We are in the thick of late summer, the pregnant pause ☀️🍑 which means the perfect time to bring Yin back!! So excited to offer a special Labor Day Virtual Yin this Monday, September 7 at 6:30pm CST. 75 minutes of slow, yummy, introspective stillness.

Late summer is the fifth, pivotal season between Nature’s yin and yang, where we return to the middle. We’ll have a grounding, earthy practice where we explore the earth element as it relates to the stomach and spleen. Ripe and juicy, digestive, humid - the perfect pause.

All are welcome - invite a friend 🫶

I’m planning to offer these twice a month going forward. The next one will be Sunday, September 20.

Sliding scale: $15–25. Your spot is booked as soon as you make a payment. Simply venmo or message me to book!

The class link will be sent out an hour before we begin.

I’d love to practice with you 🤍 And if you want to read the expanded thoughts on discomfort in my latest Substack post, link is in the bio.

Second batch of Peru content!! ⛰️ There is little I will say no to if it affords me the opportunity to visit a new country.

The lessons and experiences of travel are embodied for a lifetime. I forget sometimes about the nomadic version of my past self - the fear, the innocence, the naivety and courage, and all the things the world taught me as I wandered through my twenties.

The insatiable drive to explore different landscapes and cultures has taken me from New Zealand to Australia, to teaching in the treehouses of Costa Rica and off-grid eco communities in Nicaragua and Borneo, meditating in the blistering heat of India and Thailand, backpacking through the jungles of Sumatra and Bali and Laos, Vietnam, the Philippines, Colombia, Europe…so much.

I used to seek out “homes” around the world, fine-tuning my intuition, when I need to ground, nest or move on. I developed rituals to keep me sane - to feel like “me” no matter where I was or who I was with. It kept me SO present (and constantly on my toes!)

But I have been wandering far too long to not call my journey my home.

I am in awe of that woman who thought she’d be a backpacker forever, for she is undoubtedly responsible for the woman I am today.

And now I’m a mom! A wife! Sometimes a teacher and always a student. Owning our journey, the mistakes, the triumphs, the lessons, the curveballs, the paradox is how we keep expanding.

“Staying open” as life moves through us never gets easier, but it does make us resilient as f*ck.

The wildest and holiest week away in the Andes 🍄⛰️🌱💫 and my Mother’s Day gift to myself before we moved to Atlanta!! Full cup and heart, stellar women, m spirit overflowing in awe of this sacred land. Thank you and for creating this tender container for us to land. It really felt like a homecoming and release I didn’t know I needed. I have nothing but massive awe and respect for all the mamas out there. And to the grandest mama of all - Pachamama. Thank you for holding us. This land is otherworldly. I would come back 100x over. What a gift and a blessing. We are everything, and we are nothing ⛰️🤲✨🌞

PERU ✨⛰️🍄🌱💦

My son continuously teaches me who I am. Not the mom, not the teacher, not the layers of identities I’ve collected over the years. But the steady, unchanging awareness beneath that. I feel lucky to have had yoga as an underpinning to motherhood. It’s informed everything that I do, and has laid out the groundwork for the work ahead. Last year was the hardest year to date of my life. This year already feels lighter. He reflects everything - where I grip, where I rush, where I resist… all mirrored back through his pure, innocent, ego-less self. His humor, love, creativity and joy remind me that we are all just children of the planet. We just pick up heavy things along the way and call them security. When we can find the grace to put them down, we remember who we really are.

Some favorite moments over the last year✨

Road tripping through the Australian desert, summer 2017. Five weeks living in tents, marinating in nature, and yielding to the dry heat and relentless sun. Sometimes I ache for those carefree days. There is something untouchable about the ephemeral nature of the nomad phase. Maybe it’s the innocent hope that the road will never end - that we’ll never have to “return.” Maybe it’s the constant communion with Great Nature. It’s always been my greatest teacher.

I think before yoga hooked me, I subconsciously understood the interconnectedness of all living things. It’s why I studied biology: the realization that we are not just a part of the greater whole, but entirely dependent on it. My time in Vipassana mediation only deepened this. We never really understand anything until we live it. Interconnectedness is a universal truth that lives within the framework of the body on a cellular nature. Everything is energy, nothing is permanent, and our entire universe (inside and out) is in a constant change of flux, action and reaction.

This underpins everything I teach. The body becomes a map of the mind. The body doesn’t lie. We become what we repeat, and our patterns embed themselves as posture, tension, chronic pain, wrinkles, habit. But once we understand the map, we can change the destination.

The silence of the Great Red Desert is otherworldly. Uluru is not just a landmark; it is a pulse. Standing on that sacred ground, I felt the weight of a history that precedes language. It wasn’t just a trip - it was a pilgrimage to the heart of the earth, a reminder that some mysteries aren’t meant to be solved, only felt.
