slow down (& do some yoga)

I’m uplifting beauty-full friends who are change makers this week, and today I want to uplift two brilliant yogis and one important cause:* My friend Willa Worsfold (aka my big sister) … I taught her daughter music at Miles River Middle School in Hamilton, Massachusetts; she taught me yoga not long after and has consistently been one of the most important sounding boards of my “grown up” life. We’ve shared music, soul talk, spiritual growth, social action, and heart-full connection since approximately 2005. I’m on her team for an upcoming fundraiser - Yoga Reaches Out (see item 3 below).* My friend Ree Coleman, met in 2018ish at a women’s networking event (go Port City Women!) This morning I took her free virtual Kundalini class and found myself re-stabilized and grounded after an intense day yesterday. * On Sunday May 4 I’ll join Willa and a bunch of other incredible humans from the North Shore of Boston to raise money for Boston Children’s Hospital through the beautiful fundraiser Yoga Reaches Out. To learn more or to make a donation, check out my fundraising page here. I’m so grateful to be returning to shared yoga spaces again after taking time away from teaching yoga and mostly practicing at home.
