Thanks @sivanandabahamas for holding space for me to drop deeply into my yoga practice this week! Feeling inspired by slowing down, making new friends + being in the ocean. May we all feel nourished + inspired, everywhere! #instajournal #gratitudejournal #yogaeverywhere #yogaeveryday #yogaretreat #selfcare #practicewhatyoupreach #yogateacher #yogastudent #breathedeeply #movemindfully #bahamas #sunshine #travelgram #natarajasana #dancerpose

Last weekend @be.in.bloom + I hosted our seventh yoga retreat / first day retreat together in Waterdown, Ontario! Winter Stillness Day Retreat was filled with magick, healing and community. We came together with a group of beautiful humans to slow down, be present, and focus on self-care rituals. We practiced yoga, meditation, and gathered for a New Moon circle. Just a few of our favourite things! ... The lovely Leslie prepared a nourishing plant-based farm to table lunch followed by a hands on workshop where we learned to make + take home medicinal winter treats: fire cider + elderberry syrup! Big thanks to @suburbzen for your intention infused malas + @giddyyo for your yummy treats! I love hosting yoga retreats with @be.in.bloom so much! I hope to get to share this experience with friends + family for many moons to come! Next up: Spring Awakening Day Retreat with a very special guest from NYC! Send me your email address if you want to be first on the list to get all the deets! xo @ Waterdown, Ontario

Ask and you shall receive! A week + a half ago @be.in.bloom + I had to cancel our Winter Stillness weekend retreat unexpectedly so we asked our network to explore what other possibilities might be out there waiting for us! Today, I'm so grateful + excited to share a brand new offering:... WINTER STILLNESS DAY RETREAT Sunday, February 23 Waterdown, Ontario 10am - 6pm While a day retreat is a new format for us, you can still expect winter-inspired programming full of our favourite healing tools + practices... including a special workshop with the lovely Chef Leslie (who lives off grid + doesn't have social media)! Here's what you get: A relaxing day in a beautiful heritage home on a quiet farm property Morning Yoga Flow + Guided Meditation A whole food plant-based farm-to-table lunch made by private chef Afternoon Rest + Restore Yoga New Moon Ritual Wellness Workshop led by Chef Leslie where you'll learn how to handcraft natural medicinal winter remedies to take home with you!

"How we do anything is how we do everything!" This message keeps showing up for me lately - on my yoga mat, in a book that I'm reading, at the office, during social activities, on my news feed. Seems like everywhere I turn I'm reminded to NOTICE how I am doing whatever I am doing or how I am BEING in each moment. ... Noticing how I move, think, breathe, feel... Noticing what attitude I am showing up with in each experience... Noticing my habits + how I react to certain people, situations + triggers... I'd love to say that I always approach life from a grounded + centred place (like in this #tb travel pic) but of course, I am human + so I continue to practice. May we notice how we do anything is how we do everything. And may we allow our observations to guide us to practice how we want to be...on + off our yoga mats! Excited to sub/teach @yoga7seven this month. If you're in or around Port Credit area in Mississauga, come practice with me! Upcoming offerings: Thursday February 6 7 pm Hatha 8:30 pm Renew + Relax Thursday February 13 7 pm Hatha 8:30 pm Renew + Relax Thursday February 20 7 pm Hatha 8:30 pm Renew + Relax Hope to see you on your mat! xo

Currently practicing: TRUSTING THE PROCESS Sad to announce that our Winter Stillness Retreat is unexpectedly cancelled. Our venue has gone in a different direction + no longer running yoga retreats. After hosting four succesful retreats in Caledon in the last two years together, @be.in.bloom + I are officially looking for a new local retreat home! We are exploring local options to host a day retreat or a weekend retreat in the near future. After all, we were really lookin...g forward to collaborating again with plant-focused Chef Leslie! Fingers crossed we can still get her to share her food magic with us! Do you know any places where we could host a day or weekend retreat?! Ideally, less than two hours outside Toronto/Hamilton area + surrounded by nature! Must haves: yoga + meditation space, washrooms, kitchen + of course, walking distance to a nature trail with river, pond or waterfall! Bonus: fire pit, treatment room, + sustainable eco-friendly towels, linens + toilettries. If you know a place (or know someone who has a place), please tag them in the comments or share this post! Choosing to surrender to the forces beyond my control. Trusting that by allowing ourselves to let it go, we create space for something new to arrive. May we trust that the Universe has an even better plan for us + it's all just a part of the process! xo

D R E A M I N G Winter in this corner of the world has me dreaming of warmer days in jungle paradise not so long ago. Embracing the snow, quiet + stillness of the season... while dreaming up my next adventure! ... Poll time: When should we return to Costa Rica for another yoga retreat week @thesanctuarycostarica?! November 2020 vs. February 2021 Cast your vote in the comments below! And leave your email or DM me to get all retreat details in your inbox!

G U A R D I N G. B A L A N C E. Lately I've been making choices that protect + invite balance in each moment. When I eat, sleep, exercise, socialize, read, write, cook, dance...is based on the guidance + messages I receive from my body. When it's not so easy to tune in, meditation helps. Movement wakes me up. Breath is boss. And nature always heals me. ... May we honour the relationship we have with the earth, with each other + with ourselves ICYMI: Winter Stillness Retreat is happening Feb 21-23 in Caledon, Ontario. There will be yoga, meditation, nature, nourishment + plenty of time for self-care - so you can easily tune into the guidance + messages from your body! All levels welcome. Space is limited. Ask me anything. Link in bio to register! xo

2019 was INTENSE. Grateful for intense joy, awe, love, bliss, laughter, light, wonder, connection, courage, adventure, surrender, surprise, peace, calm, community. Of course there were also moments of sadness, grief, loss, depression, fear, worry, anxious, stress, overwhelm, fatigue, hopelessness, anger, frustration, unworthiness, loneliness. The darker moments, much harder to share, though they were there.... To a year full of lessons, mistakes, growth, new experiences, adventure, memories. To the light. And the dark. Thank you for being a part of this wild ride! And decade. In 2020, I call in TRUST. Trust in the process. Trust in Universal timing. Trust in doing the work. Trust that we are exactly where we need to be. Trust that we are all doing our best. Trust that we are one. Trust that all we need is love. Peace + love, friends. Let's continue walking each other home! #fromtheheart #gratitudejournal #beherenow #streamofconscious #goodbye2019 #hello2020 #nofilter

Held by the Earth. I am free. I choose love. Trust. Breathe. ... Surrender. Shine. I love you. I love me. We are one. Peace, peace, peace. Happy (Winter) Solstice, instafam! May we allow ourselves to be held by the Earth beneath us, especially during this holiday season. PS Port Credit amigos: I'm teaching at my old stomping ground next Sat Dec 28 at 10:30am @yoga7seven in Mississauga! Come practice with me?! It'll be my first public class in a while...so it's gonna be a juicy one. All levels welcome. Hope to see you on your mat!
