So excited to have this yin yoga training completed to help round out my teaching offerings! Many thanks to YogaRenew for making CE/professional development accessible!

True rest, like practicing yoga nidra, looking at the sky, or being in nature (vs scrolling or numbing out on social media or TV)....can prompt deep healing and rebalancing of the system...so we can come home to our true selves.

🩷New week, fresh energy, peaceful mind. 💗

Today is Global Yoga Therapy Day. I'm listening to incredible speakers/presenters on the International Association of Yoga Therapists' webinar today.

I found this short article quite fascinating---much of it resonated at least for me & my own midlife experience thus far.

Radiance Begins Where Performance Ends: Why Chakra Psychology Matters for Women in Midlife - Yoga Chicago For decades, high-achieving women have been taught to interpret the changes of midlife through a narrow biological lens. When desire fades, when energy collapses, when emotional resilience thins, the explanation offered is almost always hormonal. Estrogen drops. Testosterone shifts. Progesterone cha...

🙏 Our hearts are with the people of Venezuela following the devastating earthquakes that struck on the evening of June 24, 2026. The powerful back-to-back tremors have brought immense suffering to countless individuals, families, and communities, leaving many grieving, injured, displaced, or still waiting for news of their loved ones as rescue efforts continue.

During this time of profound hardship, we offer our deepest prayers, loving-kindness, and compassion to our brothers and sisters in Venezuela. We hold especially close in our hearts those who have lost family members and friends, those anxiously awaiting the safe return of loved ones, and the courageous first responders and volunteers working tirelessly to rescue survivors and bring hope to those in need.

At Walk for Peace, we believe that compassion knows no borders. When suffering touches one part of our world, it reminds us that we are all members of one human family. In moments like these, every prayer, every act of kindness, and every helping hand becomes a light of hope for those walking through darkness.

May all who are suffering find strength, courage, and comfort in the days ahead. May those still awaiting rescue be found swiftly and safely. May healing come to every family, every community, and the entire nation of Venezuela.

Today, wherever you are, we invite you to pause for a moment of prayer, meditation, or loving-kindness for the people of Venezuela. Together, through compassion and unity, we can help bring hope to a world in need.

"May all beings everywhere be free from suffering, be healthy, be safe, be peaceful and at ease in body and in mind."

With compassion,
Walk for Peace

I've been trying to squeeze in my yoga early in the AM while my parents are still in bed and before caretaking starts for the day for human and fur baby family, lol! Lobo often joins me and I'm so lucky to have a room with this view as I practice. This AM I saw chickadees and chipmunks scrambling thru the trees...fantastic nature signs.

Been a rough few weeks, with some precious moments in between...celebrated my mom's 80th but she was hospitalized shortly after with pneumonia. Deeply grateful to be here with my mom (and dad) as her recovery has been slow. Also grateful for my brother Lobo who takes care of me while I care take ❤️ 💕and helps me do my daily yoga (which keeps me going in these challenging moments)...and to spend some time with my beloved human siblings, lol, and precious nieces and nephews.

So grateful to YogaRenew for the accessible array of education options they provide in the yoga-related world!

So lucky to have Sully back this past weekend as my yoga assistant!
