When we feel excited about something, like riding a roller coaster, or buying a new bike, we get big bodily sensations. Our heart beats faster, palms get sweaty, laser like focus, feel jumpy or restless, speak faster or louder, get butterflies in our stomach, which are all similar bodily sensations with anxiety. Why do the symptoms of anxiety feel so uncomfortable, but when we get these sensations for something fun, the sensations feel thrilling? 

In fact, if we didn’t get these thrills in ...

What if Anxiety was our friend? 

What if Anxiety was our friend? An over-protective, sometimes annoying, but well-meaning friend, constantly trying to warn us of dangers and protect us from harm. What if this well-meaning friend makes mistakes once in awhile and warns us of dangers that are not really there? Imagine walking along a street and your friend grabs your arm and screams at you to “Watch out!!” because a car is driving at you. Your heart starts to race, your breathing speeds up...

Happy Summer Yogi’s!

It feels good to be back, to shift my focus on yoga again after a few months pause.

All the shifts and pivoting during the pandemic left me feeling more confused and uncertain to the point where I felt frozen, unable to make a decision regarding my Yoga Therapy business. Thank you to all my loyal students for your encouragement and support during this difficult year!

Now that the restrictions are starting to ease up, again, I feel like I can move forward, slowly and mind...

Feeling apprehensive or excited about practicing Yoga outdoors?

Going to a yoga class is hard enough as it inherently moves us to a place of vulnerability. 

We are pushed physically by moving our bodies in unique (sometimes intimidating) ways, stretching, strengthening, balancing, and coordinating alignment cues. 

We challenge ourselves mentally by trying to focus, concentrate, and letting go of extraneous mental busyness. We challenge ourselves emotionally by facing our fears, including our fe...

Happy November Yogi’s!

One of my favorite month’s of the year! I love how quiet everything gets when it rains (and even better when it snows!), I love wearing warm, cozy sweaters, I love my toques, I love my rain boots and slushing around in puddles like a kid! I love the storms and the reminder that everything is in flux and always changes! I love the darkness and grey as a contrast to the bright, blue sky as it “allows” me a chance to catch up on indoor activitie...

Hello Yogi’s

Its already May and we are well into Spring! If you are anything like me you have already started on outdoor projects, yard work, gardening, spring cleaning, and taking up favorite Spring sports. As much as I love all this outdoor time, it is wrecking havoc on my body and movement. Most activities tend to be one-side dominant, such as raking with the dominant arm/back, or biking that tends to make the front body contracted and the back body long and often sor...
