Every.Single.Time

Join me as I practice peace during a snow storm. I encourage you to actually set aside time to join me! Your body will be grateful that you took time to interact within.

❄️ Enjoy ❄️

Yoga in the Snow Join me as I do a yoga practice in the snow! Snow is so peaceful, and I found this practice to be soothing despite the cold. Let me know if you want more Sno...

❄️ I had fun with this one! I had a few extra minutes in my snow day, so I decided to record a quick video. I am working on the audio editing, but I am excited to share this one! ❄️

And yes. You better believe there will be a snowga reference in there.

Start your year off right with a yoga practice on the mountain!

Here is a practice I recorded a few months back. This is a pretty beginner friendly practice.

15 minutes of yoga a day is a great goal for 2024. That's the length of this video.

Mountain Top Yoga Join me as I do a yoga practice on top of Flat Rock, a popular Vista in Pennsylvania.

🤣 Stay home and do yoga instead!

Happy New Year!

A year ago, I started keeping a log of how many minutes of yoga I would do daily. The previous few months had been quite hectic, and I got off my daily practice.

So, I had a goal. 11 minutes a day, every single day. That goal was doable, as all types of NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS should be.

Now, if you aren't a N.Y. Resolutioner, I respect that. But I am! And I always love thinking ahead to the growth I want to see within the next year.

I realized yesterday that I started keeping track of the year early on the 22nd of December. The thought was, if you have some more time around the holidays (which some may or may not have obviously), why not start early? It fit my life at the time.

The year brought about seismic shifts in my personal life, but I stuck to my practice. When I got on the mat, my sole priority was pain relief for that day. That means I sat on the mat in child's pose a lot. I slowed down to breathe in a seated position and let my mind rest. I simply listened and reacted.

And the key is, I did it every day. I'm thrilled to say I practiced on average 34 minutes of yoga every day this past year! That's 12,279 minutes, almost 205 total hours.

This was my hope for 2023 working within, and I can't wait to see what 2024 brings.

What a spectacular spectrum of autumn colors. I went for a 16 mile section hike of the Tuscarora, and though the rocks were horrendous, the views made up for it all.

I was doing yoga throughout the trip to keep my body from totally hating me. 🙃

First Tyoga class in Carlisle is THIS Tuesday (5/9)! We will be starting where every yoga pratice should start . . On restoration! Starts at 7:00, this is a 50 minute class.

PM for address.

Been a little busy everyone. But soon we will be having yoga classes again! I'm teaching a class in my sunroom in Carlisle on May 9th! More details to come, but stay tuned.

I hope to see you!

We will be having yoga this evening! 6:30 in Perry county. Mats available if you don't have one! See you tonight!

Being refreshed by a yoga practice is like standing close to a warm fire. Your body may ache, but once you start stretching your muscles melt into a relaxing state kind of like how a fire warms the body on a chilly evening.

You can come warm up at our next Yoga class happening this Tuesday (9/27) at 6:30. Class is held in the basement of the Landisburg Church of God and costs $12.

Yoga mate available if you don't have one!

A beautiful September sunset.

We WILL be having yoga this coming Tuesday September 27th at the Landisburg Church of God! Class starts at 6:30.

Feels like it has been a while and I hope you can make it out!

A rainy evening on the porch.

The past few days have been busy and hectic and I haven't been doing as much as yoga I want, BUT IT IS OK. A life long journey is going to have days weeks, months even where your rhythm is off. Doing yoga for a few minutes a day is enough to keep you rooted in the practice as life's waters throw you around.

NO YOGA Tuesday!

Here is a throwback Thursday for you! This was just over two years ago. I had been doing yoga for about five months. This seated meditation pose I am in here was very difficult for me and this was one of the first times I was able to withstand it comfortably.

We all have to start somewhere, that's just a plain fact. Don't be discouraged or distracted when you are in a tough situation and it seems that absolutely no progress is being made. If we are consistent enough change will occur.

You just have to get on your mat often and trust that for a few moments you are worth the effort.

We will NOT be having this coming Tuesday! Stay well!

Another view from the Tuscarora Trail. I went backpacking there last week and it was delightful! The woods were quiet and glorious. The second picture features my makeshift yoga block! 😳

Sorry to say, but we will NOT be having yoga on Tuesday September 13th. 😔 We will be out of town.

But, you can plan on Tuesday September 27th! That will be at 6:30 at the Landisburg Church of God.

Always a good reminder.

Another reminder: yoga tonight! 6:30 at the Landisburg Church of God. Any questions, please let me know!

See you there!

We will be having another yoga class this Tuesday (8/30) at 6:30 at the Landisburg Church of God. We will be reconnecting with our bodies and our minds.

I look forward to our time together!

A snapshot of an evening session the other night. I just love listening to crickets this time of year as well as the all the other summer sounds.

Next Tuesday's yoga class will be themed around reconnecting. I'm looking forward to the very first pose that night!

That class is Tuesday August 30th at 6:30. Class takes place in the basement of the Landisburg Church of God. The class is $12.

I hope this post finds you well!

Our sweet Willa loves when it is harvest time! This is not quite all of our first picking. We always have plenty of tomatoes.

With that said if you want any tomatoes, let me know!

What is your favorite yoga pose?

A practice under the full moon the other evening. I love doing yoga out in nature. This was a cool, refreshing evening a few nights ago and the moon brightened up everything. Moments like these make me happy I do yoga wherever (and whenever) I choose!

Since our last class, gratitude has rung throughout my heart. I am so thankful for my students and their willingness to show up for themselves! It can be a hard journey, but these classes are a time of celebration with our yogi brothers and sisters.

There will be another yoga class happening Tuesday August 30th at 6:30 in Landisburg. Message me if you have any questions! Free yoga mats available if you do not have one. This class is $12.

I gratefully look forward to that next stop on the journey with you!

A refreshing soak in warm sun the other (somewhat) chilly morning.

There is a yoga class this Tuesday at the Landisburg Church of God. Starts at 6:30 and all are welcome!

If you think yoga isn't for you, I understand, but hear me out. I really think YOU could benefit from simply noticing your breathing. Intermix that with some movement and motion and you are on your way to a lovely time . . . seriously! Beginners are always welcome to try it out!

So I hope to see you Tuesday evening at 6:30!

Sometimes you don't do yoga (for multiple days 😶) and you go for a walk instead. But then you get stuck in your own head that walking "is not good enough". The last few days have been a little harder than normal and going for a walk has given me something to do to keep Charlie entertained while also getting out myself. However, I wouldn't lie to you if I said that these instances make me feel like I'm not doing my best.

But take heart! If we do what is available to us on a daily basis and we trust that the negative thoughts we tell ourselves are only hindering us, we might just be heading down a long road of transformation.

A baby step is still a step! Never let your ideals dissuade you when adversity knocks.

Just. (Sometimes. Slowly). Keep. Going.
Take a breath and read that again.

With that said, I am excited to be leading another yoga class next week! It will be in the basement of the Landisburg Church of God at 6:30. The date is Tuesday August 16th and the class will be $12.

I really look forward to celebrating life through yoga with you all then!

A beautiful morning the other day.

I'll be leading another yoga class at the Landisburg Church of God August 16th at 6:30.

I've heard inquiries from lots of folks asking if this yoga is accessible and doable. I make it a goal of mine to make sure every person in class feels like they are in control of the movement. These motions can explored in a controlled space that fits your body's pace!

If you even have the slightest curiosity, I encourage you to come check it out!

There is a yoga class happening tonight! Hope to see you there!

Class is at Landisburg Church of God and starts at 6:30.

You can reach out and message me if you have any questions.
