🌿 Hey beautiful friends!! 🌺🌊 Summer is coming to a close, and with it brings LOTS of changes!! I love the heat and sunshine and being near water, so I am getting sad about that leaving us soon. My body is not a fan of being cold, not one bit. 🤣
🍄My kiddos return to school on August 7, and it’s a big year y’all. My daughter starts her senior year🥹😱😳, and my son begins 5th grade at a new school, new start and end times, and it’s further away. Finn doesn’t roll with change well, so I’m just floating through one day at a time, and breathing through any rough patches. He’ll get used to it though and he’ll thrive! We won’t dive into the plethora of emotions surrounding my daughter’s senior year and coming college overwhelm, but I will say proud does not even begin to sum up what I feel for her. Tears well up simply by typing those words. She is my first baby, my only girl, my preemie babe born at only 4 lbs, and has grown to be completely extraordinary in every sense of the word! 💕
🪷With all these changes comes cool Fall breezes, a single amber leaf amongst a sea of green, and a shift in my class! I’ve been teaching this Monday class at 815am for exactly 11 months! It was a brand new time slot, and Mondays are hard, either people are available or just not at all. So, it could be a rollercoaster of attendance, high one week, low the next, but if even one person was practicing in studio with me, then I helped that person connect more deeply with their body, quiet the mind, let go of past pains, future worries, and stay present for one hour. It made me so so happy, and humbled, and it was an honor to hold this healing space! I’d always stay after for my friend Kelly’s hot class, and chat afterwards, growing our sweet friendship. We’d laugh about things gone wrong, mistakes we made in class, things we were proud of in class, family life, and our favorite podcast, wishing we could go hang with Bradshaw in Chicago! 🏙️ I’ll definitely miss our time together Kelly! 🫶🏻
🛼And so, we celebrated our final Monday together today, with my favorite 80s class I always teach every summer! I realized I hadn’t taught it yet a few weeks ago and saved it for today! We flowed through all the poses humming along to our old friends, Duran Duran, Cindy, Whitney, Prince, Madonna, Queen, and The Cure! It was a blast and the perfect way to end this chapter! 🎸 I also logged my 100th hour of teaching today! Yay!! THANK YOU lovelies for getting me there! 🧸

🌻Thank you ladies, and a few gents over the past few months, who’ve invited me into your lives to heal! Our Monday mornings were precious and sacred! I’ll always have a deep love & gratitude for each of you who blessed my life over the past year! The very first class I ever taught was so different than now, so much growth and learning and evolution has happened! And I love constantly learning! We’ve shifted the focus in class to our mental wellbeing, adding in various modalities to remain present, to let go of past pains, current stressors, and future worries in order to heal in the now. We’ve agitated all of those things, all of those layers, to release trauma stuck in the body, and learned how to process through moments of reactivation in the nervous system. 🤎
🍁🍄🟫With the new season marks the new season of my classes! Because Finn’s new school time is right at that 815 hour, I can no longer teach at that time, soooooo We will now heal together on Sundays, at 10:00, on the day we find rest and heal! It even got a glow up with a NEW name:
💫✨Warm Somatic Flow✨💫
I’m so excited for it and I hope to see you there to continue our healing practice! You can expect to see more of what you’ve seen in my classes: an extended pranayama practice, a self healing reiki practice, a longer warm up, fluid movement with longer hold times in poses to connect more deeply into the body, and our beloved somatic practice! It will be soothing, fun, and rejuvenating all at the same time! We will heal and regulate the nervous system, shed the layers we no longer need, in order to come home to our true selves, without the stress, the busy-ness, the feelings of inferiority or comparison. We will love ourselves as we are, returning to the light found within!💫
