Summer Light:
Energy, Growth, and Balance

Greetings!

I've just returned from two and a half weeks with my family in the British Isles.  We visited Scotland, Northern Ireland, Ireland, Wales, and England.  There was so much to see and do in each location but the one thing that stuck with me is how much we all enjoyed the lush green outdoor spaces in Scotland and Ireland.  There was a liveliness in the birch forests, surrounded by lush green meadows dotted with sheep.  The cities had many sites that were on our "must see" lists but nature is where we all thrived.  I spent a lot of the time sitting and watching while my boys ran, climbed, and threw rocks into streams and lakes.  It was rather magical.

​

Summer invites us outward — into longer days, warm evenings, vibrant gardens, and moments of connection. It’s a season full of energy and expansion, but also a gentle reminder to stay balanced amidst the heat and busyness.

​

In yoga, summer is an opportunity to cultivate both vitality and steadiness: to move, breathe deeply, and stay rooted even as life becomes fuller and faster.

In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me lay an invincible summer.​

​

Root to Rise: A Yoga, Meditation & Succulent Planting Workshop

In nature, growth begins below the surface. Long before a plant

blooms, it strengthens its roots — quietly creating the stability

and nourishment needed for future growth.

This two-hour workshop is designed to help you do the same.

We’ll start with a gentle open-eyed meditation, cultivating

presence and awareness. From there, you’ll create your own

small succulent planter, a hands-on reminder of the patience

and care that help roots develop and thrive.

​

Afterward, we’ll move through a slow flow and grounding yoga

practice, followed by a long, restful savasana to fully absorb the

benefits of the practice.

​

Together, these experiences offer space to pause, reconnect, and strengthen your own inner roots — supporting resilience, balance, and growth in everyday life.​​

​

Perfect for anyone seeking a moment to slow down, reconnect, and cultivate deeper roots.
