Settling into the New Year, Gently
I hope you enjoyed the holiday season—I certainly did. My husband, Leigh, and I spent some lovely, quality time with both of our boys and their significant others. Unfortunately, due to the weather, we had to skip our time with extended family, which left us with a slower, more relaxed holiday th... Read More

Lead From the Heart!
Well, hello friend! It’s been a few months since a last wrote a HeartFelt Musing. I’ve had a few topic ideas that I started to write about, but they all felt forced. I’m not the type of person who will force something that doesn’t feel right. This is really because I try to lead from my heart as ... Read More

HeartFelt Flexibility
~Bruce Lee Have you heard that the practice of yoga can make you flexible? I would bet that most of the people reading this question are thinking that I mean the physical body. Yes, a well balanced asana (physical) practice will definitely help with the flexibility of the body. But, when I asked ... Read More

Yoga Can Help With That!
Yoga started it’s climb towards popularity, here in the west, in the early to mid 90’s. Since then, the practice of yoga has been pared back to nothing more than a workout.

It's Good to Feel Small!
A couple of weeks ago, a group of pictures were being shared across Facebook. Maybe you saw them? The first picture was of Earth; the second was Earth with our moon; the third was Earth with Mercury and Mars. At this point our planet looks like it’s pretty big. Well, along comes Uranus and Neptun... Read More

HeartFelt Two Years!
Wow! In some ways it is hard to believe I opened the doors to HeartFelt Yoga only two years ago. I’m so incredibly proud that HeartFelt Yoga made it to see this second birthday! I certainly have felt, at times, that my journey to here was like that little engine that could! There were many days t... Read More

HeartFelt Time in my Garden
My husband and I have lived in our current home for 17 years. Over those years, our yard has gone through many different expressions. It has literally gone from a mud puddle to the oasis (in my opinion) that it is today! But let me tell you, the trial and error was great. There were countless tre... Read More

Grateful Heart
As I prepare to reopen for the third time, I again find myself reflecting about my time in lockdown. I’ve done this with each reopening. I’ll be honest, I am an introvert, so being told to stay home was really not a personal sacrifice on my part. As a yogi, I have heard and read stories about anc... Read More

Finding Silence in Meditation
When I started teaching regularly in the fall of 2009, there didn’t seem to be much interest in meditation at that time. I would say that tide has shifted completely since my early days. There are now countless meditation apps to use. Meditation has its own big section in Chapters and I just goog... Read More

I’m pretty sure the best people do yoga at HeartFelt Yoga 💚💚 In this HeartFelt Musing, I want to discuss the fo... Read More
