Flowing with Faith

Mercury Retrograde must be in full swing... 🙃

I didn't even realize I took this photo until I found it in my camera roll later.

A Sideways yoga mat.
A backward perspective.
An accidental snapshot.
Half my feet.
Random yoga props.
No memory of taking it.

Checks out.

The last few weeks have been a little upside down around here. Between the Solstice schedule, travel, being under the weather, and taking some time to recover, life has been asking me to slow down and listen, but I'm happy to be returning to my regular morning classes and being back on the mat with you this week.

If life has felt a little backward lately, you're not alone. Let's come together, move, breathe, and find our center again. Morning free/donation based Yoga with me at Lifted Lotus Yoga returns to our regular schedule this week:

🧘 Thursday | 9:30 AM
🧘 Friday | 9:30 AM

See you on the mat. ✨

There’s something about setting up a room before people arrive. The quiet. The intention. The reminder of *why* I do this in the first place.

Last week at the veterans retreat, I had the opportunity to lead chair yoga overlooking Lake Tahoe, and as I arranged each chair, my "why" hit me again:

“To help people get out of their minds and back into their bodies.”

That mission matters deeply to me, especially in spaces where accessibility, nervous system support, and feeling safe in your own body truly matter. So much so that I came home and immediately started my Accessible Yoga certification program.
(Yes, yes… major life decisions within two weeks of a retreat. Apparently this is who I am now. 😂)

This week’s classes remain free/donation-based because yoga should be accessible to every body - every age, every ability, every season of life.

No pressure. No perfection. Just a place to land.

🧘‍♀️ Thursday & Friday Morning Yoga 9:30am!

I’ll also be gone again next week, but Lacey will be filling my seat while I’m away and taking great care of everyone. 🤍

Rooted. Resilient. Rising. 🌳

Feeling extra honored this month as I get to lead at Lifted Lotus Yoga as our resident Veteran instructor on Armed Forces Day, before heading out to Lake Tahoe for a week-long all-women Veterans retreat, and on Memorial Day as soon as I return! 💙

Happy Mother's Day 💓💐

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at Lifted. 🤍

Today we celebrate the women who nurture, guide, hold, support, protect, love and keep showing up again and again — often quietly, often tirelessly, and always beautifully.

To the moms, grandmas, stepmoms, chosen moms, dog moms, future moms, grieving moms and the women learning how to mother themselves with more compassion… we see you.

Yoga teaches us that love is presence.
A hand to hold.
A deep breath together.
A reminder that we were never meant to do this life alone.

Thank you for being part of this beautiful community and for making Lifted feel like home week after week. We can’t wait to move, breathe, laugh and practice with you again this week through our regular donation-based classes, park offerings and upcoming special events. 🌸 Tap the link below or in our bio to see the schedule and sign up…

Happy Mother’s Day, Lifted family.
Your mat is always waiting for you here.

The energy of the waning gibbous moon invites us to soften, reflect, release, and slow our pace just enough to hear ourselves again. 🌖

This week’s practice will lean into grounding, balance, breath, and gentle strength — honoring the in-between spaces where integration happens.

Not every season is meant for pushing forward. Some are meant for listening, recalibrating, and letting go of what no longer needs to be carried.

Join me for free/donation-based morning yoga this week ✨

🧘 Thursday + Friday
⏰ 9:30 AM
📍 Lifted Lotus Yoga

Come exactly as you are.
We’ll move together. 🤍
