If you are interested in some accountability, let me know, and who knows, we might be starting the next trend!

Since I don't drink alcohol, Dry January doesn't apply to me, but the idea of reducing my consumption is something that I am interested in being challenged by as we start the New Year!

I thought about what would be hard for me, and I decided I had been shopping a bit too much for my liking and had decided to only shop for groceries for the whole month of January.
I will only buy food/cleaning supplies and nothing else like makeup, hair products, lotions, herbs, books, props, essential oils, clothing, or anything else I usually sneak into my cart!
I also promise to delete everything in my Amazon cart and will not fill it up with things, so I go on a shopping binge in February.

I am inspired by someone I saw on Instagram who decided not to shop for a year and to record what happened. I don't think I could go that long, but why not give it a try and see what happens?
I will have to recognize some of my tendencies to shop, but this year, I embody an intention of creation! If I am creating with all the knowledge I have acquired over the past ten years of study, why not focus on the output instead of continuing to consume?
Is anyone interested and willing to declare a shopping-free January with me? If so, let me hear you say you are in!

Come out on the water this Saturday for a 9am Stand Up Paddleboard Yoga class at Marsh Creek State Park. I have all that you need for the class, all you need is an interest to try something new for the first time ever or the first time this season!

Paddle Board Retreat this Summer in July at the Himalayan Institute.

How Will You Be Outside and Playing This Summer? Come to the Poconos and get outside to play on land and in the water for my first paddle board retreat!

Summer is over and the Fall is on its way in whether we are ready or not. Having some free time to take things down a notch, spending time with family, having vacation time to go and explore feeds our soul, brings joy and connection!

Now that we had our fun, it is time to get back to school, back to work and get everyone back into a routine! I find when September rolls around, I refocus my goals for the rest of the year, make a list and take my first step forward.

This will be a very busy season for me teaching in quite a few places and I will share more on this in the coming days!

In my home studio in West Chester, I will be offering two Vinyasa Yoga Class Sundays at 9:30 am and also Tuesday Mornings at 9:30 am beginning this Sunday September 11th in the studio.

I am excited to welcome you all back into a space that I have created that is open to all backgrounds and levels of practice. If you are new to the practice of yoga, come and give the space a try. There is a new student special of $15 dollars a class!

If you are returning, I am excited to hear all about your summer and what you have been up to! Here is the link and I look forward to connecting with you on the mat!

Spring Time is amazing as we shed the layers of clothing that kept us warm and dry throughout winter and spend more time in daylight and hopefully outdoors. In the Vedas , the ancient teachings, in Yoga and Ayurveda, the Science of Life, it is also a time to change our diet, daily habits and maybe how we move our bodies. In April at Whole Body Wellness and Yoga, I am adding a class on Wednesday's at 9:30 who will be taught by Sara Impriano. She is a teacher with depth and intention in her teaching and how she holds space for the students.

This Sunday will be our Sound Bath Yoga Class starting at 9:30 and is 75 minutes long. There will be movement, breath, stillness in an open community that is welcome to all levels and backgrounds.

Happy New Year!
In this uncertain time, the one thing I know is that I need time on my mat to make sense of what is happening around me. The time on my mat is for reflection, downgrading my emotions and feelings and to be present in the moment. If this sounds like an experience that you are craving then come and try a class in my studio. The atmosphere I have tried to create is one of openness to all who wish to have a place to explore, play, enjoy, feel grounded, supported, and a little bit lighter in spirit when then leave!
You can mask with no judgement if that works for you and if you are vaccinated you can choose to unmask. I have the classes set at 8 participants to give everyone space to feel safe in the studio.

If you are new to the practice and just not sure where to begin, please reach out to me and let's talk about your intentions and I will offer my suggestions for a place to begin.

It is that time of year that I love- Friends and Family at Athleta Glen Mills!
I am hosting a shop party this Thursday from 6:30pm-8:30 pm.
Come into the store, we can shop together and a gift to you - 20% off your total purchase!
