“LONG and STRONG” 75 min donation based yoga class!
I’ve been completely amazed at how quickly the yoga industry has pivoted to be able to offer online help and support to the community at this time.

I’ll just get straight to it – Can you be a Creative (artist/illustrator/painter/writer/knitter/songwriter/etc) and be a…
Read MorePenguins
Winter is upon us in London Town and I am NOT a fan. I thought I would share a funny conversation that happened the other night with le Husband: Warren: Yeah, I know.

It just felt like I needed to check in here. Maybe it’s to check in with whoever is reading this (hellooo? Who are you?) Or maybe it’s just to check in with myself. It’s been a mad busy summer and although I am SUPER sad to start feeling it getting that much darker in the…

Read MoreWhy we feel emotional in yoga
(this post was originally published on DoYouYoga.com) The first time I felt “emotional” (read: tears) during a yoga class was sometime around Savasana and it went a little something like this: I had absolutely NO idea what was happening and couldn’t do anything to stop it. I’d love to say that I felt “enlightened”…

Read MoreDistance Energy Healing
The further and further I go down this “yoga” rabbit hole – the more hippie weird I seem to become. It’s as if things that were a few years ago VERY foreign and “absurd” to me, are now like… totally normal. I throw words like “the universe” and “energy” around a lot. Things like “reiki” and…
