I firmly believe that yoga can be equal parts traditional and challenging, light-hearted and fun. Join me and find out just what you’re capable of.
Upcoming Classes
The rest of the country has been in a heat and meanwhile here in Western Washington, it's cold and rainy. Looks like we're going to join the heat wave party by mid week though and I am counting the minutes until I'm back on my paddle board!
I'll be teaching lots of yoga and I hope to see you in one of my classes.

Car troubles are the worst. I went to get my car washed today, and the guy who was cleaning the interior I guess left the battery running for an hour while he was working and my car died. So when he was done I went to start my car, and it didn’t start. Ugh. After getting a jump with cables, I drove to the dealership. Apparently they could sense my desperation, and even though they were closing up shop for the day, they took mercy on me and installed a new battery. overall, it was a pretty frustrating day because I actually had a lot of work to get done in my office. And that didn’t happen. Oh well, tomorrow’s another day!
Hey, what are you doing tomorrow? I’m teaching two classes: 6 AM virtual Vinyasa (Lincoln bio) and 6:30 PM in Auburn at Longevita (Hot yoga) you can sign up on their website. Only a few spots left to practice with me in person tomorrow night. Hope to see you on the mat!
Not a bad way to spend a lunch hour. Benefit of a home office ❤️ #paddleboarding #laketapps
When your hair is in the way. Oh Lord, some of my hair came out as I was trying to push into pincha and I really don’t have any to spare!

Hey all of you yogis, students and teachers, my dear friend Rebecca is doing a 26+2 workshop. I have taken this workshop with her before. It is really good. If you practice the 26+2 series, or especially if you are a teacher who dabbles in it and maybe didn’t go through formal Bikram/Ghosh training, I highly recommend it. You will get very detailed explanations of the motivation and set of priorities for each pose, both individually and how they fit into the series. Seriously, this is worth your time and money. Take it. Xoxo 💋

Always such a treat to spend the day with the crew. We did a loop around Chambers Bay golf course. I’m always in awe at how beautiful the nature is around us here. We are so lucky. #washingtonstate #pnw #getoutside
Day 8️⃣ of #BackMend with @cyogalife ➡️ #wheelpose or #urdvadhanurasana
I wasn’t sure how this was going to feel today. I was fresh off of the #peloton for a 75 minute ride, thanks to my #PowerZonePack challenge. It was a nice surprise to feel so open. I also thought that bringing the hands together like this would be more challenging than it was. I didn’t really feel a difference or any additional strain on my shoulders (which have been talking a lot lately). If you try this, let me know if you do.

Day 5️⃣ of #BackMend with @cyogalife ➡️ #FlyingCamel or #Ustrasana variant
Oh this pose is such a challenge for me! If you've never tried it, be prepared to feel your quads! This is as much about your legs as it is a backbend. I prefer the head dropped back like this instead of chin tucked, but it does make the balance trickier.

Day 4️⃣ of #BackMend with @cyogalife ➡️ #SideBend in #Vajrasana
Side bending is something I never thought I'd get better at. I remember the first time I went to a Bikram class and did that standing side bend, I felt like the tin man compared to everyone else. It's something I have worked on diligently over the last 10 years or so and now I'm really proud of my side bend. Try this variation with your hands on the wall. Warm up first, it's harder than it looks 🙂

Day 3️⃣ of #BackMend with @cyogalife ➡️ #Gomukhasana variant with #Garudasana arms. I love this version of #gomukhasana with eagle arms. It's a wonderful stretch for between the shoulder blades.
