Hello, dear yogis! 

Fall is definitely here in Michigan: longer nights, cooler air, spectacular sunsets, and easier parking when I pick up my prescription.

Less outdoor teaching means expanded opportunity for me to dig back in to studying and writing. My desk may look a disaster, but I promise, something beautiful is being built with YOU in mind. 

Questions: When life gets extra busy, or there are lots of demands on your time, how do you stay grounded and clear? What helps you remain present amidst the constant demands of daily life?

Every summer Mike and I dream of sailing to Beaver Island. This year, we decided we could get there another way. The gorgeous views during the quick flight from Charlevoix were worth the queasy stomach.

Our island getaway was only for a few days; I am amazed at how impactful it was. I live in a gorgeous place, but the change of scenery was super rejuvenating. There's something truly magical about the stillness, the darkness, the ruggedness, and the quiet that permeates Beaver Island.

Wow! It's mid-October, and when I look out my window, I still see green leaves. Michigan's extended summer season is cause for celebration. 

THANK YOU for the opportunity to connect with SO MANY of you in summer 2021! It has been wonderful. We've done yoga on decks, lawns, beaches, studios, farms, and even inside the "Pickleball Palace!" Amazing.
