  • Ready For Adventure
    As much as I love to be grounded and at home there is a large part of my soul that is an adventurer. Throughout my life I have travelled, exploring different countries and cultures. I would pack my bag for a week or two and end up staying months, I planned to be in Rome a year and ended up spending two! It’s been 10 years since my last extra long adventure in Mexico and Wooddy and I are ready for the next chapter together……. This September we are off to Southern Spain. For a new, hot, beach filled adventure….
  • What is The Radiance Practice?

  • Knowing what you need
    Life gets a rather crazy over Christmas and chances are things ran away with you a little! Then January hits and you vow to do your yoga practice twice a day and only eat green soup with gluten free crackers and never let sugar pass your lips again…. help! and by January 20th or maybe 15th or maybe even the 10th everything is hard work and all you want to do is eat cake and stay in bed. I have always been all or nothing. Growing up I was either so committed, training for a big event, competing or chilling…
