Happy June, everyone!
I've been looking forward to our theme for June all year. Our theme this month is: Prop It Up!

If you have ever taken a class with me, you know I love me some yoga props. Give me all the blankets, bolsters, and chairs!

Over the next 4 weeks we will explore different props used in yoga, from the classics like blocks and straps to the more avant-garde, such as resistance bands or balls.

We will learn the how and why behind using props in yoga: when to use them and how they can enhance your practice. I can't wait to share this month on the mat with you! (Also, your yoga mat counts as a prop!)

Now you tell me: What is your favorite yoga prop? Let me know in the comments!

This week is High School graduation in my town. I love graduations. I love the hope and possibility. I love the true sense of accomplishment. I love supporting students and teachers. I love learning. So it was really easy to say “yes” to supporting this fundraiser for the Student Council and Robotics Team this year. Go Rockets!!!!!

Happy Wellness Wednesday, everyone!

Each month I explore one theme in all my yoga classes, and this month the theme is: Happy Hips!

This was a request from my students, many of whom are experiencing pain or discomfort in the hips. Sadly, this is VERY common, and even I (a yoga teacher!) am not immune to hip issues.

So join me on the mat as we dive into strengthening, stretching, and even self-massage for the hips during the month of May.

Tuesdays: 7pm - Slow Flow
Wednesdays: 10am - Gentle Hatha

Beginners and Drop-ins are always welcome!

Lately I've noticed that my students are carrying a lot. Heartache, grief, family stress, work stress, physical injuries, aches and pains.

These are normal parts of being human, but that doesn't make them any any easier.

When life is physically or emotionally (or both!) intense, I try to prioritize self-care, because whenever I make time to be on my yoga mat for even 15-20 minutes, I feel SO MUCH BETTER. Mentally and physically. And that enables me to show up with more clarity of purpose, more connection, and more kindness to those around me, and even towards myself.

My students were telling me this week that for just a little while during class they could put aside the stresses that were bothering them, and they felt refreshed enough to get through the rest of their day.

It's not magic. It's just a little space and time to breathe and move and be present. That's the true gift of yoga.

If you are feeling the challenges of human life these days, I hope you'll give yourself some much-deserved TLC and join me on the mat. Drop-ins and beginners always welcome.

You have two chances each week to practice with me in-person in Reading, MA:

I recently had two students complete their 100th yoga class with me! These students are not only dedicated to their yoga practice, they are also dedicated to living their yoga off the mat. They are both active community members, doing good work in the world. I’m so blessed to be their yoga teacher.

🧘🏻‍♀️ Each month I work with a special theme for all my yoga classes, and April's theme is: We Are the Earth!

🌎 In honor of Earth Day this month, I want to dedicate our time on the mat to sensing our connection to nature. My teacher reminds me all the time that "we are not on the Earth, we are the Earth."

🌱 This sentiment inspires a lot of my work and guides my values, so in our classes this month we will embody the elements, meditate on the seasons, and explore our bond with the natural world.

You have two chances to join me in-person each week (or anytime, anywhere in my Virtual Studio!):

🗓️ Tuesdays at 7pm for Slow Flow
🗓️ Wednesdays at 10am for Gentle Hatha
