Seriously, I love this kula. The most real, the most supportive, the most playful, creative, silly, educated, loving humans I have encountered embracing a shared path. This last week (and still going!) of all-day AcroYoga love during TT2 has been super inspiring, re-igniting some of my own fires that have been wavering through big personal transitions. But when we feel the love surrounding us in community, trust that love is there even when we don’t see it in our immediate surroundings, we discover the power that is within us all along.

I can hardly wait for tomorrow’s adventures~*

Maha Shivaratri~ the great night of blessings~ may we all see the blessings come through all kinds of challenges, great & small, personal & collective, as sometimes it may take years to recognize the light behind the why of our greatest journeys.

I have recently come around to understandings that seemed impossible while in the fire of a long learning journey a few years long. The waves were intense, the highs as ecstatic as the lows were defeating, yet I never lost sight of the seed light of intention that began within my heart~~ even when it became shrouded by outside and other people’s agendas~~ the light is finally beginning to blossom forth in many directions. And man, does it feel good to let things grow in their own organic pace. Well worth the wait:)

Hi friends, family, tribe!

Getting excited to be in Crested Butte, CO, next week for the first time. It’s a place that has always enchanted me by name and reputation, especially having a roommate years ago from Crested Butte who was such a rock-star rock climber that she would climb the walls in our house!

I’ll be out there for the first annual Yoga Rocks the Butte Festival, headlined by my teacher, Shiva Rea, and with many other amazing, creative, cutting edge teachers~ in Prana Flow, Kalari (perhaps the most ancient martial art in the world, from south India), PranaDandaYoga, Poi, Hooping, AcroYoga,…. AND a full schedule of family and kids classes!

I am honored to be teaching AcroYoga~Love, Light, Flight; Circle Sadhana ~ Ecstatic Hoopdance Flow; & The Pulse of the Circle~ Hoop, Poi, & Staff as personal Sadhana with Rainbow Michael Haynes. Feeling so blessed to spend a weekend with dear friends, teachers, and the majesty of the Rocky Mountains! Jai Ma!

The Year of the Water Dragon is meant to be one of action, auspicious blessings, abundance, and great transformation. Thank you for your visit, support, and patience while my new virtual home is being created and birthed very soon!
Namaste~*

An article I wrote for our celebraton~

Friday 11.11.11, join Samantha Shakti, Stacey Rosenberg, and myself for a very special, once in a lifetime event at Evolve, Los Altos.

Eleven is a window into the current of Grace. Join us on this auspicious day of three elevens for a sacred celebration. Together we will tap into this power of this day, which is amplified by gathering in community to generate our grandest wishes and extend them out. Nayelli will playfully guide us to step into the circle of the hoop and get our bodies moving. Samantha and Stacey will continue the flow with a heart opening and deeply nourishing asana practice that will lead into chanting, meditation and intention setting. The evening will end with sweet treats by Shri Cuisine and time to delight in the company of one another. For more information, click here.

Today’s new moon signifies the festival of Diwali. Gratitude and celebration to the light of the Divine in our lives! Om Param Jyotyai Namaha!
We honor Sri as the great radiance!

Diwali is the celebration of Sri and the blessing of one’s inner and outer space with the light of consciousness – a time of community feast and sharing. Love your inner and outer house – clearing and cleaning. Light your inner and outer lamps to invoke the auspicious current in your space. Pray for all to generate meaningful prosperity, long-life and creative power for all.
