Thoughts from the Interview Seat
Thoughts with Love, a series At the end of August I am putting a little faux interview out there into the internet universe. I wanted to explain who I am, why I got into yoga, and why I think it’s so important to meditate – in a medium a little bit different from a blogContinue reading “Thoughts from the Interview Seat”
Thoughts from the Barbie Movie
Thoughts with Love, a series I saw the Barbie movie recently, with my best friend and my stepdaughter and her friend. We went in open minded, pink outfits on, snacks and Kleenex at the ready.

Thoughts from a Place of Healing
Thoughts with Love, a series This past week I have been working through a chakra program created by my yoga teacher, Brett Larkin, founder of Uplifted Yoga.

You can viewContinue reading “Thoughts from a Place of Healing”
Thoughts from the Upside Down

Thoughts from the Lake

WhenContinue reading “Thoughts from the Lake”
Thoughts from the Meditation Seat

Holding space for the bitter moments, and the sweet. When I left my dayjob recently, I looked out my kitchen window the morning of my lastContinue reading “Thoughts from the Meditation Seat”

Thoughts from the Mat … Garden
Thoughts with Love, A Series My personal yoga practice has been an ongoing love story, surpassing a decade. The calmness that I bring to my brand is one that has been cultivated for years.

Thoughts from the Mat
Thoughts with Love, A Series I step onto the mat, already warmed by the sun. Headphones in, I begin by swaying to the beat. Listening to the body, I know I need a deep stretch and after a couple days since weightlifting I am ready to prove to myself how strong I am. The halfContinue reading “Thoughts from the Mat”
