metta movement
vital distance & connection
…from my living room to yours…
pratipaksha that sh*t
my dear friend, David Lynch, is hosting a weekly online yogic symposium via ZOOM on Wednesdays from 1-2:30 pm PST : pratipaksha that sh*t
with appreciation for this act of connection & community that David is hosting, I’m serving up a supplemental Spotify playlist comprised of vibrations (by humans & non-humans) that turn me on; a curation to communicate a certain dialogue from my beautifully twisted mind, sacred heart & luminous soul (to yours, perhaps?). this playlist is a small gift of collected resonance to accompany the immense love, joy, support & compassion that is being shared & received by the global collective during this unique moment of vital distance & connection. ONS : a playlist for pratipaksha that sh*t
om namah shivaya!

A Decade : YogaWorks (08.2008-11.2018)
Today, Satur(n)day, I am sharing a very public announcement and the news of a very big transition (for me). Some of you know that I started teaching yoga in 2011, and since 2012, I have been a scheduled teacher at YogaWorks in the Los Angeles area. I have shared life changing moments, deep connections, and profoundly mundane experiences with many beautiful people (and some furry creatures, too) at YogaWorks since the summer of 2008. There has been so much learning, growing, knowing, and love to be grateful for that has brought me to this point. On Thursday, November 28, I will be teaching my last class at YogaWorks (2:30 pm, Center for Yoga), and public class for the time being. It has been a journey! Yet, life continues and I want to say thank you to everyone who has been on this journey with me. If you are able, please feel free to come by, say hello and/or practice at any of these last few classes through November. If you can’t make it to class, you know where to find me on the interwebs. I’m just a DM/comment away. This is not goodbye, but moving forward… ❤
