FULL MOON: SATURDAY 1/3/2026

NEW MOON: SUNDAY1/18/2026

We made it! To 2026. As I write this post today, Minneapolis is organizing and protesting the illegal and deadly force of ICE in the city and state. What does this have to do with Yoga, you ask? Well, the short of it is this: we must stay peaceful, strong, and together. Loud, too. We protect us. Yoking. Connection. The Shanti Mantra above is a great way to express what I’m trying to express. Please, be safe, be kind, be helpful if at all possible.

Tuesday 1/6 was our first Led Primary Series class of this year at Nokomis Yoga. : ) Next week’s will be a Mysore Style/self practice date. (1/13/2026.) Remember, the class time is 5:45-7:45pm, but that doesn’t mean you have to be there for your practice the whole 2 hours. Come over when you can and do what you’ve got. ❤

I will be doing a second Led Primary Series class, this month, on Tuesday 1/20/2026. 6pm- 7:30. Unless otherwise noted, all classes are held at Nokomis Yoga. Questions? Check the Class Offerings Page and Mysore Page. If you’re still unsure, check my contact page and send a message.

January 2023!

Some things to mention before I forget!

February is coming up fast. The moon days for February this year are Sundays.

FULL MOON: Sunday 2/5/2023

NEW MOON : Sunday 2/19/2023

I am not teaching at the Yoga Center anymore, but this year is the 10 year anniversary of my Yoga Study 500 hours completed there. In 2013 I also began an Ashtanga practice after taking a weeklong Primary Series immersion with David Swenson there. He is returning this spring for a weekend! Check out the workshop offerings at the Yoga Center Https://theyogacenterretreat.com/workshops/retreat site for the weekend of 4/21/2023 to 4/23/2023. I may check out the arm balance/float offering, as I am still figuring a lot of these things out nowadays.

Another thing worth mentioning in the short term is tacos! Yes, tacos. It’s becoming a very new tradition to go get some tacos with John and Hiromi from the Tuesday Ashtanga class afterwards. No pressure! It’s just a nice way to spice up the winter nights after class if you’re so inclined. : ) Do inquire if you’re interested.

A couple of weeks ago I introduced an alternative vinyasa for anyone curious about keeping with their Tristhana when their upper body might be trying too hard to keep up.(shoulder/wrist/etc pains or problems). While it’s not a cure-all, once you get the rhythm of it you may find it helpful when attempting to take care of any issues with the upper body for a while. I tried this out during a primary series led class, after a very taxing weekend. I could keep up with the vinyasa count and my shoulders didn’t get sore.❤️

Here’s the YouTube link that I found and worked with. Enjoy!
