My heart is shattered into a million pieces💔
Today we said goodbye to our beloved Lola, at home, on her favorite couch, surrounded by the people who loved her most.
For years, she lived with a devastating disease, but she never let it define her. She faced every challenge with quiet courage and never stopped filling our lives with joy.
Lola was made of love. She changed us. She taught us how to love more deeply, how to be softer, and how much happiness can live in the smallest everyday moments. She was also a beloved part of my yoga community. She greeted every student with kisses, made everyone feel welcome and truly believed it was her very important job. She welcomed hundreds of students over the years and I know many of them walked through my door looking forward to seeing her just as much as they were looking forward to seeing me. For nine unforgettable years, she was our family, our constant companion, our emotional support, and such a huge part of our home and our lives.

I don’t know how to begin learning to live without Lola. But I know how incredibly lucky we were to have her, to love her, and to be loved by her.
Goodbye my beautiful girl. You were so deeply loved, and you always will be ♥️😭

People often tell me I don’t look 54 and of course it’s nice to hear. But lately that’s not what I’ve been thinking about.

I’ve been thinking about energy.. And only now am I truly beginning to understand its value. The very thing we give away so easily when we’re younger because we assume there’s always more of it. And then one day you realize there isn’t.

After fifty a different kind of awareness arrives. You begin to realize that life is not endless. I work with older adults in rehabilitation centers and I see it every day.

That’s where I learned that our greatest wealth is not money or possessions. It’s time. And energy.

And I’ve become much more careful about where I spend both.

On people who leave me feeling drained. On conversations that aren’t genuine. On places I don’t really want to be. On trying to be everything for everyone.

I have regrets. When I was younger, I gave my energy away too easily. I said yes when I wanted to say no. I did things because they seemed right, because they were expected, because they looked good from the outside.

Recently I found myself thinking about how many women spend years living for everyone else while slowly forgetting themselves. Always giving, always adjusting, always pleasing. And one day they no longer recognize what brings them joy.

As I’ve gotten older, I care less about seeming and much more about being.

Being around people who allow me to be myself. Being where I can breathe. Being honest with myself. Not wasting precious energy on things that don’t nourish my soul.

Maybe that’s one of the gifts of getting older. Realizing that you don’t have to be everything for everyone. And finally giving yourself permission to live your own life.

Funny how in yoga we talk so much about calm and then one little thing repeated 10 times can test all your patience 😅
But honestly, patience is part of the practice. Nothing clicks right away. It’s step by step, breath by breath. You show up, you try again, and slowly it starts to come together. That’s the magic of yoga. It’s not about getting it perfect, it’s about staying with it. If you keep showing up, you will get better. Always!

What we built in this studio is more than a yoga class, and even more than a community. It’s a space where likeminded people find each other, support each other through hard times, celebrate each other’s victories, and always offer a helping hand when it’s needed.
This is what makes me the most proud, not just teaching yoga, but being part of creating a place where people truly care for one another. A space filled with trust, warmth, and real connection. That, to me, is the real practice 🙏

You can have the most beautiful yoga room, perfect lights, candles, and all the details, but what truly fills the space is people.
The real magic comes from the students, their energy, their presence, their willingness to show up fully. That’s what makes a room feel alive.
One of the reasons I became a teacher is because yoga taught me what it means to be truly present. Not thinking about yesterday, not worrying about tomorrow, but being fully here, in this moment, in this room.
Presence is one of the greatest gifts yoga gives us.
To breathe, to feel, to connect and to remember that sometimes, simply being here is enough

I remember once in a yoga class the teacher asked us to close our eyes, make a wild wish, and whisper it into our hands. Something that maybe feels impossible.

To my own surprise, I whispered “One day I want to be a yoga teacher”

At that time I had worked as an accountant for 25 years. The idea felt almost silly. On the way home I was even smiling to myself thinking, what a crazy thought.

And yet here I am. Years later I’m doing what I love the most. I teach yoga, I see people getting stronger, calmer, happier. I work with kids, with older students, with beginners who think they’re “not flexible enough.”

So if you ever feel like you’re too late to start something new , trust me, you’re not. Sometimes the smallest whisper can change your whole life.
