Happy 8 year anniversary to my first 200hr yoga teacher training and wedding anniversary to some of my favorite people! I remember what a grounded whirlwind it was to attend early-morning YTT graduation (thank you for accommodating my schedule 🥹) and then a dreamy woodland wedding 1000 miles away, the same day. ✨🌲

While I’m present-day processing big, heavy things (personal, national, global, there is SO MUCH going on) it felt really good to pause and re-experience these memories. All of these photos are from this day, 8 years ago.
So much has changed, but the support and love represented in these photos remains strong, evolving, adaptive, and valuable beyond words.

Photos include:

The only things necessary for my favorite kind of wedding: a backpack and hiking boots (the perfect ones I still haven’t let go of just saying 😘)

My airport driver and personal chef

A stranger I befriended at the airport bc we liked each others books

Two of my favorite humans, who have been best friends since long before I knew them. One groom , one officiant .
The glowing couple.
Endless gratitude 💖

A tender and warm sound ceremony last night with Ce’ara 💛🤍

Local friends - there is still room - link to calendar to register in BIO 🙏🏽. There will be only three more of the restorative breath sessions offered in person at this location in 2025 - these classes are intentionally kept at reasonable offering - The Medicine of Slow ✨

In a world that races, your nervous system whispers: slow down.
Because the brain doesn’t heal in hurry. It heals in pauses.
The heart then expands and the field to the subtler energies can be accessed.
When you move slowly, the body begins to listen.
When the body feels safe, the nervous system softens.
And when the nervous system softens, the brain rewires itself — building new pathways of peace, safety, and resilience.

This is why slow yoga, slow breath, slow presence can feel so powerful.
It isn’t about doing less.
It’s about creating conditions where healing becomes possible.

Slowness is the hidden doorway.
It opens into safety.
It opens into repair.
It opens into transformation.

🌀 Go slow.
💨 Breathe deep.
💗 Let your nervous system remember the way home.
