As we ease into autumn, there's a naturally gravity toward slowing down, reconnecting with ourselves, and remembering our priorities. 🍂

Today's new 30 min yin yoga for deep tissues will help guide you on your journey in.

I'm happy to be back in my studio after months of travel, and in this video I've got the body mic on – so you'll hear me talking live for the first time in a while after all the voiceover videos I've been doing.

What do you notice shifting in your practice as the seasons change? 🍁

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.

Members, I’d love your feedback on the yoga calendar.

I finally feel like we now have enough classes in the catalog to create a daily schedule – instead of the current 4 classes per week – without repeating classes too often.

Of course, I know how full everyone’s lives are. A daily calendar wouldn’t mean you’re expected to practice every day! It would simply be a guide, taking the guesswork out of what to choose whenever you log in.

You may have noticed I’ve been creating more shorter classes recently, with the idea that daily practice can feel more doable when sessions are under 20 or 30 minutes.

How often do you practice right now? And would a daily calendar feel helpful for you?

I was listening to an overview of the history, theory and practice of Tantra.  I was sitting cross legged and was performing various Yin moves for neck, shoulders and breath.  When the chapter ended a total body energetic rush moved up my torso.  That is when the warmth surrounded my spine.  It then encompassed my shoulder, neck and upper back.  There was an ease in my scapula.  It was as thought it was targeting my old injury for healing.
