Fall equinox, the halfway point between the longest and shortest days of the year, invites us to slow down, to remember gratitude and to step into our role as wise elders-in-training. This is a time for cleansing the body and the mind.
As plants are now intelligently pulling their vital energy back towards their roots in preparation for the holiness of the dark, it’s time for us to lighten our load by putting down the heavy basket of Summer obligations. Celebrating equinox is about cleansing the body and the mind.
Blindfold yoga itself is a cleanse, inviting the ego-mind to take a backseat while foregrounding the pleasure and adventure of sensation and energetic experience.
Together, we’ll mindfully strengthen, stretch and awaken our tissues with creative, juicy movement, calm the mind with breathwork and explore and embody the healing Fall archetype of the Medicine Woman within.
Suitable for all levels of experience.

Meditation is both an art and a science. It’s the art of fully conscious living actualized through a systematic process of training the mind. We train our muscles to be stronger through activity. As a result, our body is less likely to experience injury and pain. We train our minds to be stronger through meditation. As a result we experience less ‘mind pain’: anxiety, worry, overthinking, negative thoughts, self-judgement.

“Grief is a form of generosity that honors life and the people and situations we’ve lost” - M. Prechtel

In the face of global wildfires, social isolation, climate change, state sanctioned violence and unstable political shifts, 2020 has brought us much to grieve. We are all on our own grief journey, perhaps mourning a lost loved one, the loss of a job or the loss of the life we used to know.
Within the fertile soil of grief lies the seed of both personal and collective hope and renewal. Sacred grief is a communal practice- it takes a village to feel seen, held and expressed. We need each other. It’s only by learning to grieve together that we can begin the build a bridge of hope.
Yoga helps us to ground and create more space around the experience of challenge, unclogging stuck emotions from our body-mind that we might liberate our precious life force.
Join me and Eve Fine, MFT, for a virtual Yoga + Grief Medicine Circle, a benefit for the California Wildlife Relief Fund, on October 18th from 4-6pm for gentle yoga, authentic sharing and cleansing ritual.
Location: Zoom

Where the lush jungle meets warm sand, where monkeys play just above lapping waves, our beach house oasis is the site of an epic experiment in the yogic science of alchemy. What happens when we combine daily yoga & meditation, healing food, conscious community, crystal blue ocean, white sand beaches, laughter & jungle adventures while practicing techniques for infusing our lives with greater sense of gratitude, purpose & ease?
A one minute jungle walk to three pristine miles of white sand beach is the site of our temple oasis. When we aren't exploring our body-mind on the mat or playing in the world class waves that accommodate both pro and novice surfers, relax in a hammock underneath the shade of the open aired Rancho lined with beautiful teak wood, take some laps in the pool or enjoy the abundant local culture of 'pure vida' (pure life!).
Optional adventures and lessons include surfing, kayaking, paddle boarding through the jungle on the Nosara River, adventurous ATV rides to waterfalls, or soaring from peak to peak over the jungle on one of the world's longest zip-lines!
A portion of proceeds will be donated to the Nosara Refuge for Wildlife.
Yoga understands the core as the home of the fire element & tapas, a source of transmutation that can burn away distraction from the path of our highest potential. Misunderstandings of what "the core" is abound in modern pop & fitness culture, often causing more harm then good.
Using the intelligence of the body and contemporary science, we explore how healthy movement that emanates from our center outward, both in our yoga practice & daily life, inherently brings greater confidence, connection and ease. Learning from the Goddess of Fierce Compassion herself, Kali, we explore how 'moving from our center,' even in the midst of challenge,translates to an increased sense of emotional balance, clarity of purpose and compassion for yourself & others.

The yogis and other earth-based traditions believe that all things, including the physical and emotional body, consist of a combination of five elements: Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Space. The possibility of inner freedom is realized by becoming skillful artists and alchemists, making these tools our own rituals of self-care that allows us to show up fully in the world.
This five month journey is a soulful exploration of alchemizing the five elements of our bodies through movement, breath, meditation, myth and mantra. Creative flow yoga, meditation and esoteric practices are the platform for diving into a deeper understanding of your body-mind, your unique path and the meaning behind yoga postures, yoga alignment, universal archetypes and myths of the yogic goddesses and their system of esoteric anatomy, the chakras.
I'm honored to team up with internationally known Sound Healer, Amber Field, for a series of healing events on the First Friday of every month. Juicy yet gentle yoga flow to rejuvenate your body at the end of your week. Amber will play the digeredoo over your heart as you surrender in restorative postures
Stretching the front body and awakening the strength of the back body was acknowledged by the Yogis the somatic recipe for cultivating an open heart.
When practiced safely and mindfully backbends are the antidote to our hunched over culture. They have the power to unwind tension, resolve back pain and inspire a sense of joy and fearless openness. Misaligned, they have the capacity to cause pain, injury and limit the progression of our yoga practice.
In this summer asana clinic we'll explore how to keep the legs, hips, arms and shoulders alignedand connected to the earth, so that the spine can unfurl, lengthen and radiate. Appropriate for all levels.
