Greetings from Colombia!

Reflections

I was super nervous when I went to my 200-hour yoga teacher training. I did mine as a full-on-immersion: 21-days at the Himalayan Institute with Kia Miller.

Would I be able to physically handle the training? Would I love the teacher I had chosen to study with?  Would I connect with the other yogis in the training  group?

Making that trek and that commitment were HUGE steps for me. Steps forward, and the best steps I have taken. ​

A love letter to sisterhood
And BIG love for Colombia

Hi from Bogota!

At that very first teacher training, I met Mariana.
I understood almost immediately I had gained a lifelong friend.

Since then, Mariana and I have travelled far and wide to continue our teacher training together.

Want to learn more about what is involved in yoga teacher training?
Perhaps a future newsletter will offer an inside peak into the commitment that’s made when becoming a yoga teacher!


So far, our journey has been powerful and transformative. It’s incredible to have a deep friendship throughout the process. We support each other, grieve together, celebrate our growth, and inspire one another.  

Oh, and sometimes we have disagreements . . . but mostly we LAUGH!

Mariana has been lovingly, insistently inviting me to Colombia since day one.
(Her lawyering skills are superb . . . she is super persuasive! 😉)

I am THRILLED that I have finally made good on my promise to visit.  

If you’ve never been, Bogota has more people than the entire state of Michigan. And, things here are elevated. I’m hanging out at about 8700 feet right now. ⛰️

Additional stops on this initial Colombian tour will include:
  • Santa Marta | On the coast for Mariana’s 4-day yoga retreat
  • Cartagena | Can’t wait to shop and play!

I’ll be writing and sharing more from Colombia next week.
Right now, I can’t wait to dive back into the adventure of it all!

Sending love and hugs,

♥️ m

P.S. Happy New Moon + Solar Eclipse on Saturday!
Carve out a moment to pause and plant those seeds for your pathway forward.

P.P.S. My classes at Satya are continuing while I am away!
No Yacht Club yoga this Saturday, Oct. 14.
