Resonant Heart Yoga

07/23/2026

Many years ago (15, 16?) on a planet called Washington Heights, 2 young yoga teachers met and a kinship was born.

Though it’s rare to find 2 yoga teachers together in the wild 🤪 (we’re like passing ships), Shawna Emerick, Integrative Somatic Healer and I forged a friendship that’s blossomed into a thriving business collab!

We call it “ Retreats Reimagined,” and we’ve taken our adventurous retreat clients to far-flung places like Sicily, Costa Rica and Dominica… and closer to home, from the Hudson Valley to the Poconos.

Both 20+ year veteran teachers, we view and value embodied practices like Yoga, Qigong, somatic movement, meditation -
as a means to connect to your true Self, and the wholeness, peace and wisdom that’s always within you.

On every retreat, we include sacred group circles and rituals that foster soul-level connections among participants, and help you see you’re never truly alone.

But the real magic is in the coming together a beautiful, intentional beans who help us co-create magic both on and off the mat!

If this sparked something in you, 2 spots just opened on our upcoming retreat, Savor Simplicity at the beautiful Himalayan Institute !

Get in touch by commenting or DM & will send you all the delicious info!

When's the last time you let yourself slow down and savor the simple pleasures?

A recent study showed that 60% of U.S. adults said they feel too busy to enjoy life.

Yikes 😳

I'll admit, as a solo business owner, I feel that way too. Multitasking, and teaching has me buzzing around in my car and in my head.

Thankfully I get to lead retreats a couple of times a year with my amazing friend and co-teacher, Shawna Emerick!

Oh the joy watching busy bodies slow all the way down...

Tension melting away
Eyes sparkling
Glowing skin and smiles

And all the busyness falling away...

Until there's nothing but the simple, delicious feeling of ease and enjoyment

And, sorry if this offends, but that's what life is supposed to feel like! Not constant grinding.

If you've been bitten by the "busy bug," Savor Simplicity, our annual summer retreat might be just the thing you need

Come home to your slow self through yoga, qigong, meditation, nature, delicious (cooked for you) meals, singing around a bonfire, and more.

Designed for you to undo the busyness, and come home to deep rest, clarity and freedom of mind... with a sneaking awareness that busyness is actually a choice 🤗

Ready for a powerful Spring reset? 🌱

I’m hosting a Women’s Circle tomorrow night

If you're feeling ragged, exhausted, and anxious as we shift seasons

Not to mention feeling depleted and overwhelmed by the news...

This is the invitation you need to:

• exhale
• put down what you’ve been carrying
• be witnessed (without fixing or advice)
• reconnect with what matters

Come to remember you're enough, and you're not alone ⭕

An annual Christmas reminder...
YOU are the gift 🎁
And your presence is (more than) enough

Your presence matters more than all the cookies you bake, gifts you give, or end-of-year tasks you check off your to-do list

So slow down and drop into your soft, animal body over the next few days...
Put a hand on your belly and notice the feel of each breath – the rising and falling – if only for a few breaths
Notice the quiet, the space and stillness underneath thought
THAT is presence... the gift that always gives back 🎁

Merry Christmas and happy season of light, Lovelies!
May you walk into 2026 knowing how WORTHY, WISE & WELL you are!
(Me & my fabulous 86-year old Momma on Christmas Eve 💖)

Movement is Soul Medicine

Being connected to your embodied experience (aka your ‘soft breathing body’) returns you to yourself.

Returns you to the here and now - the peaceful present.

Returns you to your powerful, unshakeable Self 💪😌

Vs. living in the land of future worries and fears, i.e, scary thinking! 😱

I’m pretty sure we all know what that’s like these days!!

Here are some of the things I do (and i def don’t have a strict routine!)

It looks a little different most days, like…

☀️ A short, 10-20-minute somatic movement session on the floor to stretch out and release stiffness and tension

☀️ Or a 15-minute sequence of qigong flows to help me wake up, settle my mind and body, and focus.

☀️ Or, I let my frustrations out + tap into my silly side with a dance break to my favorite pop tunes in the morning or afternoon.

Want a simple movement routine yourself?

Some “Soul Medicine” for what ails you?

Raise your hand 🙋‍♀️ and I’ll send you a link to my favorite, fun, healthy movement practice.

It’ll energize, inspire and uplift you… the medicine you need right now

Yes, you deserve it.
Rest & Play
Conversation & connection
Movement & stillness
Time to take off your armor and unfurl, open-hearted and free to be exactly as you are.

Swipe left & that’s what you’ll see 🫶 folks in their natural state - relaxed, at home in themselves, happy 😊

3 movement classes a day help + sun, sea, good company and music (lots of singing we like to sing!)

You can feel that right now, right here, too.

You don’t have to be on a beach in the DR, or in Sicily, or Costa Rica.

Just rest. Play more. Move your body in ways you love. Enjoy stillness. Connect to the people you love to laugh with.

Eat good food, slow down and breathe, let yourself be nourished.

Feeling good is your true nature.

And peace is always just one thought/one breath away, no matter where you are in the world 🌍.

AND if you want to experience more of this, in community with our amazing family of retreaters, join and me for the next one. 🙏

Get on the waitlist for our July retreat in the now!

This retreat fills up every year, so save your spot - & the early 🐦 price asap.

Raise your hand 🙋‍♀️ to get in. Yes, you deserve it!!
