Thinking about F Scott Fitzgerald is my favorite pastime. I love using modern quotes tied into my practice, everywhere you look yoga can be found. In breath, in principle, in movement, I see yoga everywhere.

summer belongs to the (sweaty) sweeties.

surrounded by love and light, but it’s never blinding. only guiding.

forest fairy trails in botanical homes, y2k medieval mexican dinners. most of the things I (literally) had dreams about actually happened this season. omens? prophecies? scary!

lots of lazy laying in grass, methodically picking mountain bouquets or dipping toes in rivers. chalk sketches on rocks left to either be discovered by winds that lived millennia ago or eroded by modern memories.

texas summer sunsets I wish I could keep in my pockets. but I could never own parts of the sky. I respect Her too much.

pet-sitting scratches the itch for letting the soft animal of your body love what it loves. or maybe it’s just allergies.

more consistent exercise post-height of autoimmune struggles. 50/50 parts equal stretching/workouts easing in a new lesson about body-mind connection. I go slow. but at least I go steady. I’m not in a rush to sharpen my bones anymore.

children’s laughter feels like perfume, drifting in the air and it lingers, little auditory bubbles from uncontrollable giggles. but giggles shouldn’t be controlled either way. for people born only a few months ago, babies sure know how to live.

birthdays and housewarmings and celebrations and people holding joy and lots of love for others but *especially* themselves. seeing so many people love and value themselves feels really good. I believe in a different definition of “selfish.”

had an intention to come back to the adventure inside of me that I left behind a few years ago. ended up learning how to fall back into softness too.

unwittingly became Mother to a baby gecko I named Curry (after Tim.) I watched him fall down a drain the day after he was finally brave enough to kiss my fingers. felt symbolic.

tell me. did u HAGS? …or were u HAGGED???

Looking for the colors in my days lately and thought I’d share what I have found 😍

Date night ft comedy and insanely good Turkish food

Laying under a tree in my front yard feeling the cool breeze amidst 102 F temps

Telling the bully in my head to stop talking so I could play with my yarn

One more month until we return to la isla, where blue is never just one colour. Every hue in the sea, pool and sky—all shades of calm and clarity.

We’re looking forward to welcoming a new group of women. This retreat is fully booked, but our 2027 dates will land in your inbox next week. Keep those eyes—whatever their shade—peeled for our newsletter if you’d like to join us next year in this forever mesmerising part of Mallorca.
