Fall & Winter Offerings

-

Hello All! I wanted to let you know about some upcoming classes and workshops I will be leading this fall and winter in addition to my regular weekly Vinyasa Yoga classes. Here is a complete list with brief descriptions of everything coming up in the next few months. I'll see you on the mat! 

  • Yoga Nidra - Mondays from 7:15 PM to 8:00 PM - Starting October 19th! Yoga Nidra, or "yogic sleep," is a guided meditation practice done in Corpse pose (Savasana). The instructor guides you through body scans, breathing exercises, and sensory awareness as you rest. Many find this practice reduces stress and anxiety, and gives them a feeling of deep restoration and a sense of inner peace. This class will be held directly after my weekly 6:00 PM Vinyasa class at Aditi Yoga and Wellness. Click HERE to register for one, or both! $25 per person
  • Peace & Meditation Circles - Sundays from 12:15 PM - 1:45 PM - Oct 25th | Nov 22nd | Dec 20th 
    Experience the healing power of the peacemaking circle! Traditionally used in indigenous communities for reconciliation and connecting as a community, peacemaking circles have been used in the criminal justice system, in schools and classrooms, by families and communities, to facilitate healing, create connection, and deal with difficult issues. The unique protocols of the circle quickly create a feeling of trust and safety among participants, which allows them to feel comfortable sharing deep truths in a vulnerable way. Each circle will have a unique theme and focus. Participants will have a chance to reflect, share, and meditate on the topic of the month. The topic for October will be GENTLENESS. This workshop costs $40 per person and will be held at Aditi Yoga and Wellness in Seattle. Click HERE for more information or to register.     

  • Meditation 101 - Saturday, January 9th, 2027 from NOON to 4:00 PM 
    Learn to meditate in a safe, supportive space. This workshop will cover everything from how to find a comfortable position, what type of meditation to do, how long to sit, and more! There will be lots of time to try out different things and see what works for you. You will also have the chance to ask questions and share your experiences with your fellow students. $160 per person. Click HERE to begin your meditation journey.
 
In addition to the above, I also teach two regular weekly Vinyasa classes in the Seattle area. 
One last thing! Fremont Health Club is hosting a FREE Health Fair on Saturday, October 17th from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. At the fair, you'll have the opportunity to ask a trainer for advice, take a short demo class, get a free assessment, enter the raffle, and more! No advanced registration necessary. Non-members can use the gym for free from 11AM - 1PM that day. I'll be there to answer questions about yoga or mediation, and am also teaching a free mini meditation class.

Inspire-ME Monday #4: Relationships

"Opening to the world begins to benefit ourselves and others simultaneously. The more we relate with others, the more quickly we discover where we’re blocked. Seeing this is helpful, but it’s also painful. Sometimes we use it as ammunition against ourselves: we aren’t kind, we aren’t honest, we aren’t brave, and we might as well give up right now. But when we apply the instruction to be soft and nonjudgmental to whatever we see at this very moment, the embarrassing reflection in the mirror becomes our friend. We soften further and lighten up more, because we know it’s the only way we can continue to work with others and be of any benefit in the world. This is the beginning of growing up." -- Pema Chodron "Fucked up people will try to tell you otherwise, but boundaries have nothing to do with whether you love someone or not. They are not judgments, punishments, or betrayals. They are a purely peaceable thing: the basic principles you identify for yourself that define t...

Wisdom from Raul Julia

-
"...[L]ife itself is a meditation."  --Raul Julia I have always loved Raul Julia, since I first saw him as the sensitive married man having sexual tension with Susan Sarandon while solving a murder in "Compromising Positions" (the cast of which also included the always entertaining Judith Ivey - I love her voice and demeanor so much I think I could watch her in anything). He went on to play defense attorney Sandy Stern in "Presumed Innocent" and of course the beloved patriarch Gomez Addams in "The Addams Family."  His was one the first celebrity deaths - in 1994 - to really effect me. He always seemed to have an undefinably quiet strength and grace. I get it now - he saw his life as a meditation - and that makes all the difference.  I hope someday to be remembered for my quiet grace and thanks to Raul I have one more clue about how to do that. Thanks Raul. For everything.

The Paris Anniversary Marathon Day 2: Miles 6-13.5

-

Section two of the Paris Marathon is all about the Bois de Vincennes, Paris’ largest park, located in the 12th arrondissement. Rather than try and follow the route exactly, we just wandered around the park for 7 miles then found the closest Metro station and headed home.  Entrance to the Bois de Vincennes closest to the Port Doree Metro station. This park reminded us a lot of Seattle parks in that it connects to the neighborhood around it via many different streets and entrances and also has a lot of different things happening in the park: lakes, baseball and soccer fields, biking paths, horseback-riding trails, even a Buddhist Temple (which, unfortunately, was closed today).  Boats available for rent on Lac Daumesnil.  Temple of Love (on the left) above the grotto of Lac Daumesnil.  Mark in the grotto.  Waterfall in the grotto.  Another view of the lake.  A Buddhist statue in the park. This lovely bright green plant covered lots of the streams running...
