One week from today, I will be home… I am beyond excited to get home and meet my Granddaughter (she will be 1 month old!), hug my people and be with my dogs. I am also acutely aware of how much I will miss this place – the program, the people, the beauty, the peace […]
As I am enjoying a day off, it is interesting to watch the journey continue to unfold. The journey of my mind and body both. After an outing to Rishikesh a week ago, I struggled with an upset stomach – likely a result of the delicious fresh juice I enjoyed. It was worth every sip, […]
I feel like I have been posting more a rehash of what’s been happening, which I have heard some of you like, but I want to be more intentional with this blog. To really get into the consciousness of the journey, not just this current fantastic one but the everyday journey’s as well. As […]
Yesterday there were waves and waves of monkey’s that came through the ashram. It started at breakfast when we saw one eating banana peels out of the cafeteria trash. After lunch there was a huge group in the trees, and on the hills and stairs above the cafeteria – we watched them and giggled at […]

I haven’t posted in a few days because I have honestly been struggling. Struggling with disconnecting from home, sleep, self-doubt, not feeling my best, all the things. I know this is part of the process and a necessary step in transformation and I am here facing it and working to push through. Since day one, […]
Day One was amazing!! Fire ceremony started us off, a priest led us through a ceremony to cleanse our energy and then unite and bring energy to our training, finally we sent the energy to those we love around the world to connect them to our experience here. We were each anointed and then had […]
Today, at shortly after noon local time, I arrived at my destination – Rishikesh Yogapeeth in Rishikesh Uttarakhand India, the location of House of Om’s 300 hour yoga teacher training program!! Approximately 36 hours of traveling completed – 4 flights, a taxi and a steep hike! It is now end of day Wednesday here (mid-morning […]
I have just landed in London! I am not sure it has all hit me yet, the weekend was so full and I am running on fumes. Saturday I taught my final yoga class for 6 weeks, I was unexpectedly emotional and raw (this space and this community are such a huge part of my […]
