Hi 👋🏾 everyone it’s been awhile since my last post. Life has been BUSY! As a full time PA Professor, part-time PA seeing patients, a yoga instructor and business owner the winter flew by!

April 6th marked my 10 year anniversary of completing my 200-RYT Hot or Not Yoga Studio in Newport News, VA. March of this year I invested in a 30 hour teacher training .experience in NY state with and Sandy Klemmer. The name of the training was Through The Body Into The Self which makes me think of my favorite quote from the Bhagavad Gita, “Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self - to the self. “. This was SUCH a treat for me to go inward during an extremely busy work season. What an amazing extended weekend full of YOGA, education, community, and the SELF. THANK YOU 🙏🏾 Caitlyn and Sandy.

As I reflect on yoga journey, it looks different than it did 24 years ago when I started practicing at the YMCA in San Francisco, California from my RYT-200 in 2004 and Blissful Journey Yoga, LLC launch in 2019. I’m extremely grateful to the phenomenal instructors .leblanc of who have provided me with an at home practice experience for the last 3 years that’s beyond words, thank you both. I cannot to see what my yoga journey continues to reveal to me.

If you are curious about yoga, eager or fearful to try yoga, tap into my favorite quote “ Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self - to the self. “- The Bhagavad Gita. Essentially yoga is YOU! To start or continue your journey, you can find me Thursdays at 545p for Vinyasa or DM me to inquire about private and group classes.

Happy MLK Day everyone! May this quote inspire you from the late Dr Martin Luther King, Jr.

~ Never, never be afraid to do what’s right, especially if the wellbeing of a person or animal is at stake. Society’s punishments are small compared to the wounds we inflict on our soul when we look the other way. ~

I’m really looking forward to my upcoming winter AcuYoga workshop. This will my third time hosting this type of workshop, my first time hosting during the winter season. As you know, animals and some plants, use the winter season as a time to hibernate, and enter a dormant state. The winter season of hibernation for humans often appears as spending an extended period of time indoors and being inactive. This workshop will allow participants to ignite present moment awareness and physically and mentally “go within” to cultivate a winter season of relaxation and restoration. The asana practice will take you on a journey to find Santosha (contentment) and ultimately experience Ishvara Pranidhana (self-surrender) with acupuncture during savasana.

Acupuncture is a complementary therapy that can be beneficial after a yoga session. It involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body to help balance the flow of energy, or qi. By doing so, it can help reduce muscle tension and improve overall relaxation. Acupuncture has been shown to be effective in treating a variety of conditions, including pain, anxiety, and stress.

Tonight I guided students through a Humility Flow. This full body vinyasa practice included pranayama, twists, backbends, and asanas to release the ego and pride.

“True humility is staying teachable, regardless of how much you already know”. May your yoga journey allow you remain teachable on and off your mat. May your humility allow you to spread kindness, love, and joy.

Join me Thursdays 530-630p for a transformative vinyasa flow 🧘🏾‍♀️.

If you weren’t able to attend last evening’s Pride Month Community Vinyasa flow . Please consider joining me in supporting six teachers and administrators who align with, support, and have family members who are part of the LGBTQ+ community who were terminated at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Dover, NH. This fundraiser is near and dear to the owner of Guiding Tree Yoga and also to me, as I’m currently a full time Physician Assistant Educator and a part-time clinically practicing Physician Assistant. Not only do I strive to educate PA students about all things medical but also the importance of embracing diversity and inclusion when serving the healthcare needs of all.

To learn more and donate use this link https://gofund.me/93d0d957. Donations will be evenly divided between the six teachers and administrators whose employment was terminated between 5/5/2023-05/07/2023. Funds will be used to help cover their living expenses while they seek new employment, legal counsel, and any other supports they will require during this heartbreaking time.

Happy Summer Solstice!

🌞”As the sun spirals it’s longest dance, cleanse us. As nature shows bounty and fertility, bless us. Let all things live with loving intent. And to fulfill their truest destiny.” ~blessing for summer solstice

Summer is the most energizing time of the year, it’s when everything is in full bloom and we are celebrating the sun and it’s life-giving energy. This time of year is also a great time to check in with yourself-set priorities, goals, desires and give yourself gratitude.

Join me tomorrow Thursday June 22nd for a belated energizing summer solstice themed practice.
