My yoga journey started in 2005 when I stepped foot in a cute little hot yoga studio in Plymouth.

At that time, classes were 90 minutes long, the room was super hot, the humidifier kept it tropical, the floor was carpeted and there were mirrors. As the end of the first class approached, I was already hooked!

The owner of the studio, Mary, quickly became my teacher, mentor and friend. In 2006, Mary approached me and asked if I had ever thought about being a yoga instructor. My first gut eaction, and what I told her, was “Oh, hell no! I could never get in front of people and teach.”

I continued to practice several days a week. During class, when I got quiet, the idea of teaching kept coming up. Mary had planted a seed.

Could I really do it? Why was I resisting?

I loved yoga and how it made me feel both physically and mentally. Why wouldn’t I want to share that with others? The truth was that I wanted to share it with others but I was scared.

Fear was holding me back.

After a couple of months, I began to warm up to the idea of teacher training. I still had fear but figured if Mary had confidence in me, there just might be something there and I needed to embrace it.

Really, what’s the worst thing that could happen?

Spend the money on the training and never teach? Even if I decided not to teach, the training would enhance my personal practice. I would be investing in myself. Well, now that’s something I hadn’t done before.

After about 6 months of long drawn out discussions with myself, I decided to go for it. After class one day, I went to Mary and said, “So, about this teaching thing. What do I need to do?”

Happy August 1st! 🌟 It’s Leo season (for all the astrology peeps), and that means it’s time to channel your inner lion. Yep, you heard us right! :)

This time of year is all about embracing your courage, creativity, and passion—think bold, think brave, think unapologetically YOU (sorry not sorry type of vibe)!

If you aren’t familiar with astrology talk, don’t worry, we’ve got you. ⬇️

Here is what you need to know. Leo season is a reminder to step into the spotlight of your own life. It’s about roaring with confidence, shining brightly, and allowing yourself to be seen and heard.

Whether you’re setting new goals, taking on challenges, or simply expressing your truth (and being radically honest with yourself), now is the time to do it with heart and soul.

If you are interested in learning a few ways to make the most of this fiery season head to our stories and read more from our monthly newsletter! 👏👏

Before you dive into the hustle of the day (and week), take a moment to breathe. Yep, right now. Inhale deeply, exhale slowly.

Today, let’s set a simple intention: to feel good. Not in a cheesy, superficial way, but in a real, grounded way that resonates with you.

What does feeling good look like for you today? Maybe it’s taking a five-minute break to stretch, sipping your favorite tea mindfully, or just smiling at a stranger.

Remember, living yoga isn’t just about the poses we practice on the mat; it’s about the small, intentional choices we make throughout our day. So, let’s make today about choosing to feel good, in whatever way that means for you.

Words from the Prime Minister of India on , “Yoga is an invaluable gift from our ancient tradition. Yoga embodies unity of mind and body, thought and action ... a holistic approach [that] is valuable to our health and our well-being. Yoga is not just about exercise; it is a way to discover the sense of oneness with yourself, the world and the nature.”

Summer Solstice is here – the longest day of the year, and honestly, it’s a reminder to soak up all the damn light we can.☀️

This isn’t just some woo-woo holiday; it’s a powerful time to check in with ourselves and our lives.🫶

The sun’s out there doing its thing, blazing and unapologetic. It’s a cue for us to do the same. Take a minute to think about where you are right now. What’s lighting you up? What’s dragging you down?

Here’s a no-BS guide to making the most of this day:

✔️Get Outside: Ditch the screens for a bit and get into the wild. Whether it’s a run, a walk, or just sitting in the sun, reconnect with the world around you.

✔️Set Real Intentions: Forget the fluffy stuff. What do you really want? Write it down, say it out loud, and commit to making it happen.

✔️Ground Yourself: Touch the earth, literally. Walk barefoot, hug a tree, whatever it takes to feel that solid ground beneath you. It’s grounding, and we all need that.

✔️Celebrate Honestly: No need for forced smiles or fake joy. Do what makes you genuinely happy. Spend time with people who get you, and let loose.

Let’s use this solstice to get real with ourselves. Embrace your light and step into your power.😊

Meet one of our beloved teacher’s, Julie Thour! You will always find her at the studio on Monday, teaching both heated hatha at 9:30 am and our restorative class at 7 pm. Julie shares that she loves yoga because “It helps me cultivate kindness, love and calm - added bonus it’s really good for my physical body”. Her focus while teaching is breath, presence, and not taking yoga too seriously. She often brings fresh eggs from her family’s farm for the community. We ❤️ Julie!
