The word that embodies my focus for 2021 is renew. 2020 brought a lot of personal change, with the welcoming of our daughter, Beatrice. I allowed myself to shift priorities; a singular focus of getting know this new being and stepping into my new role as a mother. Now that I’m feeling more like myself and (kinda) getting the hang of being a new parent, I’m ready to renew my focus on health and wellness.
This one has been hard to come to terms with but, I have to put it out there. The physical asana of yoga does not serve this current version of my body. No doubt, postpartum, I will return to my mat but right now my body craves strength-based movements that will support my transition into labor and healing beyond.
I've dreamt about becoming a full-time yoga teacher for years now, the biggest piece that has prevented me from diving in has been finances and feeling comfortable enough to take the risk. After a couple of years of concentrated effort and focus, I finally felt like we were able to find financial freedom, allowing me to follow my dreams.

I previously shared my Sun Salutation A flow as a way to foster the connection with our breath, mind, and body. These repetitive movements allow us to get out of our heads and into the sensations in our body. As a result we feel more deeply connected to our intuition. We also begin to express our needs more clearly because we know them more intimately.
