September always feels like a fresh start after summer. What’s an intention or focus you’re bringing with you into this new month?

September renewal: daily yoga, live classes, and new goodies in the membership ✨

Happy September! This month's yoga calendar offers a chance to recharge and start as the season turns.

It's a special month for me because I’m celebrating five years teaching online after a wonderful 20 years running my in-person community yoga studio that focused on yin and restorative yoga.

Since then this heart-full online community has grown to 450 at-home practitioners, and I’ve designed over 250 video practices – all focused on relaxation, flexibility and self care.

Before now, the members' yoga calendar offered just three classes each week – but after five years, the class catalog can finally support a calendar with yoga classes every day of the week (without too many re-runs). This is something I've been dreaming of doing since the beginning, and it's finally happening – a beautiful schedule of daily classes on the September 2025 yoga calendar, starting Monday 9/1.

The daily calendar is a curated collection of member favorites, upcoming new videos, and livestream classes.

And I get it – you’re busy and may not practice that often. This daily calendar doesn’t mean you’re expected to practice every day – instead, it's a guide to help take the guesswork out of your practice whenever you log on. 

Part of this Autumn expansion is a new Somatic Yoga Foundations series where you'll learn the gentle, integrative approach of somatic yoga. Join me live on Tuesdays starting September 9th for 30 minutes of slow stretches, breathwork, yin and restorative poses – all designed to release tension and calm the nervous system. Classes will be recorded to view anytime later.

Last but not least, you're invited to join our community practice at this Tuesday's Yin Hour on Zoom. I'm really excited about the new Zoom integration with our member platform, because we'll get to practice together and connect with each other. This time, we'll do a 40-min guided yin practice followed by 20 minutes for Yin Yogi Q&A and Discussion.

What are your practice goals this fall? This friendly and growing yoga community is here to support you.

What's something you find easier now than you did when you were younger?

For me, it's saying no.

When you step onto your mat today, what’s one thing you’re hoping to release – physically or mentally?

For me, it’s the feeling that I need to keep proving myself. I’m practicing letting that go, and choosing instead to honor my wholeness – just as I am.

What are you reading right now – or what's a book that’s stayed with you?

I’m reading See No Stranger by Valarie Kaur – a memoir and manifesto of Revolutionary Love. She writes about her work as a civil rights lawyer, a Sikh, and a woman of color in post-9/11 America, offering Love as a force for justice, grief, and even rage. It’s a path I welcome in a world that can feel so divided.

Would love to hear what you’re reading – or a book that’s inspired you.
