Jakob met his cousins, aunt, and uncle this past weekend - it was quite a change from life before Jakob to life now with a house full of kids for a day.

It’s a little like controlled chaos… we’ll sometimes controlled. Which is kind of what my brain has felt like during postpartum. My head can be loud and all over the place, quiet and empty, or a mix of both plus a tsunami of emotions. I say tsunami cause there’s often no warning when they’ll hit.

Part of postpartum… I’m learning, especially for new moms, is grief. It sounds strange. How can you be grieving when you have so much to be joyful for?

Emotions are complicated and when you add hormones and huge life changes, things get really twisted. And grief is one of the heavy hitters when it comes to emotions.

Postpartum grief can include grieving the life you had before becoming a parent, grieving the end of your pregnancy, grieving the loss of connection to a child inside of your body (because the connection outside is different), grieving your body changes, and more.

Not only do the changes of new mom life bring emotional and mental challenges, but I’ve found my neck and shoulders to be twisted in knots from continually gazing down at his beautiful face as we rock in his nursery chair.

Luckily, I have yoga and meditation. These are the game changers for me right now.

I’m inviting you to come process [and maybe let go of some of] your emotions with me in a 45 minute yoga flow, tomorrow morning at 7am (virtually or in studio) at

We’ll be focusing on movement for our neck and shoulders as well as breathwork and meditation.

And if you are currently in the throws of postpartum or soon to be, know you’re not alone. I’m always here to chat.

Jakob is one week old today! 🎉

And I’m missing all my friends from … there’s a chance… you maybe… might…. be able to say hi to me in Friday 5:30pm meditation with .ahmyoga

No guarantees cause new moms life is crazy and unpredictable, but if I were you (and by you I mean the you that wants to say hi to me) I’d sign up now just to make sure you have a spot 😉

Happy Baby Shower to sweet little Jakob 💙

Thanks to everyone that came to celebrate with support and so much love 🥰

He’s already the luckiest little boy with the village that surrounds us 🤍

It was Bentley’s birthday a few days ago. And in about three weeks it will be Jakob’s birthday.

It’s been about a week since the midwives mentioned induction to us and today maternal fetal medicine strongly advised we do an induction at 37 weeks. That’s December 10th.

At first I hated the idea, I cried for an entire evening and then some. I wasn’t ready for Jakob to leave me, for the little kicks to stop, for this quiet private bond we’ve built to end, for him to leave the safety he’s in now and to be exposed to this crazy world we live in. I still feel that way, and am still not sure if it’s even rational considering how difficult pregnancy has been on my body.

But, he is healthy right now and the medical team has assured us that he looks ready to join us at 37 weeks and do not expect any issues for him. If we wait, that could change… for him and especially for me.

The concern right now is for me and my health, short and long term. So reluctantly I’m agreeing. I don’t want to be induced. But Jakob deserves a healthy momma.

I’m excited to see his face, squeeze his cheeks, watch him stretch out, and hear all the fun noises he’ll make. But I’m anxious, and I’m in my feels. All the emotions on top of the rush to get all the things together, organized, and ready - it’s a lot.

People don’t talk about this part of pregnancy. We see the happy bump photos and smiles and nurseries and everything looks like an easy dream. When in realty, it’s not always like that.

There are definitely days like that, don’t get me wrong. There are happy moments and laughs and so much joy about our little miracle. But it’s not constant or consistent.

Let’s normalize what the pregnancy journey is actually like. Let’s be real and honest and open. When we’re vulnerable, it allows others to feel validated in their journeys, to be vulnerable, and to ask for support if they need it. I have wonderful support from my husband, my family, close friends, and staff. I’m so thankful for that. 🤍

So happy birthday Bentley, you old pup. We got you a baby brother this year, he’ll be here to pull on your hair sooner than you know it 💙

Last night I taught possibly the last yoga class I’ll teach for a few months, to a sold out full room of amazing humans, with a backdrop of healing sounds from 🤍

It was one of those magical classes where I felt the effects after even without being on a mat or moving. I taught sitting in a chair because being on the ground isn’t ideal right now. I don’t teach for me. I teach for the humans that show up in the room. But sometimes I receive a positive shift in my own energy.

I have so much gratitude for the community 🤍 You all fill up my heart everyday. Thanks for being authentically you and showing up.

We got married… again! ❤️

So grateful for all of the love and support at our wedding celebration yesterday! We finally were able to celebrate with our friends, family, and loved ones (including baby Jakob) 🤍

Thank you to everyone who helped out, attended, or sent a sweet message our way - we love you

It may have started out a rainy muddy day but the surprise double rainbow that said just may have been sent to us from my grandpa and uncle (who passed away in the past couple years) was absolutely amazing 🌈

Here’s to forever with my love 🤍

A yoga and meditation practice is a lot like making a bouquet from a flower field 🌻

You show up and take a moment to soak in the place… fresh air, sunlight, rows and rows of colorful blooms. You arrive to start your practice.

As you start to walk through the rows (move deeper into your practice), you start to noticing some buzzing bees… maybe a few angry ones or ones that won’t leave you alone. You notice not all of the flowers are vibrant and alive, some have died off and others have yet to bloom.

The beauty is, you can notice all of these things and choose which you give attention to, or which flowers you decide to pick and carry around. When you leave the field of your practice, you’ve chosen what flowers you brought with you off your mat. But you’re also aware of all the flowers and bees you saw that you left back in the field.

This is how your yoga practice serves you. You show up, see everything, and you choose where your focus lands.

I’m curious lately. About myself and about you.

Why do I practice yoga?

I’ve created a list pages long but some of the reasons that I find the loudest are:
• Slow down from my always busy life
• Connect to myself
• Fill my cup back up
• Listen to my own mind and body
• Explore the mobility and strength of my physical body
• Harness my energy

I want to know… WHY do YOU practice yoga?

If you don’t, why not?

Drop it in the comments, friends 👇🏼

I spend a good bit of time lately thinking about what’s important in life. What I want to teach to our baby boy, in more just words, but in my everyday actions.

It’s a big list. But at the top of it so far is:
💙 Your emotions are valid and you are free to express them.
🤍 You are loved.
🧸 Rest and play are just as important as work.
🙂 You do not need money to be happy.
🫂 People are complex and compassion is kindness.
🏕 Experiences over materials.

The list goes on and on. It’s telling how many of these things overlap into themes and lessons often found in a yoga practice. Wanting to set a good example for our little boy starts with living my life in a way that exemplifies what I want to teach him. It’s just one more reason I come back to my yoga practice, over and over.

I’ll be back to teaching classes Tuesday, after this little baby moon.
