spontaneous yoga at pigeon cay

Spontaneous yoga! One of the many things I love about yoga is that you can take it anywhere! ...Even in the middle of the ocean on a deserted island with nothing but sand and palm trees. Rick and a Jasmine joined me for some playful yoga using a beached log as a challenge and inspiration. So fun!

yoga soul connection

Yoga Soul Connection I recently got to spend a week teaching/ practicing yoga with Kathy Brew... a native New Yorker who was vacationing in Roatan for a retreat. She's been practicing yoga for over 40 years and I felt so humbled and honored to teach classes to her. We connected at the heart and one of my most memorable yoga moments was us doing headstand together. Thank you, Kathy, for inspiring me!

meditation station


yogi fun!

There's so much love in this group. We spent hours at the pool playing, meditating, and namaste-ing.

a hidden gem

Nature adventure! We found a hidden gem in Montezuma, Costa Rica...it's a river with waterfalls that leads directly into the ocean. It was a beautiful day of adventure, meditation, and yogi play. I couldn't resist the urge to turn upward dog into Aerial, the little mermaid.

coconuts!

A special treat after a sunset yoga class, just-picked-off-the- palm coconuts decorated with a hibiscus. There's nothing better than rehydrating after yoga with coconut water!
