Welcome
Greetings fellow yogis...I welcome you to my website and classes and hope I may be of service to all yogis on the path to transformation.
I love to practice and teach yoga. Yoga is a powerful practice that can keep our bodies supple and strong, transform injury to healthy function, enrich our spirit, and calm our minds. I teach yogis of all experience levels to usher in better physical health, spiritual well-being and joy!
May we be fortunate enough to uncover truth and beauty in ourselves and others.
Om Nama Shivaya
Kindness House Morning Invocation
May I be true today. May I be open. May I be strong.May I be generous. May I be grateful. May I laugh. May my life this day be of benefit to all beings.
May I live simply today, avoiding clutter and excess. May I tap my strengths and gain understanding of my weaknesses. May I support each person I meet in the sacred journey, for the benefit of everyone, everywhere.
May I practice genuine, deep kindness and goodwill without limits. May I see through the illusions posed by selfish thoughts.
May I experience the joy and freedom of cherishing others more than myself.

A Blessing for the Senses
May you realize that your body is a faithful and beautiful friend of your soul,
And may you be peaceful and joyful and recognize that your senses are sacred thresholds.
May you realize that holiness is mindful, gazing, feeling, hearing and touching.
May your senses gather you and bring you home. May your senses always enable you to celebrate the universe and the mystery and possibilities in your presence here.
May the Eros of the Earth bless you.
