Here it is!! We did it! I know live calls are tough to join, so here is the recording of our live training today: Foundations of Mindfulness. I'll add this to Classroom as well (once I figure out how 😅). Please let me know if you have ANY questions at all, if you enjoyed this training and would like more on this topic, or a DIFFERENT topic.

Today we're going to have our first LIVE chair yoga class! It will be at 10am PT for about 15 minutes. No mat or yoga clothes/gear necessary. Take a 15-minute break from work to move your body and rest your mind. It will easy, light, and fun! I'll see you there!

Hello beautiful people! This group is still new and growing, but I'm kicking things into gear and working hard to grow this community so we have even more fellow mindful parents and professionals to join us in our self-care journey and support system. 💫 Couple Updates to the Group: 1. I updated the Group Name to "Yoga for Self-Care." This group name is a little more self-explanatory about what to expect to achieve when you join! 2. I updated the Group Description to: A place for busy parents and stressed-out professionals who strive for balance between practicing self-care and achieving our ambitious goals. It's a work in progress, but I think this captures who we're attracting and what we're trying to achieve. Schedule for this week!

Wednesday 10 AM PT - LIVE 15-Minute Chair Yoga - Move your body from the comfort of your chair at home or at the office. - Join me LIVE for 15 minutes of chair yoga for a mental and body break that you don't need to change your clothes for.

Hello to this beautiful, growing community! First, I want that express my sincere gratitude to you for joining this new community group. I appreciate you being here while I'm setting things up and "opening the doors," so to speak. I have a lot of great plans and ideas, and I look forward to creating a space that helps you feel balanced and able to recharge for whatever life brings you. In the coming days, I'll begin sharing content and resources that support your journey in mindfulness and yoga. But in the meantime... Tomorrow is Thanksgiving in the US. While this holiday has a long history, it has blossomed into a beautiful tradition of bringing people together and expressing gratitude for the things that matter most to us. Gratitude gets a lot of lip service this time of year. But I want to talk about what it actually does, not just in a fluffy “good vibes only” way, but in a real, physiological, nervous system-supporting way. Because when you’re juggling holiday plans, end-of-year deadlines, and daily life that’s already overflowing…“Be grateful” can sound more like a guilt trip than a lifeline. ​ But here’s the truth: Gratitude, practiced intentionally, isn’t just about being polite or spiritually evolved. It’s a tool. A reset button. A way back to yourself. In this week's YouTube video, I talk about what happens when you build a habit of pausing for gratitude (even for 30 seconds). 👉 You can watch it here on YouTube now.​ (or check it out below!👇) ​ Here’s the short list: ✅ You shift from chaos to calm​ ✅ You reconnect with you​ ✅ You make space for joy — right now ​ So, what’s the takeaway? Gratitude is more than a mindset. It’s medicine. You don’t need to write a 3-page journal entry or feel blissed out every time. You just need a moment. A breath. A real reflection of what is going right. Try it now: - Close your eyes. - Take a slow breath in through your nose. - Think of one thing — simple or profound — that you’re truly grateful for.(And yes, you can be grateful for the same thing every day. That still counts.)

I'm so excited to share this space with you 🤗 Introduce yourself here! Share where you're from and your favorite outdoor activity🌄 (photos encouraged)!
