San Diego Ashtanga Yoga// Wednesday’s we hop on zoom for energizing backbend practice. Tomorrow class starts at 7am. You need the link. So please register ahead of time if you are able to! In person classes at Old Trolley Barn Park going strong. Park classes are Mondays/ Ashtanga Improv at 10am & Saturdays 9am/ Full Primary Series. This and more on web!

Earlier in the day// Two hour practice en casa// Saturday Park Yoga at Old Trolley Barn Park starts at 9am. Every Saturday is Led Primary Series now. A set sequence of postures entail the Primary Series. The class is grounding, strength building & 1 hr 30mins. Come and learn as it’s been taught to me!

Christmas 2020// it’s cold and super windy AF today. Wishing for practice indoors at my studio with community & slight heat going. Hair salons open today or tomorrow in SD. I hope yoga & fitness indoors are next. In the meanwhile, you’ll find me having impromptu photo shoots all over San Diego like this one. Activities such as home yoga practice. Pilates on the rooftop terrace with friends, daily writing hour & baking at home, keep me grounded! On the baking agenda today, van...illa vegan cake with vegan canna butter. Even the frosting is vegan! To be clear, I am not vegan. At least not anymore. Vegan desserts are equally as delicious as non-vegan treats. Not to mention, most vegan desserts have a fraction of the sugar content. Love you guys! Hope to see you this week on Zoom and Old Trolley Barn Park on Saturday at 9am for Full Led Primary Series!

Saturday Zoom// this photo our best at trying to get everyone in the frame & stay distanced. Saturday’s forecast shows 70% chance of rain in the area. Instead of the park, we will meet on Zoom for ashtanga yoga 9am class. Be back in person next weekend for yoga class at Old Trolley Barn Park. Love you! Register online or DM for zoom details.

Happy Saturday// Park Yoga starts at 9am friends. Please join us! Love You! @bananasplit53

Evening Energy// Nuevo Ano// en casa// 2021, We out here! A new calendar year. Not much changed for a lifelong student. Sadhana is every day. Practice is daily! Gratitude is resilience my friends. Sending you some of this love and good vibe for the rest of your weekend. My love to you and yours always!

Day one// 2021// let’s do this. I skipped practice today. Instead, went for a solid hike with a great friend to start the morning off on a high note. Convinced Anna to take a polar plunge in the ocean after solid 3 hour hike. Full body dip, full freeze & crisp breeze. Hydrated with lots of water, and a glass of vino and watched the sunset at the boardwalk in Mission Beach. Take a look at this photo, few days ago. 2020 was rich with many lessons! Here’s to 2021 with love!

Happy holidays// Schedule// 2018 at City Heights Shala// Socially-distanced ashtanga yoga class starts up again at Old Trolley Barn Park! Saturdays at 9am. Online Backbend Class starting Wednesday 1/6/2021 at 7am. Both classes are weekly led classes and are 75 mins long. Sign up now online now! See you soon. @lookwhereami

Holidays// home practice// feeling energized and content to work back to full practice. Some time for re-exploration of primary series was so beneficial in many ways. I find primary series to be an old time favorite. Always and forever love. The forward bends, so beneficial for the body. Including the nervous system. When practiced consistently; a firm foundation is built. Primary series reinforces & builds on energetics. A firm base for more advanced asana. Not to mention im...proved digestion & organ detoxifying effects. Primary Series to be practice regularly for a length of time under guidance of a qualified teacher. Other asanas not in primary series, -may- be introduced later. Holding steady over here @ my home studio. I’m getting back to teaching on Zoom in January. If you want to learn ashtanga yoga. Keep an eye out. Schedule coming soon. Love you. See more

A student first// Thinking back on my first trip to Mysore, India to study with @sharathjoisr . I had a shaved head and spent Christmas away from my family. While it’s nice to be home this year.

Road trip// my great friend and ashtanga student @california_with_accent came to town to visit! To be transparent, pandemic business related uncertainty has began to weigh on me. It’s been couple weeks with low energy and continued uncertainty with my Shala! The truth is, pandemic has hit yoga studio business hard. Currently in Joshua Tree, getting some fresh air and exploring the magical desert. I am grateful for the blessings God continues to provide. A quick post for attention. Now getting back to enjoying great company, coffee & gluten free carrot cake after exploring the park all morning and early afternoon. This late afternoon coffee for the drive back. I have a class to get to! I’ll see you all at 9am tomorrow for ashtanga at Old Trolley Barn Park! Love you. Thanks for the continued support.

Thanks to community for hanging in there and continuing to focus on practice. I’m grateful and very excited to continue to offer park yoga twice a week!
