2 mins and 20 seconds with Lo Turning On the Light We are in the last few weeks of summer, and I’m excited to see many of your faces back in town soon! I just finished lighting my morning candle, holding all of you close to my heart in sacred prayer and love. Every morning for the last few months, I’ve lit my candle to honor my life and all of the lives here and in the afterlife. It invites me to sip my half-decaffeinated coffee slowly and be intentional with my day. When I l

A new week of beach yoga is here, and this one has a few teacher updates to note as you roll out your mat. Detours Along the Way, Junction Points in Life This past week, we took my dad to a neurology appointment to check his cognitive state. The appointment was a big wake-up call to the reality of life and to some of my own blind spots. When we are so close to someone, or so close to a problem, sometimes we lose clarity about the gravity of a situation. I think things are nor

Every year on August 8, many people in the New Age/Spirtual world recognize a special day called the Lion’s Gate Portal. This day is often linked to powerful energy, manifestation, and stepping into personal power by creating a future you have been working towards. But what if the real gate we need to walk through isn’t only out there in the universe? What if it’s a gate inside us, waiting for us to tune into it and use it as another tool. This post explores the idea of gates

The little spiraling leaf that could not just let go. I watched this leaf for about three minutes, hanging on by a thread. Well... a spiderweb thread. I was feeling all sorts of emotions that day. For the past week or so, I had been sitting deep in my feelings, trying to make sense of life. Anger and resentment seemed to be coming at me from every direction. I arrived at work carrying the weight of it all, and then nature offered me this unexpected gift. I stood there wonderi

My favorite limb of yoga is Niyama - Svadhyaya (self-study). The last 4 months I've immersed myself in a program of self-discovery, and I graduated! I'm so proud of myself. We began with more than 50 people, and only 22 completed the journey. It was intense and asked for us to go deep within ourselves. We dove into our childhood, and how the stories of old molded our individual ideologies. Common themes were: I'm not enough, I don't have enough, I am not safe, I am alone. Hea

Summer marks a special time for many families. It’s not just about warm weather and vacations; it’s a moment to pause and reflect on the year so far. We can deepen family connections and inspire reflection on the halfway point of 2026. Summer is the halfway mark of the year, a natural checkpoint for many people’s New Year’s resolutions. By July, some goals feel within reach, while others may need renewed focus. Traveling with family during this time offers a chance to step aw

There’s something truly magical about the way yoga and mindfulness come together. When I first stepped onto the soft sands of Naples, Florida, with the gentle ocean breeze brushing my skin, I felt an immediate connection to the present moment. It was as if the world slowed down just enough for me to breathe deeply, stretch fully, and simply be. This is the essence of mindful yoga techniques - a beautiful blend of movement and awareness that invites us to live fully in the her

Hallow Bone/ Bamboo Stick/ Clay Vessel In the Indigenous and shamanic traditions, the “hollow bone” means becoming empty of the ego, control, roles we play, titles we’ve earned, and handing yourself over to be a vessel for love or divinity to work through. I’ve heard the term used mostly by people who practice shamanism but didn’t have a direct relationship with this feeling yet. Recently, when I asked my dad about his spirituality, he told me he is nobody. This sounded troub

I am not a therapist, I am not a doctor but I am someone moving through heavy emotions that call me to face my patterns and make a shift. I am declaring through some new work I have invested myself in that I am a powerful, connected and loving woman. I am willing to be uncomfortable so that I can grow in a more loving way. When I am uncomfortable, I am brave and present to sit in the discomfort and go deeper. I don't have to prove that I understand everything immediately.

Don't water down your highest potential. Take the opportunity to be part of the medicine of the world. To see beauty where others don't. After each yoga class we express the word "Namaste" Namaste is a Sanskrit phrase derived from namah (bow, reverence) and s te (to you), literally translating to "I bow to you" or "salutation to you" . Westeners translate it simply to the light in me bows to the light in you, which is in itself still beautiful. Divinity within all: Sadhg

Conch in hand, listening to the sacred sound of existence, AUM, Amen. Water of life flowing in the background, white sand at my feet, wind spiraling around, hummingbirds flying around me. It's really a sweet moment. Thanks Maggie for the picture. Since I was gifted this beautiful shell walking the Unity Church Labyrinth last week, I have realized how deep beautiful this sacred spiral really is. The spiral represents another threshold of learning, you enter into expansio
