A Season of Great Gratitude

There is so much gratitude to be expressed this season, celebrating the harvest of all your good intentions and transformational work.  I have so many beautiful people in my life that I would love to acknowledge:

Thank you Lauren Schacher, our talented apprentice for Goda Yoga's Fall 2012 Teacher Training!

 Thank you Maitri, for the lovely write up of my class at Exhale Center for Sacred Movement:

Thank you David Carroll, of BlissFactoryMusic.com for playing live for my Sunset Soul Flow Fridays at Exhale.

Mad love and respect to the JahSuns for their shamanistic vision and deep work through sound healing and vibration.  I feel blessed to know them and to have had them play live for many of my classes over the past few weeks.  http://www.facebook.com/JahSuns?fref=ts

Another shout out to Molly Nourmand of Alignyo for featuring our Teacher Training Modules this fall at Goda Yoga:

I couldn't do a lot of the work I do without the support of friend and colleague Claudia Fucigna Townley, she is such an inspiration to work with.  And of course, the sheer joy and delight that my baby boy Vincent brings into my life!

I am always amazed at how many people reach out and contact me, from literally around the world, through Yogis Anonymous in Santa Monica.  The work Ally Hamilton and Dorian Cheah are doing there to share the love of yoga, and live streaming practices world wide is truly astounding.  Check out their site now if you haven't:

Ommm, at last, but certainly not least,  my utmost gratitude for my extremely talented, dearly beloved husband Joe Cariati!!! His work with the elements of fire and silica are out of this world, and his virgo attention to detail transcends every area of our lives.  What an artist, a father, and friend.  http://joecariati.com/

Here's to enjoying your summer, enjoying your beautiful lives, and enjoying each other!

Namaste extended yoga family!

Celebrating Sangha: your spiritual community of like-minded truth seekers

I am very much looking forward to the "Laughing Lotus Teachers Summit" that is being held in NYC, June 15-18th.  There, twelve years of Laughing Lotus graduates will convene to bask in each others presence and share our experiences as teachers.  Designed by Laughing Lotus Co-founders Dana Flynn and Jasmine Tarkeshi, this will be an invaluable weekend to re-connect and strengthen our "sangha", or yoga community.  I am truly honored to be teaching at the first annual Lotus Teacher's Summit!

Practicing: whenever and wherever we can!

Finding the time and place to practice in your busy life can be a challenge, especially with a little one around!  Getting creative about how, when, and where we practice can be just the ticket.  Try some pranayama or practice your mantra the next time you find yourself stuck in traffic in your car.  Pick up that baby and rest them on your thigh for a round of Warrior 1 squats.  Navasana, or boat pose, with your child on your lap can be a fun balancing act too.  Use the wall at the office for some shoulder opening or a supported Pyramid pose (Parsvottanasana).  Remember that you can do a little something just about anywhere to tune in and center yourself.

And then, there is always the great outdoors!  Practicing yoga outside under the open air can be so uplifting and inspiring, with more than just the studio wall to reflect upon.  Here are some images from our most recent retreat in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica.  Hanging upside down on a zipline flying through the jungle in a back bend or baddakonasana definitely counts, you go ladies!

Last Call for Costa Rica!

There is still space left to join our Pura Vida Retreat February 2-8th
~ email me to come along for this soul nourishing week in paradise.
