Hi friends, hope everyone is safe and well! I’m going to share something pretty personal with you today, in the hopes it might open up an inner dialogue that might otherwise not have happened. There, you’ve been warned. My relationship with food was perfectly normal and wonderful growing up. My mom cooked for us every night and we always […]

Hi friends, welcome to September- my birthday month! As always around this time of year, I’ve been reflecting on how I’ve spent the last (insert your best guess at my age) years on this planet. Not with judgement, just as a way to appreciate where I’ve been and get excited about where I’m going. Looking back, I noticed that my […]

Hi friends, welcome to (mid) August! just received emails from my boys’ schools welcoming us to the new academic year, and it hit me that summer is soon coming to an end – eeek!

My favorite memory from YTT: The amazing YL Hill Country retreat and […]

Hi friends, welcome to July! The boys and I recently returned from a lovely 2 weeks visiting my parents and sisters in Philadelphia. As always, saying goodbye was bittersweet – I hate not being a short car drive away from any of them, but I really, really love sleeping in my own bed! In any […]

Hi friends, welcome to June! It’s hard to believe but my littlest, Matias, is almost 2! From a sweet, quiet, almost fragile little baby, he’s become an active, curious, and incredibly strong-willed toddler….our very own Bam-Bam:) This boy does not back away from anything once he’s decided it’s what he wants, and I find it […]

Hi friends, welcome to May! This month, our yoga teacher trainees are completing their last requirements before graduation. Over the past 12 weeks, they have studied the physical anatomy and energetic qualities of a wide range of yoga poses, learned about intentional sequencing and structuring well-rounded classes, and practiced using efficient yet supportive verbal cues […]

Aside from the fact that the words cohort, group, hive, pack, or flock didn’t seem quite right, I landed on Yoga Pods for our new offering because this particular term has special meaning for me. For as long as I can remember, my sisters and I have considered ourselves 3 peas in a pod, and […]
