Namaste, 2017!

Life is ever brimming with challenges, sadness, joy, surprises, togetherness, alone-time, emotion, work, play, love and learning. Comedy, tragedy and everything overlapping in between.Walking the path of beauty means making the choice to live in a way that fulfills you.... the deepest, truest, clearest version of you. When we embody the best version of ourselves, we transmit our happiness, fulfillment and light to those around us.In reflecting on my past life in the States -- working overtime, eating packaged foods, fighting traffic, perpetually stressed and seeking contentment in all the wrong places -- that lifestyle seems like it was already many lifetimes ago, when really only eight years have passed.Over the course of the years, I've had moments where I sense that my long-ago, seemingly impossible dreams (to live in an exotic Latin American culture, to teach yoga and meditation, to write, to create a family with a wonderful partner) have become reality.This month, I'll be collaborating with some fabulous friends to give a weekend retreat at La KzonA Atitlan, and I will be leading my first week-long retreat -- at Villa Sumaya!p.s. There are still spots left for both; if you are feeling inspired to join either of these learning circles, I encourage you to take the leap!I am filled with gratitude for these opportunities to share the powerful practices of chakra yoga, yin yoga, heartfulness and creative writing!Here's to living the dream, day by day, moment to moment.May you live your dream.May you be you.May all beings be happy!
