I love how the same oil will look different depending on what herbs or flowers it’s been infused with. I finally strained some oils that have been “cooking” for longer than necessary. Trusting that the timing is just perfect.

Chandra had plenty of nicknames (sweetie girl, barkey mcbarkerson, baby doll…) but she was actually named after a yoga pose.

Ardha CHANDRAsana

She was my yoga baby. She did yoga with me most mornings for almost 16 years. That’s over 5,000 times! So…since she’s left her body, I haven’t been able to do my own practice in the morning. And that’s okay, I am offering myself grace while I grieve.

I will be teaching my regular (yin & gentle yoga) classes going forward, but I’ve taken a break from the YogaDance. It’s a very deep (emotional) practice and I still feel too raw to lead this practice.

You all have been so beautiful and gracious as I find my new normal. I trust that my personal asana and dance practice will return at some point. This experience has taught me a deeper level of compassion for myself and the suffering of others.

Wanted to share one of the last pictures of my girl while we were doing yoga practice together. She is resting in the Earth wrapped in her favorite yoga blankie. Yep. That’s my girl.

Mandalas - Sacred Circles

We find these all over in nature and in man-made works of art. The circle has no beginning and no end. There is no “leader” spot.

In YogaDance, we often practice in a circle. No one is more important than another, we are all part of a whole. This is very purposeful. It defies the way much of our culture is set up (aka patriarchy). In this, we defy the systems of power and control and oppression.

Join me in the movement!

Each week this summer there is a chance to join YogaDance on Wednesdays from 6:00-7:00 pm.

This Fall, on each New Moon, I will offer workshops “Mandalas & Movement”where we will practice moving our bodies, creating mandala in various forms, and connecting to our inner “Wild Woman”. So honored to be involved in this work.

I’ve been diving in to what are the threads that run through all the work I do. Lately I’m feeling the importance of the theme of becoming more self-guided, rather than blindly following the guidance of the other.

I want to remind you of how wise you truly are.

With all of the corruption and abuses of power being wielded by those in power (whether it’s the ultra-rich, religious leaders, politicians) it can leave one feeling quite disillusioned. I realize that in some way I have a position of “power” as your teacher, if you come to my classes. I want to be responsible in this position.

And what I want to help people that come to my classes with is to become more and more self guided. To trust yourself. This is not to be confused with EGO-GUIDED. And it certainly is not, do everything I say, because I know better than you do. As best I can, I encourage you to “see what ‘x’ feels like for you.” “Move how YOUR body wants to move.”

This work is deep. And not for the faint of heart. Because we live in a world where the norm seems to be, depend on others for your answers. Look outside of yourself for the answers. Trust the experts over your intuition. (And no, I’m not saying there are not experts in every field of study.)

So with that, know that when you come to one of my classes, I’m not just teaching you exercises or moves. My hope is that I’m helping you tune in to your own inner knowing. To get to know yourself more intimately. To trust yourself more. To be your own best friend. This is the gift that yoga has been for me and my truest desire is that I can share some inkling of that with you.

Namaste friends 🙏🏼

Happy 4th of July!!!
