Lighthouse Yoga

10/19/2026

No lights, no camera, no action on the mat this week.

While I take a little time away & fly off to celebrate a life, I encourage you to do the same in your own way.

Celebrate your life this week...the one you're living right now. The one that doesn't need to be filled with productivity, perfection or big moments to be beautiful or meaningful.

I invite you to take yoga off your mat - maybe a walk in nature, perhaps a few mindful breaths in the busyness of your day, notice a little glimmer, give gratitude or savour a tiny micro moment of joy.

And a little reminder that we don't always know what someone else is carrying. Sending love to all of those who are hurting, navigating uncertainty or dealing with something heavy, right now including some of our own Lighthouse Yoga community. You are seen, you are held, you are not alone.

Life is happening in this moment right now. Not when your 5lbs lighter, when things slow down or the to-do list is complete.

Life is meant to be lived while you're here! So take it all in, notice the beauty, the breath. Hug your people a little longer. And let yourself find a little joy or gratitude even in the middle of the messy.

I'll see you back on the mat for our Karma class: At the Pace of Presence on Monday Oct 26th 7:30-8:45pm (ET). Please RSVP & send donation before class starts.

Who knew the title would feel so serendipitous to this very moment? Sometimes the words we choose find us in ways we never could have planned. Perhaps this is a gentle reminder to slow down, be here for the life we're living & meet ourselves & each other with a little more presence.

Until then, take care of yourself & each other xoxo

Please RSVP so I can ensure you have the link or get a recording.

Our 1st monthly offering will be held Monday, Oct 26th via Zoom. All monies raised from these classes will be donated to Jumpstart. Please forward before practice begins.

This is a gentle practice & no yoga experience is needed. You can do this sitting in a chair! My intention is to hold space & guide you so that you can slow down & move at the pace of presence. You deserve moments of self-care just like these!

Thanksgiving was super tiny this year with just Pete & I around the table. But despite its size, there was so much to be grateful for.

Gratitude has become a daily practice for me, both on & off the mat. I'm grateful for my loved ones, my health & this beautiful yoga community that continues to fill my heart with connection, meaning & so much joy.

It's easy to feel grateful when life is flowing beautifully, when we're away on vacation or when we're surrounded by everyone we love.

But I truly believe gratitude lives in the
quieter, sweeter moments too. The simple, ordinary ones that are easy to overlook. Sometimes, we just need to slow down to recognize how much we already have rather than focusing on what's missing.

Sometimes the smallest gatherings offer the biggest reminders. This Thanksgiving, I'm reminded that a full heart doesn't require a full table.

Today, these are my gratitudes:

🤎 the silly, big belly laughs that Pete & I share.
🤎 FaceTime so I can connect with my family.
🤎 texts that keep me connected to my friends.
🤎 local anesthetic for my 3 crowns on Friday
🤎 Newfie jiggs dinner which I can actually eat with my sore jaws (minus the sale beef)
🤎 DQ blizzards which bring relief to my sore mouth
🤎 pop-up yoga on Saturday - a great way to start my weekend

Before this weekend draws to a close, I hope you find quiet moments of gratitude & the chance to notice all the abundance around you xo

I just got back from my morning walk & as I wandered, I found myself reflecting on this morning's class.

It was a practice centred around strength with ease. We incorporated light weights, not to push harder, but to create a little resistance. To slow ourselves down. To invite mindfulness into the experience of effort.

Partway through class, I invited everyone to choose a word that represented power & then place it at the end of an “I am” sentence. Without thinking, I offered examples: "I am strong. I am powerful.”

And now with much reflection, I wished I hadn’t. Not because those words aren’t beautiful. They are. But power isn’t only about strength.

Power isn’t only about how much you can do, how much you can carry, how much you can lift, or how quickly you can move through something. There is a softer, quieter side to power. A side that doesn’t demand force or ask you to prove anything.

Maybe power sounds like:

🍂 I am safe to soften.
🍂 I am connected to myself.
🍂 I am grounded, present & secure.
🍂 I am here. (Showing up is the hardest part).
🍂 I am steady even if I wobble.
🍂 I am supported by the earth or my community.
🍂 I am learning that gentleness & grace are forms of power. (ME!!!)
🍂 I am at ease with my unfolding.

Or perhaps it sounds like:
🍂 I am stronger than my doubts.
🍂 I am strong enough to meet this moment.
🍂 I am strong because I can return to myself.

And maybe, just maybe, the real power is knowing that we can be any of these things. Or all of these things, at the same time.

Today, may you remember that softness does not diminish your power. It may very well be one of its most beautiful expressions.

I am a work in progress & it's easy to slip back into outdated ways of thinking. I am grateful for the clarity that my walk brought to me xoxo

Join me for Slow Flow on Thursday from 9:30-10:30 am (ET).

Tomorrow, we're combining strength with ease.

Please bring along 2 weighted objects. Some suggestions are:
💪 water bottles
🧘🏻‍♀️ soup cans
💪 weights (1-3lbs)
🧘🏻‍♀️ cork yoga blocks
💪 w**e bottles

Get creative! The idea is to add resistance, slow you down & instill a sense of mindful movement.

Recordings are always available.

Distance doesn't mean disconnected. See you on the mat xo

Being from Newfoundland, I don’t think I’ve ever met a lighthouse I didn’t love. There’s something comforting about their steady presence. Through every storm & every season, they keep shining, gently reminding us of who we are. Their steady light guides us home, even when we’ve forgotten the way.

While I can't be in NL, it's kinda sweet that our cottage is in Lighthouse Cove.
