Flowing with Faith

You don't have to arrive feeling refreshed.

Honestly...
it's been over 100° most of the week;
So if you're feeling a little wilted, you're probably not alone.

Yoga doesn't ask us to have more energy.
It doesn't ask us to feel inspired.
It doesn't ask us to be anything other than who we are.

It simply invites us to show up.

We'll breathe.
We'll move.
We'll unwind.

And maybe...
we'll find a little coolness,
even if we can't cool the weather. 💙

I'd love to practice with you this week:

💙 Thursday & Friday Morning Yoga | 9:30 AM
💰 Always Free/Donation-Based

Yoga is never about mastering a posture;
it's always about coming home to yourself. 🤍

Some mornings we arrive feeling strong.
Some mornings we're tired, stiff, anxious, grieving, or carrying more than we expected.

Yoga doesn't ask us to be different than we are.
It simply invites us to show up.

Every breath...
Every stretch...
Every moment of stillness...
..is another opportunity to reconnect with ourselves.

Whether you're brand new to yoga or have been practicing for years, there's a place for you here:

🕤 9:30 Morning Yoga

Come exactly as you are.
Leave feeling a little more like yourself.

🎇 Still Learning. Still Growing. Still Becoming. 🎆

Last weekend we celebrated Independence Day a little differently… with a room full of humans practicing their own kind of freedom. ❤️🤍💙

I called this one our Fireworks Pose — a reminder that we all have a little spark inside us. A little light. A little strength. A little something worth celebrating.

Our country is 250 years old this year — still young, still learning, still growing. And honestly? So are we.

The practice of yoga reminds us that we don’t have to have it all figured out to keep showing up. We can honor where we’ve been, acknowledge where we are, and continue becoming more compassionate, more connected, and more present.

Freedom isn’t just something we celebrate once a year. It’s something we practice — in our bodies, our minds, and the way we show up for one another.

Join us this week as we celebrate community yoga:

📅 Thursday & Friday Morning Yoga at 9:30 AM
💰 Donation-based community classes
📍

All bodies, all levels, all are welcome

Come breathe, move, connect, and remember: you belong here. 💛🌟

Mercury Retrograde must be in full swing... 🙃

I didn't even realize I took this photo until I found it in my camera roll later.

A Sideways yoga mat.
A backward perspective.
An accidental snapshot.
Half my feet.
Random yoga props.
No memory of taking it.

Checks out.

The last few weeks have been a little upside down around here. Between the Solstice schedule, travel, being under the weather, and taking some time to recover, life has been asking me to slow down and listen, but I'm happy to be returning to my regular morning classes and being back on the mat with you this week.

If life has felt a little backward lately, you're not alone. Let's come together, move, breathe, and find our center again. Morning free/donation based Yoga with me at Lifted Lotus Yoga returns to our regular schedule this week:

🧘 Thursday | 9:30 AM
🧘 Friday | 9:30 AM

See you on the mat. ✨

There’s something about setting up a room before people arrive. The quiet. The intention. The reminder of *why* I do this in the first place.

Last week at the veterans retreat, I had the opportunity to lead chair yoga overlooking Lake Tahoe, and as I arranged each chair, my "why" hit me again:

“To help people get out of their minds and back into their bodies.”

That mission matters deeply to me, especially in spaces where accessibility, nervous system support, and feeling safe in your own body truly matter. So much so that I came home and immediately started my Accessible Yoga certification program.
(Yes, yes… major life decisions within two weeks of a retreat. Apparently this is who I am now. 😂)

This week’s classes remain free/donation-based because yoga should be accessible to every body - every age, every ability, every season of life.

No pressure. No perfection. Just a place to land.
