Maybe it's the season. Maybe it's age...but this year has made me think less about becoming someone and more about becoming comfortable with all the versions I’ve already been.

It's been about being able to hold all the versions of being soft, fierce, serious, ridiculous, disciplined and deeply playful...without feeling the need to edit any of it out.

There's a beauty to duality in realizing that wholeness was never about choosing one side. ✨️

BASICS OF YIN YOGA WORKSHOP!

This is absolutely one of my favourite practices.

Join me November 28–29 at Union 108 for a weekend of slowing down, getting curious, and exploring what Yin Yoga really is.

We’ll explore the practice, its history and philosophy, energy centres, and how to teach Yin with intention—not just a collection of poses and a playlist.

No performance. No perfect shapes. No need to be the most flexible person in the room.

Just a little curiosity, a willingness to slow down, and two days to deepen your understanding of this beautiful practice.

See you there!

LEARN THE PRACTICE. QUESTION THE PARADIGM.

"That’s just how we’ve always done it” isn’t exactly a philosophy.

This is yoga teacher training for those who want to understand the practice, challenge the defaults, and teach from a place of knowledge, not imitation.

Spring 2027 | March 6–June 26
6 students. Payment plans available.
Applications close November 30.

Lessons from wolves:

Love fiercely.
Trust your instincts.
Protect what matters.
Rest when needed.
Run when it's time.
Live wild, live with purpose.

Sometimes, protecting people from the consequences of their own actions/inactions can also shield them from the weight of the responsibility they are meant to carry. need to carry. Stepping in to smooth over every misstep or constantly mediating tensions in a group when others could learn to navigate them themselves, can prevent people from developing accountability and awareness of their impact.

We make excuses and fix what others break because it’s uncomfortable to watch struggle. In spaces like yoga studios, activist circles, or broader political and social justice communities, this can also look like always translating complex issues for others instead of allowing space for learning, or *absorbing emotional labor* in conversations that others could also share responsibility for holding.

Sometimes the most compassionate thing is to step back....not as punishment, but because responsibility is part of growth. When support becomes overreach, it can reinforce dependency instead of dignity and agency. Sometimes love helps. Sometimes it lets people carry what is theirs.

Well… this is a pretty cool plot twist!

I’m excited to share that I’ve been selected as one of the speakers for TEDx Mechanicsville on November 7th.

No big deal. Just casually stepping onto a TEDx stage.🙈

Truthfully, this one means a lot.

There’s something really special about being invited to share an idea that has lived with me for a long time. Something I’ve questioned, wrestled with, learned from, and ultimately decided was worth putting into the world.

I’m honoured. I’m excited. I’m a little nervous.

But mostly, I’m grateful.

Grateful for the experiences that shaped the idea.
For the people who challenged me to think differently.
And for the reminder that sometimes the things we’ve been quietly working on eventually find their way into a much bigger room.

So, November 7th.
TEDx Mechanicsville.

I’ll bring the idea.
You bring the curiosity.

And yes, I’ll try not to trip on the way to the microphone. 😂

Some wins deserve to be celebrated quietly.

This one, I’m celebrating. ❤️

It's a question that has stayed with me.

If we strip away appearances, job titles, follower counts, designer labels, perfectly curated feeds, and the need to perform...

What's left?

Our kindness. Our integrity.The way we make people feel.The way we show up when no one is watching.The courage to keep growing.The compassion we offer to ourself and others.

People won't remember the image we created. They'll remember the energy you carried, the love you gave, and the lives you touched.

So, if the world was blind, what would people know you for?
