Well… turns out one Morocco retreat in 2027 just wasn’t enough!

After our April retreat sold out, I’m so excited to share that we’ve added a SECOND Morocco retreat for May 2027!

I’m feeling incredibly grateful for the response to this adventure.

So many of you joining me have travelled on retreat with me before, and it means a lot to see familiar names coming back for another experience together. And I can’t wait to welcome some new faces along the way, too.

Thank you for continuing to trust me with these adventures. I never take that for granted.

So, if Morocco has been sitting on your travel wish list and you thought you missed your chance, here's your second chance!

✨ April 2027 — SOLD OUT
✨ May 2027 — NEW DATES ADDED!

Head to my website for all the details and to save your spot.

Looks like Morocco and I have two dates in 2027.

A little grip adjustment to try in your next Dancer Pose.

Before reaching back, make sure to turn your palm outward, then take hold of the inside of your foot.

This encourages your shoulder to rotate outward and can give you more space across the front of your chest.

Try it slowly and notice how the two grips feel in your body. There’s always room to get curious in your practice.

Save this for your next time on the mat.

A little peek into how I start my mornings. ☀️

Nothing too fancy. Just a few small rituals that help me ease into the day, take a moment for myself, and feel a little more refreshed before everything gets going.

Some mornings are slower than others, and that's okay. It's not about having a perfect routine, just finding little things that feel good and work for you.

And of course, there's always a mat waiting to be unrolled. 😉

What's one morning ritual you look forward to?

Sometimes the hardest part of taking a big trip isn’t wanting to go.

It’s planning it.

Where are we staying? How are we getting there? What are we doing each day? Who am I going with?

That’s one of the things I love most about travelling on retreat.

You get the adventure, the new place and the experiences without having to organize every single detail yourself. And you get to share it with a group of people who are there to experience it right alongside you.

I’m also incredibly grateful that so many people choose to travel with me more than once. There are familiar faces joining new adventures all the time, and that means a lot.

Morocco 2027 filled quickly, so if Peru has been sitting in the back of your mind, I wouldn’t wait too long.

Bring the book that’s been waiting on your nightstand.

This weekend is for slowing down enough to actually read it.

Read, Rest & Reset is a few days of gentle yoga, quiet reading time, nourishing meals, unhurried mornings, and space to do as much or as little as you want.

You can join in, curl up somewhere cozy, take a walk, have a nap, or simply enjoy having nowhere you need to rush off to.

November 20–22 in Merrickville.

If a slower weekend sounds especially good right now, you can find the retreat details and booking through my website.

When I’m feeling a little off, these are the things I tend to come back to: a yoga class, a sauna, a filling meal, and some time outside.

And the thing I try to do less of?

Reach for my phone every time I have a quiet moment. That one isn’t always easy.

I don’t need to do all five in a day.

Even one can help me pause and feel a bit more like myself.

What’s on your quick reset list?

I love teaching yoga.

I also love a good margarita, a day when I’m not teaching, and building a business that supports the life I want to live.

Sometimes there’s an expectation that yoga teachers should practice every day, be calm all the time, and never talk about money.

ut I believe I can care deeply about this work AND want to make a good living doing it.

Yoga is a big part of my life.

It’s one part of who I am, and I think that’s true for all of us.

What’s something people might be surprised to learn about you?

10/22/2026

What if your only plan for the weekend was to slow down?

To read for a few hours without feeling like you should be doing something else.

To move gently, eat really good food, have a quiet morning, take a nap, wander into town, or curl up somewhere cozy with your book.

That’s exactly what Read, Rest & Reset is about.

Join me in Merrickville November 20–22 for a weekend of yoga, good books, nourishing meals, quiet time and space to simply be.

If late fall usually leaves you craving a little more rest, this weekend was made for that.

Details and booking are available through my website.

A little hiking. A little yoga. And a really good excuse to spend an afternoon outside.

Hike + Yoga is one of my favourite ways to bring movement, nature and community together.

We’ll head out on the trails in Gatineau Park, take in the fall air, move our bodies, and make time for yoga along the way.

You don’t need to be an expert hiker or the most flexible person in your yoga class. Just come ready to move, breathe and enjoy being outside.

Join me October 24 for an afternoon of Hike + Yoga in Gatineau Park.

Space is limited, so if this sounds like your kind of fall day, grab your spot through my website.

Apparently there are two versions of me when I travel.

When it’s just me? I’m perfectly happy figuring things out as I go.

When I’m planning a retreat for a group? Different story.

I want the details handled before you ever have to think about them — where you’re going, how you’re getting there, what you’re eating, where you’re sleeping and what the plan is if the plan changes.

Because the whole point of coming on retreat is that you shouldn’t have to organize every little thing yourself.

You get to arrive, settle in and enjoy the experience.

I’ll keep the spreadsheet.
