Heart Chakra
- yoga
New week, new theme, new flow, and new tunes. This week and next, it’s the Heart Chakra, or Love. Valentine’s Day may have been last week, but it’s never too late, in my opinion, for… LOVE.

Through this energy center, we feel deserving of love just as we are. How we live our lives, leading with love and compassion, or through the opposite. This week I explore what that opposite energy may be. We are born to this life through love, into loving arms, looking into loving eyes. Then this funny thing called life happens. We experience pain, loss, heartbreak, scorn, and we learn… fear. And as always, our yoga practice is a metaphor for our lives. For me, I learned fear quite a few times, on and off the mat. I’ve had so many injuries, coming back from spinal surgeries almost three years ago. While I’ve been building back and maybe taking a pose for the first time since spinal rebuild, I am terrified! “What if?!” “I’m going to fall!” What if we face that fear in the face, explore where it originated, and go back to the first innocence of love? What happens if we face that learned automated reaction? What happens if we live through love and compassion, for others but also for ourselves, and live not through the fear we’ve learned?

We explore what this means to us, and how we feel if it’s blocked or if it’s flowing freely, and it always starts here in yoga!

Be sure to come check out class with me at the Yoganest Venice! (check my schedule page for details)! Now through February 20th through 29th, I’ll be teaching this Love themed Heart Chakra. And you can hear my playlist for this class, all about the voice on my spotify page! As always, new theme, new flow, new tunes, every two weeks! 😉

See ya on the mat!

Announcing… Ascent Nutrition
- health, lifestyle, natural, nutrition
Sunday morning comforts for me usually involve some quiet reflection, meditation, a little reading, and my coffee. I’m known for my lattes!
I met Lance Schuttler, the founder of Ascent Nutrition, a couple months ago on my retreat and I was so impressed with his products and his commitment to purity. We quickly formed a friendship and a partnership over shared beliefs and values! So now, my coffee, and a new addition, Agarikon mushroom, is a must for me! Once you taste real pure coffee, there’s just no other way to have it! Check out these amazing benefits of Agarikon, including lung, respiratory, and immune support!

Solar Plexus
- yoga
New week, new theme, new flow, and new tunes. This week and next, it’s the Solar Plexus, or our Selves.

The Solar Plexus is the chakra of our Self. “I am.” How we feel competent and capable, our self-worth, and how we pursue our purpose and passion, all flows from this energy center. And we explore it here in yoga! It’s been raining non-stop here in southern California, and we are going to shine our Solar centers so bright we call the sun in!

Be sure to come check out class with me at the Yoganest Venice! (check my schedule page for details)! Now through February 6th through 15th, I’ll be teaching this Solar Plexus Chakra. And you can hear my playlist for this class, all about the voice on my spotify page! As always, new theme, new flow, new tunes, every two weeks! 😉

This week’s theme in class… Creation
- yoga
New week, new theme, new flow, and new tunes. This week and next, it’s the Sacral Chakra, or Creation.

The Sacral Chakra is the chakra of creation, think about it, this area of our body is home to our reproductive organs. And so it’s the chakra of our sexuality and our passion. Through this energy center, we create our reality and can feel alive. We explore what this means to us, and how we feel if it’s blocked or if it’s flowing freely, and it always starts here in yoga!

Be sure to come check out class with me at the Yoganest Venice! (check my schedule page for details)! Now through January 23rd through February 1st, I’ll be teaching this Sacral Chakra. And you can hear my playlist for this class, all about the voice on my spotify page! As always, new theme, new flow, new tunes, every two weeks! 😉
