Enjoy deep relaxation and healing tomorrow evening!

Just a reminder that I’m offering a Candlelight Yoga Nidra session tomorrow evening at 6 p.m. These are wonderful opportunities to experience deep relaxation and energy healing for a really low price (just $6 for Patreon subscribers with coupon code PATREON5OFF). I chose to have this session tomorrow because it corresponds with the big Saturn/Uranus square and the sun’s ingress into Pisces ...

This is an audio-only session. Relaxing with headphones or a speaker is recommended.

New Moon Forecast for 2/11/21-2/27/21 *UPDATED*

The theme of this time is conscious choice. My guides have been giving me a lot of messages around how and why we make our choices. For example, there’s nothing wrong with making a safe choice that feels comfortable — but was it made out of fear? In the opposite energetic spectrum, making a bolder, more vulnerable choice can feel invigorating — but was it made out of a ne...

You are amazing

This meditation begins by simply feeling and observing your subtle energy and vibration before transitioning to a mudra meditation for radiance and prosperity. Love yourself and feel the awe of being in awareness of self. <3

Candlelight Yin & Restorative for the New Moon

*Deep breaths* It seems like we’re all going through some interesting experiences lately, and this new moon will be an Aquarian party. With the moon, that will be SIX planets in Aquarius, and approaching the Saturn/Uranus square during mercury retrograde, it will be an adventurous ride for sure. ;-)

This 90-minute virtual session on Thursday will occur exactly during the new moon phase ...

Morning practice to awaken your light

Shift and uplift

Looking to shift your energy and vibration? Then you’ll love this practice, which utilizes postures that shift our usual habits to create space and realignment. This practice includes seated butterfly, supported side bends, supported sphinx, child’s pose variation, winged dragon (low lunge), and deep twisting. We end the practice with a short shavasana and affirmation to uplift your mood. 2021-02-07 16:41:30 +0000 UTC View Post

Curated playlist for the frequencies of LOVE

This is my latest playlist (and definitely one of my favorites) that is themed around self-love, forgiveness, surrender, and the water element. I personally use Spotify for my playlists, but feel free to recreate with the streaming platform of your choice. <3 

I have been using this for movement-based yoga practices, but it could be nice for restorative and yin at well.

Today’s class recording

Hi everyone! It was good to see all who were able to participate in this morning’s Shakti Empower Hour. Unfortunately Mercury Retrograde offered me a technological snafu, and the video recording seems irreparable. I attempted to splice and piece it together, but even then the quality is poor. I must have been having some WIFI issues.

Anyways, I apologize for not having a recording to up...

New book club for February!

This is one of my favorite books of all time. I remember discovering the late John O’Donohue through the poem “Beannacht,” which is the Gaelic word for “blessing.” When I made my first marketing postcards for yoga, I placed that poem on the back, and often read parts of it during classes. (You’ll find that poem on the insert of this book.)

Then one day, several years ago when ...

Fluid and flexible

Tap into the element of water for fluidity, flexibility, replenishment, and intuition. If you’ve been feeling tight and creaky lately — then this is your practice. Put aside any need for things to be a certain way and move your body with ease and grace. We begin with a seated chakra clearing exercise, followed by sun salutation A, standing postures (warrior II, triangle), low lunge, pigeon,...

Full moon healing for nourishment, light, and protection

Relax, close your eyes, and allow yourself to be guided in this audio healing (23 minutes). 

Full moon forecast for Jan. 28 to Feb. 11, 2021

There is a lot of Mars energy with this full moon, as the sun is beginning to make a square to Mars, which will be exact in the beginning of February, and the moon will square Mars tomorrow just after the exact full moon. This will activate some of the Mars/Uranus energy we experienced mid-January. AKA in non-astrological terms — this might continue to show up as inconveniences and di...
