Aloha America - Ola Europa

Dear Blog Readers,
I hope this finds you well…I have just arrived in Frankfurt, Germany with a few hour layover en route to Spain to start my Ibiza retreat.
The last 3 weeks have been incredibly powerful on many levels with my personal time on Maui. Studying with Eddie and Nicki always proves to be expanding [...]

Maui Blyss

With a whirlwind week that saw me fly from Sao Paulo through New York (clearing customs and immigration with ease….finally!) to San Francisco for 2 days and then to Maui…I have arrived on this magical island and feel welcomed and well received by the island and Maui family that lives here.
My 36 hours in San [...]

Tchau Brasil…Final Retiro

In the airport of Sao Paulo….after 3 incredible months of Vida Brasiliero, I am full of emotion and energy, excitement and enthusiasm and a revived sense of why I have chosen this path of teaching yoga.
As the story and timeline goes, after the Curitiba weekend, I came to Sao Paulo for the last weekend and [...]

Vajrabhumi & Curitiba

Friends…. seems like a long time since the Cidade de Deus / Nirvana experience and much has happened since then. The next day, I went for an urban hike in the city of Rio to a waterfall in Jardins Botanico.  Another CouchSurfer from the yoga class came over in the morning and we found or [...]

Cidade de Deus

Family and Friends…again….WOW! It’s been a whirlwind experience the last few days in Rio that have been stirring the pot of emotions, feelings and connections.

I have just landed in Rio de Janeiro after another incredible week in Florianopolis. I’ll re-cap the adventures and then when I have a bit more time post a bit about two things I’m pondering lately; dedication vs. discipline and taking risks…
After the very positive experiences in BH, I returned to the island [...]

Belo Horizante - Beautiful Horizon

Amigos do Mundo,
Since the last post, the effects of a very potent Full Moon have moved on…but not before effecting many people with varied emotions from my parents in North Carolina to a variety of people in Florianopolis. It seems as if many of us were guided into pretty deep and somewhat dark places [...]

Out of SP and Back to Florianopolis

Dear Blog readers…wow, I am eternally grateful and actually a bit surprised at how many of you are reading these posts and taking the time to write to me personally to comment on the state of (my) life these days. I feel totally loved and supported and appreciate all the communications.
I had a good [...]

Pensamentos e Emocoes

I am still working to ‘find balance’ between the great joy of teaching workshops and classes where I am ‘the star’ and the times when I feel isolated and alone. There is a growing comfort inside of me that accepts these rather drastic opposites and I am growing more and more comfortable with the [...]
