Greetings Mudita Community!
|
|
This month we celebrate Mudita’s beginning . . .
we opened our doors seven years ago!
Our anniversary brings me to a state of pause, a space to reflect on who we are, where we have been and where we are going. The color of the walls remains the same as when we opened, but today they are highlighted with our many shared experiences. The walls have witnessed a coming together, a common ground of solidarity in our life experiences - mourned losses, celebrated successes, felt love within our breath, surfacing of deep emotions, laughter and tears. They are saturated with the way we have held each other in silent reflection as we experienced the heaviness of world events. The walls hold your essence, the experience of your arriving on your mat and discovering your essence, a deeper sense of self you have forgotten. The vibrancy of the studio is held in the collective moments, each experience a part of the whole, a piece of Mudita.
As we enter this eight year, we are ready to bring you to greater states of awakening. Our roots are stronger, our branches a bit more expansive – ready to move you toward the dreams, the opportunities, the connections you desire. You are invited there to allow the foundation to support you as you gather in the bounty and create for yourself a direction, a clear path, toward what would bring you joy!
We have a phenomenal team of teachers who are ready to lead you to YOU, to help your practice expand, to share with you their wisdom and insight to create a stronger, calmer, more balanced being.
As for me, one foot on the ground or two, I stand open to serve your needs. I stand ready to offer you support on this fierce and wonderful journey. I offer doors for you to open, opportunities for you to deepen your journey with yoga. Whether you want to jump into my teacher training, try my new mentorship program, take a workshop or just attend class, you will find me in it with my whole heart, leading with my full attention and devotion,
each offered from my deep and unending gratitude,
in celebration of you!

The ancient yogis would learn yoga at the foot of their guru. This one-on-one experience allowed for direct access to the wisdom of the teacher and full undivided attention toward the student. This becomes a sacred space of connection, of one-pointed direction, of union.
There are many connotations and definitions of guru. For me it is simply
one who leads you to your light.
This is the intention for my new mentorship program –
to sit with you, to share experiences, to guide you toward your passion, your gifts,
to lead you to your light!
I would be my privilege to sit one-on-one with you!
|
|
This unique one-one-one mentoring program is designed just for you.
Each program will be tailored to meet your needs, your desires, your personal development. Together we will awaken your creative nature and invite a connection to your passion. Ignited in courage, fueled with vulnerability you will walk confidently in the direction of your highest good.

Celebrate the JOY-ful journey of self!
|
|
To get to offer this training each year brings me incredible JOY!
For me the practice of yoga is about direct experience. My hope is to provide you a space to have just that - a direct experience of you. A place that we can learn together, grow together, let yoga hold us as we delve into this phenomenal practice. We experience the vulnerability, courage, strength and power of yoga together.
I am forever grateful to get to continue my learning, to expand my being while guiding you toward that powerful union, which is the promise of yoga!

The teaching skills I am interested in cultivating
in both myself and others are about
sitting in the questions more than finding the answers.

500 Hour Yoga Teacher Training
next session begins
January 11th
|
|
I am interested in cultivating within you, within me, a space that we can be confident and comfortable in the questions. This will be your invitation – to travel with me and explore the many facets, nuances and paths of yoga; to be in a place of open ended questions allowing room for intuition, illumination, for infinite possibilities.
I offer this training as an immersion into the physical, spiritual, mystical aspects of yoga. The foundation of the training is a journey through the eight limbs of yoga, using the mind, body, spirit as the vehicle. A long lingering with the yamas and niyamas will provide us with an opportunity to explore self and in the end, to allow our life be our yoga practice.
The training will offer space for a tangible experience through experiential learning - exploring anatomy, studying asana, creating sequences, hands on adjusting or practice teaching. Within that space, we will leave room for deep inquiry, for the journey to reveal to you your profound truth. As one student said ‘you will get access to parts of yourself you may not know.’ My hope is to lead you, through the study of yoga, to rediscover, remember and reconnect with You!
|
|
There are two offerings starting in January within Be Joy Yoga School:
500 Hour Yoga Teacher Training
or
Whole Heart, Whole Being Training
|
|
These comprehensive teachings will offer wealth of opportunity to not only teach but to grow and expand on a personal, professional and community level.
|
|
|
|
I am committed to keeping the training small, providing a more intimate setting
for exploration.
All offerings begin
January 11
- the dates, time and further information is listed on website.
If you are ready to accept the invitation!

I am humbled and honored to provide these teaching.
I know the world is in need of healing. I am beginning with me.
I invite you to join me.

Celebrate a deepened Practice
|
|
These Fall workshops are a highlight of the year for me!
I offer them now as a weekend immersion, time to truly deepen our practice! My intention for the workshops is to give you the space to explore areas on a deeper level than we usually have time for in class. The benefits of this are vast – focused instruction; time to play; experience stages of poses; cultivate patience, awareness, and courage; feel what you are truly capable of! Yes, the ‘seemingly possible becoming possible’.
Though the workshops are titled the same each year, there will be new subtle (or not so subtle) nuances for you to discover, new poses to explore, and a new you to emPower!
I would love you to join me!

Shoulder Peace,
Hippy Love
Saturday, November 10
4:00 - 6:30 pm
|
|
|
Give your shoulders and hips an ultimate day of attention and care. Storage areas for much tension and stress, both the shoulder and hips can become immobilized and before we know it we are moving through this world like the Tin Man. We will learn how to stabilize these areas, for greater mobility and flexibility.
You will come away with muscles expanded, joints lubricated, moving fluidly. Warning: you might find your heart too!
|
|
|
|
Upside down and
all around!
Sunday, November 11
10:00 am - 12:30 pm
|
|
There is something incredibly empowering about moving your body in all directions - turning upside down, moving all around. Our spirits thrive when we move beyond places we hold ourselves safe and step into new possibilities. Both inversions and arm balances give us those opportunities - they are challenging, exciting, and give us space to develop mental and physical strength. All are welcome in this workshop - there is always a step you can take.
You will come away rejuvenated, enlivened and emPowered to move in new directions!

Big Beautiful Heart
Sunday, November 11
2:00 - 4:30 pm
|
|
|
Do you hear 'wheel ' pose and shudder? Feel you are not strong enough, limber enough for back bends? Does your low back say 'back bending is not for us?' Then this workshop is for you! Join me to learn how to safely and mindfully open your body, find suppleness and stability to back bend with freedom and ease.
You will come away with your big beautiful heart open and quite possibly with the notion that back bending is for you!

Celebrate with a retreat in Colombia
|
|
A retreat is a time to move from the every day to the extraordinary that lies right below the surface - hardly noticed in our hurried lives, in our busy-ness, yet ready for us as we slow down, take time for ourselves, as we retreat.
It is hard to put in words the magic of this retreat, though I try! Overall, there is sacredness, playfulness, adventure and relaxation; sun worship-ing, water skipping, nature abounding; heavenly food, deep inquiry! We will laugh, cry, hike, swim, lounge and dance - often in the same day!
If you have been waiting for this experience, the time is now! This is the 'one more time' year. Suffice it to say it is not to be missed.
Looking forward to retreating, to being, to experiencing the grandeur of YOU!
