News Obviously the newest thing in my life is my baby boy, Milo. Check out the details on his page which will be updated regularly. In order to help him adjust to my return to work, I will be modifying my Maternity Leave schedule. I have already begun teaching private lessons. If you are interested in scheduling a session please call or email me. We can address particular poses or focus on a certain physical issue. Also, I will begin teaching my Monday morning class at the Center in Capitola on the 19th of May. That Monday evening class at the Om Room will be a Restorative class taught by Tricia Larson.

April 25, 2007 Namaste. I have started a new class at the Om Room. It is a level 1-3 from I am off to a long weekend in LA for a family Bride and Groom Shower. I trust you will all have a wonderful weekend... Peace, 1/17/07 Please note, I have cancelled my substitution class on Mondays from 3:30-5pm. I look forward to seeing those familiar faces at the level 1 evening class from 5:45-7pm at the Om Room. Also be aware that I have changed my multiple class pass prices. The following are those new rates: 5 classes is $55 10 classes is $100 20 classes is $185 Thank you for your continued support in manifesting my dream. Blessings!
1/11/07 I am pleased to return to some structure after the Holidays. Just in time to come down with a cold. I apologize to those of you who may have attempted to attend either of my classes today. I was able to reach a few by phone of course, but not able to get a sign on the door at the morning class. Please excuse any confusion. On the bright side I am already feeling better. I plan on teaching this Sunday the 13th. Lot's of rest, soup, laughter, and restorative yoga does the trick every time. Not to mention an incredible acupuncture treatment from Carmen McIntyre to begin the healing. I would like to leave you with a few suggestions if you find yourself at home with a cold. Sleep and have restful thoughts. Consider yourself on the road to healing rather ten labeling yourself as "sick". Make yourself nourishing food and then spend a luxurious time reveling in the flavor. Watch a funny movie with someone you love (even a favorite pet will do). Laughter helps reduce stress and boosts the immune system. Do some calming yoga stretches that soothe you with candles and silence in a warm room. Suggested poses: -supta baddha konasana; reclined cobbler's pose (lying on your back, knees wide apart, soles of the feet together, use a pillow under each knee) -viparrita karani; legs up the wall (lying down with both legs up the wall, legs together or spread wide apart, use a folded blanket under your sacrum/ tailbone) -jathara parrivartanasana; reclined twist (lie on your back, arms wide out to the sides, send bent legs to the left first, place a pillow between your legs, switch sides) - mandukasana; frog pose (sitting on the shins with the knees wide apart, take the hips to the heels and the forehead to the floor with hands stacked supporting the face) -savasana; corpse pose (lying on your back in deep relaxation, support the low back with a pillow under the knees) Any of these poses can be done for 5-10 minutes. Use a blanket for warmth as needed. The most important idea is to stay present with sensation. If uncomfortably arises, shift to find comfort or move on to another pose. This is important work during times of illness when we typically try to avoid the pain sensation by taking symptom relievers and continuing on with our life as if nothing is happening out of the ordinary. Stop what you doing and focus on being. This will also help to prevent contagious exposure time. In particular a public yoga class is not the place for someone who has a contagious cold or flu. Most yogis are coming to class to heal, please respect the intention of others. Take the cue from the body to relax at home and nourish yourself. Please feel free to email me with questions. I have a request to create a travel yoga routine and will be posting that soon. Until I see you next...be well.
