The Power of AND
No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up. ~Regina Brett This has been the motto of my life for 6 decades. Get up, get in action, make shit happen, an object in motion, yata yata… It’s so interesting to find myself in a place where that isn’t always the best thing. […]
The Best is Yet to Come
“Cherish the moments, all of them. You have seen and felt much in life so far. But still, the best is yet to come.” ~Melody Beattie January 1st, no matter what happened in the rear view mirror, always feels like magic to me. A new beginning where the slate is wiped clean, and I get […]
I am content and…
“Searching outside ourselves for happiness in any form, whether it be substances, people or possessions, just leads to yet more searching” ~ Ekhart Tolle I find so much peace on the islands. Hawaii makes everything easier. I came here to lead a yoga retreat, and spend time with my family. I am leaving with a […]
What’s in Your Backpack?
Early in my fitness career, I attended the IDEA World Fitness convention. I will never forget the words of the keynote speaker (although I forgot who said them). They asked the audience to imagine they could put all of their worries, struggles, life burdens into their gym bag, and bring them to the stage and […]
Choices and Change
Quiet friend who has come so far, feel how your breathing makes more space around you. Let this darkness be a bell tower and you the bell. As you ring, what batters you becomes your strength. Move back and forth into the change. What is it like, such intensity of pain? If the drink is […]
My Guru is Back

You can catch my acceptance speech HERE. In my speech, I also shared what is literally the hardest news I have ever received. My Guru, […]
This is Sixty
Happy Birthday to me! I had planned to send out a photo of me doing a yoga pose showing that sixty can be strong, flexible and hot-for-60. And then… Over lunch, a student, who is a photographer, showed me a photo she wanted to post for my birthday. She thought it was beautiful, and really […]
Showing Up
Eighty percent of success is showing up. ~Woody Allen Enough. Thank you Mother Nature for making sure our snow pack is the best in many years. Thank you for the powder days and the beautiful white covered mountains against blue skies. Thank you, but that’s enough. It’s March. Time for a slow thaw. The day […]
Do You Believe in Miracles?
Do ever stop in your tracks and just stand in awe? Does it take your breath away in those moments when you realize that you are living in a vehicle that is nothing short of a miracle? Every day, I get to work at the best job ever invented. My job is to remind people […]
This Too Shall Pass
“Life has got to be lived – that’s all there is to it. At seventy, I would say the advantage is that you take life more calmly. You know that ‘this, too, shall pass!’”— Eleanor Roosevelt Confession. I have been dreading this weekend. It’s a long anatomy weekend in our 300 Hour program. I love […]
