Happy New Year!

September signifies the start of new beginnings and after playing like a grasshopper over the summer I look forward to returning back to my classes and schedule in the fall.

I am so grateful and feel so blessed to be able to share this wonderful practice and look forward to reconnecting with my wonderful students and the “routine”.

Most of my home regular ...

I found this an interesting article on the benefits of yoga as a practice for those with cerebral palsy.  I like the fact that it emphasizes adaptive yoga, chair yoga and highlights the benefits of mindfulness and meditation.

2016: A Year in Review….

2016 was certainly a very challenging year for many of my friends and family. Compared to many, I had a pretty good year. There was just a feeling of some areas being stalled or in inertia. It was also a sad year as we had to put our Odin down after 19.5 years.

I’ve had a really great summer.

Summertime. A shift in priorities & perspectives.

Generally, I love/need routine and order in my life (I don’t even like messy hair on me) – but also enjoy a break from it.

Still happily teaching my classes at Adi Shesha Yoga Zone and some corporate/privates, but taking some time to make family/friends a little more important.
