We are gearing up for a very active fall and one of the programs back on our schedule is Breathe & Eat!  This program was always one of my favorites – a combination of movement, breathwork and eating.  Some of the skills learned include how to manage the speed of the meal with sets, how to sense if the food is a match for your body or not, and how to establish the sensations of your physical body that are unique to you when it comes to food.  The six week program will begin on Wednesday, September 15th.  Space is limited.

After a wonderful meeting with my staff this past week, I was reminded again that the core principles that I established 15 years ago for my work still stand strong today.

1 – Each woman is respected for who she is and there is no judgement.

2 – No woman should ever be discriminated against when it comes to a movement program.

3 – The goal of my program is to teach women how to move safely safely and effectively in their own bodies, no matter their size.

4 – Each woman will be encouraged to pursue other activities or movement styles once a baseline of technique is established.

5 – For the hour we are together, it continues to be my goal and passion to help teach women how to stay connected to her beautifully moving physical body.

With repsect and appreciation…

Have a pretty amazing day!

Each woman arrived to class with her own set of physical, energetic and emotional challenges.  The night may have begun in a frenzy of energy, but with each breath and asana, the energy in the room turned inward.  

Yoga – to yoke – to join together.  In the safety of the space this community of women creates, each is free to experience her own self in a compassionate, kind and gentle environment.  Each woman who experiences this place of peace within, even if only for a few seconds, extends the invitation to the next woman to do the same.

 I feel so incredibly blessed to teach this amazing group of beautiful women.  The greatest gift, my “Ahhh Moment,” is to watch each client leave with peace and breath…having regained a sense of her own personal union. 

Thank you ladies, so very, very much. 

Om shanti…peace.

“Political Junkie” takes on a whole new meaning for me!  No wonder I feel weighed down, sluggish and a bit lethargic – look/listen to the “fuel/food” I’ve been taking in!

Don’t get me wrong – I think we need to be VERY engaged in this election.  But I need to “slim down” by getting the right nourishment.  Breathe and get to sleep instead of attack ads the last thing before I go to bed.  Surround myself with good friends and family instead of the “Joes” of the world becoming my new most famous acquaintances. Ingesting the appropriate food by reading the labels and researching reliable sources.

Incredible…amazing how seductive it can all be.  But with any vice or addiction, change occurs with awareness.  Thank God this one hit me before I couldn’t breathe!  Back on track to healthier physical and energetic options… 

I invite you to review your health at such a critical and transitional time in our world.  Breathe.  Your health is truly your greatest asset. 

Wishing you peace…
