Yoga with Puppies at a Brewery? Yes! 🐶 -

It’s been awhile since we’ve been able to get together in person, but it’s FINALLY happening. I’m teaching Pug Yoga on July 9 at a local brewery! Details are below.

It's been a really long time since I cried about the news I've had to cover. Many of you know that yoga isn't my full-time gig. I am a journalist and write regularly for major publications that vary widely. My goal, as a journalist and as a yoga teacher, however are the same: Help make the world a kinder, more compassionate, equal, and just place.
These past few weeks have been insanely difficult --on the political front, on the social justice and equality front, and once again, on violence front. America is facing down some of its darkest days thanks to the legacy of Trump, conservatives, and their hateful, violent and downright inhumane policies and beliefs. It's left me depleted, sad, angry, and afraid for my family and people I care about deeply. It's made me feel hopeless.
If you're like me and struggling to find your light, your voice or your hope, you're not alone. Last night, I taught an online class that's geared specifically towards helping you find a little bit of hope in a very dark time.
I've put the full class on my YouTube channel for those who need space to grieve, to move and to tap into their hope once again. Hit the link in my bio for more. And remember, I'm here, teaching 4 days a week, online, and holding space for those who need it. Sign up and find out more at yogafornormalpeople.com.
I hope this practice helps you find hope once again.

As we all struggle to wait for the final outcome of the election, I figured we could all use a bit of grounding, rolling around on the floor, and some good old-fashioned connected movement.

That's why I decided to offer the live class I taught this morning for free on YouTube. Head over there to check it out. And if you want to practice with me on the weekly, sign up over at Namastream (linked in the YouTube description!).

We all face uncertainty at different points in our lives, whether we're waiting for the results of a historic election, or waiting for an answer from our bos...

This morning I sat down with my teacher Kiely Wolters and Practice Yoga Austin to talk about my experience in the fantastic 200-hour training that they offer. I graduated almost five years ago from the training and absolutely cannot say enough about how amazing the experience was. I left the program feeling prepared to teach and, as many of you know, I still teach today, both in real life and online.

If you want to learn more about the fantastic training that Practice is offering totally online this coming January, check out this IGTV recording of our live session this morning.

Morning vibes in preparation for live virtual yoga starting at 9:30 am PT!
Today we'll be working on releasing tightness in the hips and belly to make room to experience more joy and calm when were facing down anxiety.
This is our seventh week of working with anxiety in our bodies and progressively and intelligently working with techniques that offer relief and space to handle anxious feelings. Don't worry if you've missed the last few weeks of practice--you can get access to the entire series by signing at the link in my bio.
I can't wait to see you on the mat this morning!

For those days when you need a little focus and pick me up, there's always yoga. Lucky for you, I happen to be teaching my last free class tomorrow morning at 7am PT with the amazing at the New Now Conference.

Hope to see you on the mat!

Always my favorite part of practicing at home--the savasana snuggles. Nothing beats them.
We're going to continue to work on managing anxiety in our bodies during Wednesday's live Zoom class this week. You'd be surprised at how much we hold onto physically, and how working through it skillfully, and gently, truly takes that anxiety away.
Sign up at the link in my bio to donate through PayPal ($3, $5, or $10) and join me at 9:30 am PT on Sept 2. Don't worry if you sign up and life happens. I'll send you a link to the class and you can watch and do it any time. ♥️
I would bet that if you show up to class on Wednesday (online) at least one of the animals will make an appearance.

I don't know about you, but Koha and Gusto are ready for live virtual yoga this morning.
I did a bit of redecorating in the yoga room last night with the help of my love and I'm so excited to teach this morning at 9:30am PT/ 12:30 pm ET.
We're going to be working on managing anxiety that's been lodged in our body--a focus for the next month or so.
Hit the link in my bio before 9:00 am PT and reserve your spot through a donation of $3, $5 or $10 for class. Even if you can't make it, I'm recording the practice and sending a private link to everyone who signs up. That way, you can do the practice on your own when you're ready.
I can't wait to see you all this morning on the mat!
