The Yoga Pantry

“As we grow in awareness, we grow in choice. And that’s where the magic lives.” - Anon Happy Wednesday ☺️ only a couple more days until the long weekend, yahoooo! Let's talk energies, so you can make the most out of your mini break (if you get one that is). Ever had one of those days where you feel totally inspired, clear-headed, and on top of the world… followed by another where you can barely peel yourself off the couch or everything feels just a little chaotic? 🖐️Me. All. The. Time!!!!!...

“Your heart knows the way. Run in that direction.” – Rumi Happy Thursday, I've been wondering what to write about, so it's taken me a couple of weeks to come out with a new Yogi Note. I think this one's a good un ☺️ Let's talk about intuition, how yoga not only teaches us to stretch, strengthen, and breathe, but also to tune in to the quieter, wiser parts of ourselves. The parts that don’t shout, but gently nudge. The parts that already know what we need physically, emotionally,...

“Yoga is not about touching your toes, it’s about what you learn on the way down.” – Unknown Hey lovely, Ever noticed how much lighter you feel after a yoga class? How even a few minutes of sitting quietly with your breath can shift your whole mood? It’s not just in your head (though your head definitely benefits too) it’s real. Yoga and meditation have this amazing way of helping us feel more human and more whole, especially when life gets a bit… well, lifey. And here’s the best part:...

“You don’t have to be fully healed to show up. You just have to feel safe enough to begin.” – Unknown Hey lovely, Have you ever stepped onto your mat and felt like something deeper than just your muscles were stretching? Like your body was holding onto more than just tension from a long day? That’s because yoga doesn’t just work on the physical body; it also touches the places where our stories, stress, and sometimes even our wounds live. I was recently approached about teaching a private...

“How you do anything is how you do everything.”– Unknown Well hello autumn, Along with the change of seasons also comes a change in energy, seasonal colds and maybe a feeling of sluggishness or a dip in mood. This is definitely a time to stay off social media, connect with friends and family and wrap yourself up in the warmth of community. And I gotta say we have a beautiful warm and inviting community at The Yoga Pantry. I have been covering the Yin classes for Cami over the past two weeks...

“Wisdom is knowing when to rest, courage is knowing when to rise.”– Unknown Hey lovely, You know those moments in yoga when you're holding a pose and you're not sure whether to lean in or ease out, and somehow both feel right? That’s kind of where I’ve been lately. Figuring out when to hold steady, when to let go, and how to dance between the two without tipping too far in either direction. As the energy of the year begins to pick up momentum, many of us are slipping into our rhythms, some...

“When you let go, you create space for something better.” – Unknown Happy Groundhog day lol, yup it's Thursday again, ALREADY! And April is just around the corner 😭...I mean, that's just ridiculous! Meanwhile, I had a fantastic response to last week's Yogi Note, it definitely resonated with quite a few of you, so after exploring the surprising effects of emotional release in yoga last time, let’s take it a step further. What happens after those emotions surface? How do we move through them...

“The body keeps the score, and yoga is a way to rewrite the story.” – Bessel van der Kolk. Ermergherd! How is it Thursday already? Do you ever feel like your life is just one giant Groundhog Day? I feel like that every time I hit Wednesday! Meanwhile, I wanted to talk about yogasana and the emotional release that can sometimes rise up out of nowhere and smack us in the feels. Have you ever found yourself unexpectedly emotional during a yoga practice? Maybe frustration bubbles up in an intense...

“Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes… including you.” – Anne Lamott. Dear Beautiful Yogis, I've talked about the importance of rest, self-care and slowing down at great length in previous Yogi Notes but it's something that we as a modern society struggle with. We live in a world that celebrates action, productivity, and doing more. Rest, on the other hand, is often seen as a reward for hard work, something we “earn” after we’ve checked everything off the list....

“Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.” – Arthur Ashe Hello lovelies, Lately, I’ve found myself tangled in the web of procrastination—that familiar cycle of postponing tasks, feeling overwhelmed, and convincing myself that I don’t have enough time, energy, or motivation. Can you relate? At the heart of this struggle is something deeper than just a lack of productivity. It’s the mindset of lack—the belief that we’re missing something essential before we can take action. We...
