You can bury your head, or get out thereOur recent Snowmaggedon has got me thinking about people's tempers and patience. What I saw and what I heard were two different things. Scenario: Pre-storm. Lots of grumblings about what Mother Nature was going to dump on us or how it was inconvenient to plans and fear [...]
Homeward BoundI am here to tell you it feels so good to be back in the saddle again. To me, our class on Tuesday, felt like returning home. I hope that you experienced the same thing whether this is your first restorative class or your 100th. What we were coming back to was the reconnection [...]
It was such a beautiful guided visualization in class this week about the body lying at the edge of the surf and then transported to the ocean waters. I hope that each of you were able to relax into those moments and discover peace.You may have noticed that Carmen and I check in with each [...]
The Restore season is winding down. I can't believe that we have been going strong for 10 months now including the Retreat in December. What no Restorative yoga for two months!!?? Wait, don't fear, we will have our summer retreat at Moyo. Pencil in the date of Sunday, July 26th from 1:30-3:30 p.m. The theme [...]

FireEtherEarthWaterAirThe elements of nature. Upon further study and contemplation, I found not only are all aspects of our life created from the basic material elements of the birth of our home, the earth but aspects of our own nature and mind are made up of the qualities of these natural elements. These are called the [...]
And the beat goes on....here I am post-cleanse. I wish I could say that it was the miraculous transformation that so many have witnessed in their own cleanses. Indeed, there were micro-changes. I spent a lot of the time observing my physical reaction to limiting sugars, caffeine, processed foods and most proteins as well as [...]
Could it be March already? I think the calendar is lying as 10 inches of snow surrounds our environs and cuddles the earth in its warm snow blanket. Our restorative practice this week included many comforting, anchoring poses. Winter is the season to ground ourselves and return to protection so we can go inward [...]
Closing my eyes I transport myself to the warm greens of Costa Rica, the morning sounds of macaws, parakeets and one crazy rooster, and the ultimate sunrise which unfolded before the world everyday. I am so grateful for this trip and all that presented itself.One thing that presented itself was my impatience. As any vacation/retreat [...]
