Your year-end reset starts here—don’t miss this✨

Greetings, Explorers -
I welcome you into this Holiday newsletter with one of my absolute favorite Ram Dass quotes; one which I find myself reflecting upon annually at this time of year:
The wit, humor, and wisdom of these words!👌🏼❤️✨
Often this time of year we’re faced with one of our best teachers; our families. This may be by sharing extra space with family on:
a physical plane (seeing those we don’t often see)
a time-plane (spending more time with those we regularly, and/or less-regularly, see)
an energetic/spiritual plane (recalling and reflecting on family no longer with us; no longer here perhaps due to passing on, or due to separation by choice; those we’re no longer connected with in this physical form).
Regardless of the planes we’re meeting our family on, let’s welcome these interactions with family, friends, and even “strangers” to serve as our teachers. These interactions can sometimes be the best (and most difficult!) lessons for our growth.
Who are you, and who do you become in the face of conflict? Disagreement? Frustration?
I find it comes down to balance, and remembering it’s a constant practice; that continuing to return to You.
What does this look like?
Certainly not abandoning yourself to appease others - and - also not contributing to unnecessary banter for the sake of making a point that may be disregarded upon receipt.
It’s a balance. A dance. A lila, or play, within this life we’re moving through.
Let’s not take it all so seriously.
Let go of what’s not necessary to discuss or argue about.
Take space for yourself when you need it.
Simply - breathe!
And - give yourself grace! You are human, after all. Show up. Do your best. And, offer yourself grace - we’re not striving for perfection; rather a continual growth along this journey we’re calling life.
For me, I often find I feel grounded when I come back to the essence of this season: love, giving, and joy.
And we don’t even need a season for this. We can hold the essence of the holidays in our hearts and our beings every day of the year.
When we continually practice this balance, and this returning to our Selves, it may act as a compass so that we may move through this life with more grace, love, and ease - every day of the year.
And as we live, act, and move in this way, so too then, those around us may receive that most precious gift of our presence - and sometimes - just sometimes - it may even ripple out like the waves in an ocean and begin touching the lives of many.
Dive into Your Heart Space Center and welcome the ripple to begin - or continue - through the important, deep work of returning to You.
We have plenty of opportunities to do this; for those in Boise, beginning this Sunday, December 7 - let go, and release through a Somatic Breathwork Ceremony!
For those local to Boise, and everywhere else in the world - our 1:1 work is available in-person and virtually, and we’ve got a SPECIAL for you to invest in You for 2026!
And let’s plant the seed too, for 2027 - secure your spot at the VERY Early Satya Rate for our 2027 Costa Rica Back to Nature, Back to Self Retreat!

This 7-week program is for 200 hr+ certified Yoga Teachers who are hesitant to step into their desire and calling to share the practice of yoga.
I’ve been there, and know many yoga teachers who have, too!
Through regular, 1:1 coaching, this program will enable you, as a certified yoga teacher, to:
Build confidence to feel ready to step into a role of teaching Vinyasa Yoga
Stepping more fully into your “Why”
Improving sequencing skills
Move beyond any fear(s) that may be holding you back from stepping into your role as a Yoga Teacher
Support from me (!), your designated Coach, to work with, 1:1, through this 7-week program as you step more fully into your calling to teach Vinyasa Yoga.
Between each 1:1 session there will be observation homework, and opportunity to add supplemental practice public classes, too.

I’m graduating from Somatic Experiencing International (SEI) in February!👩🏼🎓
It’s bittersweet! Exciting to be closing this chapter - and - as a forever-student, I’m sad to close this door.
As such, I’m in the process of becoming an SEI training assistant, upon graduation! This will allow me additional learning and growth so I may continue to provide the best experience possible for our Heart Space Center SE Explorers.
Because of my upcoming graduation, The Heart Space Center SE rates will be increasing in Spring, 2026.
If you want to secure our 2025 rates for the entirety, or part of 2026, you’re welcome to purchase a six or twelve-month New Year’s Package (see above under the, “2026 Deepen Connection, Increase Capacity and Return to You” section for this special package - interest-free payment plans available!).
Sending loving kindness to You, and all sentient Beings, everywhere.
Join me now - and any time - in this special, 10-minute guided Metta meditation.
THANK YOU! - to everyone who contributed to our Kirtan food donations in November!
We chose to begin a monthly food drive in conjunction with our monthly donation-based Kirtan offerings at Ananda Yoga Space, and you delivered!
We had a very full hamper of food delivered to St. Mary’s Food Bank in November.
With a full December, we aren’t able to offer Kirtan this month, but there’s still opportunity to donate! Next time you visit Ananda, feel free to drop your non-perishable foods in the hamper next to the water jug, and I’ll do a December drop-off to St. Mary’s before I depart for holiday travel on December 19.
Specifically needed items at St. Mary’s are listed here, but anything helps:
Peanut butter
Any form of canned protein; beans, tuna, etc.
Canned ravioli-type dinners
Macaroni and cheese
Canned soup
LOVE-SERVE-REMEMBER
🤍
I am so grateful for The Heart Space Center Explorers, and the community that’s been built through you!
Wishing you all an abundant, joyful, and playful holiday season. Connect with that Inner Child. Give yourself space when you need it. Allow yourself to bask in the glow of the holiday spirit and magic - yes, even at our age, it’s possible✨
I will be traveling for the holidays; celebrating the upcoming nuptials of my beautiful sister-in-law and her fiance who we already consider part of the family. Partaking in Winter Solstice, Christmas, New Years, and then celebrating the arrival of my other beautiful sister-in-law’s FIRST baby - the FIRST grandchild on my husband’s side of the family!
Celebrating love, giving, joy, and incoming life. I don’t think it gets better than that!
For all of this celebrating, I will be away December 19-January 9.
Please squeeze in a session (or 2!) where there’s space before my departure, and upon my return. It’s a busy time of year, so extra important to take the time and space for you to be with You. I’m humbled and grateful for your trust in me to hold that space for You.
So much gratitude, dear Explorers🤍
Wishing You and Yours all the love, abundance, and joy throughout the holiday season, into 2026, and beyond!
