The Yoga Room
Yoga Room Ann Arbor 2.0 Update July 13, 2016
Two of my favorite sayings I’ve heard from well-wishers lately have been, “Life is getting kind of lifey” and “Sometimes the Universe gives you money, and sometimes the Universe gives you time.” Let me explain how things have been going since the last time I’ve seen many of you… My husband and I took …
Yoga Room Ann Arbor 2.0 Renovation Project
The yoga studio renovations at our new house have been underway for the past month!

This past August I hosted an intimate yoga retreat for those in helping & healing professions in Glen Arbor, MI. Participants included school teachers, massage therapists and medical professionals.

17 Years of Teaching…And Still Learning
Wow, I can’t believe I have been a Registered Yoga Teacher for 17 years now! When I look back at my early years of teaching I have to admit that I cringe a little. There was just so much I didn’t know back then. Over almost two decades I have learned and grown so much, …
