Let’s experience the March Moments together! Using nature as our guide, we will notice as winter melts into spring.
Step into spring during this weekend experience designed to bring taste back into life!
Spring is the season of the Goddess…..water, the moon, emotions and aliveness. Time to leave the slumber of winter behind to shake out and celebrate the boundless creative force that resides within.
Awaken and delight your senses with mouthwatering meals, heady aromas of essential oils, sensual movement and heart opening rituals. We will journal, practice, dance, meditate and drum, all to draw us into this moment……which is vibrant and perfect.
Life is meant to be stirred up! Don’t second guess or wonder if you are at the ‘right level’. Once I know who is coming I will be tailoring the classes and the weekend so that it feels right for all.

Held at Washington Yoga Center (Tenleytown DC) http://washingtonyogacenter.com/apps/mindbody/enrollments
As we enter this holiday season it is important to take time for self care.
In this workshop we begin by settling into simple yin postures to remove any holding or tension in the body. Once settled you will lie on your back and be led through a complete Yoga Nidra to relax and center the mind. Aaaaahhhhhh……….
Who should attend:
Anyone looking to de-stress from the hustle bustle of daily life and step toward positive life changes.
All levels are welcome! No yoga experience is required.
What will be taught:
Yoga Nidra, often called yogic sleep, is a sacred practice of guided deep relaxation. In this workshop you lie in a comfortable supported position while led through a body scan and visualizations that take the mind into a state which lies between awake and asleep. A place where we are most open to potential change. By making an intention (Sankalpa) and planting it in this fertile soil of the subconscious it is bound to manifest.
What will the student walk away with:
This workshop will leave you rested, centered and refreshed. A continued regular practice helps to uncover and bring forth your truest desires and turn them into life changes. Other benefits can include reduced anxiety, stabilization of blood sugars, improved sleep and a better understanding of self.
Wear comfortable clothing and bring a mat or towel to lie on.
Fall is the season of air in Ayurveda. A transition from the lazy warm days of summer to the faster rhythm of a calendar filled with fall activities.
Autumn, with it’s crisp breezes, is the season for clearing out the old and taking stock of life. Come explore the changing landscape outside and within during this two day immersion.
Fall into a weekend of nature, yoga, ritual and hikes at Serenity Circle Yoga …..A Spa For the Soul, right here in Cabin John. Together we will practice, cook, meditate, make plant medicines, hold a fire ceremony and laugh. Nature + Nourishment + The Moon will be our guides.
Take this pause at Serenity Circle Yoga - A Spa For the Soul - and leave centered, relaxed and rested, with feet planted and a deeper sense of self .
If you feel something stirring inside - Sign up! Don’t second guess or wonder if you are at the ‘right level’. Once I know who is coming I will be tailoring the classes and the weekend so that it feels right for all.

Yin Yoga is the perfect complement to our busy lives. Winter is a Yin season and invites us to go inside. In the Yin practice we pause to 'hang out' in some simple poses to find our center and moisturize our creaky joints.
We move slow. We move mindfully.
Any-body can do Yin!
I am loving the Yin! Incorporating a couple of poses into the beginning of each class ...... Sitting in the postures on the floor as I eat, read and write. Yet another new unexplored 'yoga' world has unveiled itself to me.
I plan to hold two hour Yin workshops every month. The next one scheduled is below!
Come on this journey into you. Through the deeper teachings of Yoga and Ayurveda, be reawakened to the beauty that sits within each moment. Live in connection to the Source within you and around you. Breathe love and enjoy direct perception of the consciousness of all living beings.
This in depth training channels the Wisdom Knowledge of the Vedas and the Light from the Source that exists within us, into techniques and lifestyle regimens which enable Self Actualization and the ability to effectively help others and the world, as one Unified creation. It builds upon the knowledge of Ayurveda and Tantra with the underlying great river of Classical Yoga.
For teachers, healers, sacred rebels and students wishing to deepen their practice!
Participants will learn to:
Expand your definition of yoga teacher into a Yoga and Ayurvedic lifestyle counselor. This will include knowledge of New Earth nutritional therapy, therapeutic touch, aromatherapy, yoga of herbs and spices, sound therapy, tantric dance, meditation and and Yoga Therapy. Skills will be learned to expand the scope of private and group practices, bringing effective life regimens to help colleagues, friends, families, clients and students experience their highest potential of peace and prosperity.
Take your Personal Practice to a deeper and more masterful level and empower yourself to be a facilitator of healing for others!

Join me for “March Manifestation”!
Yogis,
March is an odd month. Not exactly winter, but definitely not spring. A little taste of everything….. snow, rain, clouds, sun, cold and warm. We venture out some days but are then pushed back into retreat on others. A transition.
March is like a doorway. The frozen tundra of February behind us, and the promise of the light of April ahead. A month where we begin to plant the seeds for what we want to bloom as the sun rises higher in the sky.
So what is it that you want to grow in your life? Join me for “March Manifestation” and let’s take this journey of transformation together!
March Manifestation
Dates: Entire month of March
Cost: $15
Frequency: Every Single Day
Time: Minimum of 15 minutes (everyone has 15 minutes…everyone)
Where: In your home
How: Daily emails with meditation techniques, activities and manifestation tools
Who: Anyone! Forming our own community to share questions, ideas and discoveries
End Vision: Bringing what you desire toward you….creating your life
Often it can feel that life is happening to us. This month is designed to shift us from merely observers to creators. We will spend time seeing where we are, uncovering what it is that we want and then partnering with the Universe to move toward it. No experience needed!
During this month of March I will help you design 15 minutes a day spent solely on the inner work required to create. Create what? ……whatever it is that you desire.
So take the leap and join in! Why not! All I need is an email and you will be put on my meditation email DL with a lot more info to follow!
It takes a month to make something a habit,
