whoosh and it's a new year! wishing you and yours a 2026 filled with peace and grace.
i've always thought that every day is a good day to begin anew. quantifying time helps, though. so in this new year, do you have goals you're working on?
i'm working on responding instead of overreacting since it's a good idea to prevent the superficial world from pushing us around. internal practices help, see below for free intro classes to our taiji school. it takes so much practice.
and, hey - lookit cheeseball me in the neat photo by tipping point photography! this is our Prince cover band, No Kings, that we put together to help raise money to support abortion rights.
here's to doing what feels authentic and right. welcome, 2026!

join me for an hour of gentle yoga and conscious relaxation (yoga nidra) at the yoga seed, sunday, jan 11, 6-7pm. break it down and peace out. no experience needed.
my first yoga nidra teacher training since i started nursing school. i'm very excited to teach this again! join me at the yoga seed, a lovely independently owned studio in chicago.
yoga nidra is a powerful practice of relaxing the body and the outer mind to access deeper layers of being. i've been passionate about yoga nidra for almost 20 years and have lead several teacher trainings.
i hope this training helps others help others. march 6-15
