In 2020, let’s weave intentionality into our lives in a grounded, deep way.

29 Priceless Lessons Learned In My 20s

On May 21, 2019 I celebrated turning the big 3-0! The shift in energy is definitely present from 29 to 30, even if it’s just in my head (which, duh, everything is).

Unfolding a life long practice.

It’s like, every day, we can enter a new paradigm.  I could not conceive the place that I am internally occupying a few months ago, even last month.  Opportunities continue opening for me.

Officially A Registered Prenatal Yoga Teacher!

Well… Not really, not YET! Just like any other school or body of work you get certified in, there’s got to be a final exam, project, or assignment.

My education background in Yoga!

After completing my initial 200RYT with “the teacher’s teacher”, Annie Carpenter, I’ve continued to take workshops and immersions with my mentor in effort to complete the 500 SmartFLOW Advanced Training. In a pre/post natal workshop during her 200RYT, I completely surprised myself by discovering a deep yearning to teach Mamas, as well. I’m in the middle of completing the Mama Tree …
