidst the excitement of being back to group classes at I heard myself answer the question “how are things going?” with “amazing!” I heard myself say: “I love being a mom”

And I meant it.

Of course, there are moments that I wonder how the heck I can do this, but overall, I am really, really happy. And, honestly, I wasn’t at first. I wasn’t sure I could do this. I wasn’t sure I’d be good at it or enjoy it. But I am in a groove. And every week, Julien grows and changes and every week, we turn a corner in our growth as a family.

While pregnant I heard someone say that motherhood is mostly remembering that “this too shall pass.” That goes for the sweet moments along with the crazy stressful ones and that mantra has been SO helpful for us as we have started our journey as parents.

So whatever it is you’re going through, remember that this too shall pass and allow yourself to really be in whatever you’re in. Soak in every lesson, every joy, every part of the moment before it passes.

To all the humans who get the honor of being called Dad, Daddy, Papa, Papi, Dada...Happy Father’s Day!

But, especially to these Dads.

To the one who has been there for me since 1987 - changing diapers, taking me to ballgames, wearing cheer-Dad shirts, moving me from apartment to home and now starting the cycle all over again with his grandson, thank you.

To the one who chose me almost 10 years ago and continues to choose me everyday since - who cares for our son with a tenderness and love I am amazed by, who has helped make this house such a home, thank you.

To the one who raised the man I love so much, who supports our little family day in and day out, thank you.

Father’s Day is a little extra special this year thanks to Julien George.

I’m trading up.

Nights out and bottles of wine for nights in and bedtime stories with a wide eyed boy.

Deep sleep and lazy weekends for 3am feedings with a smiley boy.

Even my favorite dangly Hamsa earrings and tigers eye mala are put away for now. But, I’m trading up. For close cuddles and that sweet baby smell.

Pregnancy, and now, motherhood has meant letting go of many things (temporarily), but I am beginning to really feel like I’m not missing out, but rather trading up.

What are you trading up for? How can you shift your perspective this weekend - because what you perceive is what you receive...

Grandpa Guy came for a visit today for his birthday. It’s amazing to see how Julien reacts and engages with different people. He is always calm and wide eyed with his GG. It’s like he is able to soak in his energy. I’m so grateful for my Dad - for gifting me, and now Julien, his sense of peace and curiosity.

Happy birthday Grandpa Guy! We are so grateful for you and love you beyond words.

One week ago at this time, I was in the midst of the most physically and emotionally challenging experience of my life. And then, at 9:53p on Thursday, April 11, 2019, our beautiful boy was born and the trials and tribulations of labor, the 40 weeks of pregnancy, all of it made sense.

Friends and family, meet Julien George Glezen - born at 6 lbs 12 oz and 20 in long, this little peanut has stolen the hearts of his Mommy and Daddy.

We are all incredibly happy, in love and, thanks to the support of our families, getting as much rest as we can as we adjust to life with a newborn. For those who texted and I haven’t responded, i thank you for your words of love and your patience. I promise during one of those late night feedings you’ll get a message back from me.

Feeling so blessed to call this beautiful boy my son.

We are almost 38 weeks and baby has definitely started his descent which means I’m breathing easier. And also thinking a lot about the mechanics of breath and how they will support me in one of the most challenging and amazing experiences of my life...

Curious about the power of breath and how your life force can support you more optimally day in and day out?

Join me for two hours of Pranayama tomorrow at from 2-4p!

There’s still room and there’s still time - simply show up tomorrow ready to breathe and be.

Remaining calm amidst the chaos...or at least attempting to.

Thank goodness for the tools of Yoga + Mindfulness! I’m taking this move one breath at a time and putting to use the coping skills that my practice has taught me to find my center during this season of imbalance.

Stress is inevitable. It’s a part of being human. But how we handle the stress in our lives makes all the difference.

If you’re looking to find the calm amidst the chaos of your life, join and me for The Journey Within - A Yoga and Mindfulness Intensive starting Feb 2!

Yesterday I turned 32.

This year there was no party, no special dinner, no wine, no pampering, no rest.

There was, however, TONS of love coming in the form of phone calls, text messages, Facebook notes and emails from friends, clients and family. There were gifts - traditional ones wrapped in pretty packages and non-traditional ones cloaked in hard work, sweat equity...painting and preparing this house to become a home. And, yes, there damn well was cake.

Who knows what next year will look like with a baby!?! But what I do know is that I am so, so grateful to be surrounded by so many loving people. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this birthday so special. If I haven’t thanked you yet individually for your wishes, I promise...it’s coming!

Ain't that the truth?
..
Yet, how often do you unconsciously equate slow to lazy and gentle to weak? In your practice, in your life?
..
My friend, they are not the same. Slow can be methodical, deliberate, thoughtful. Gentle can be strong, potent. powerful.
..
Just something to pay attention to as the days get shorter, the weather turns cooler and the body and mind may crave more slowing down, more softening, more gentleness, more coziness. These are all valuable parts of being human. Lean in.
..

Super excited to begin a new adventure in the coming weeks at !
..
This opportunity, like many in life, came at just the right time and feels so aligned with who I am and where I’m headed in my career.
..
Starting the week of September 24th, you can catch me holding space at this cozy spot on:
..
Fridays | 7:15a
Saturdays | 9:45a
..
DM or email me if you’d like to come to my class as a guest or nab one of the limited free class cards I have.
..

in a yoga class.
in a meeting at work.
in an entire day.
..
it's okay. some days you're going to feel physically ambitious on the mat. some days you're going to feel motivated, creative and productive at work. some days you're going to feel vibrant and energized about life.
..
and some days, you're not.
..
here's your reminder that it's okay. just take it one breath at a time.
