Did you know that Yoga was part of the original Woodstock festival?

It wasn't planned.

Before the festival even began, the crowd size had become unexpectedly huge and stifling. Michael Lang, Woodstock's organizer was panicking... worried that things would get out of control. He called his friend, artist Peter Max and asked if he had any ideas for how to keep the crowd calm. Peter said, "you need Swami Satchidananda".

Swami Satchidananda was an Indian teacher that came to the USA in the 1960's to teach Americans how to find inner peace through the ancient practice of Yoga.

Woodstock organizers flew him in by chopper and put him on stage. He opened Woodstock with the sacred Sanskrit "Hari Om" chant, used to facilitate an elevation in consciousness. He then invoked a profound meditative silence amongst the sea of revelers and instructed the crowd, "Let us not fight for peace, but find peace within ourselves".

And that is how half a million young Americans were introduced to Yoga.

Yoga teaches us how to quiet the restlessness, discomfort, and chatter in the body and mind so that we can explore the deeper realms of consciousness and discover inner peace.

Coincidentally, my Yoga journey started in 1999 at Swami Satchidananda's school of Integral Yoga in Greenwich Village, New York City. Then I did a residential teacher training at the Satchidananda Ashram in Virginia, a sacred space in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains that was donated to Swami Satchidananda by musician/songwriter Carole King.

It is an honor for me to be able to continue this legacy and share Yoga with you at the Hippie Magic Festival Buck Lake Ranch this Saturday and Sunday morning from 9:00-10:30 am.

This will kick off an awesome lineup of musical performances that will transport you back to the free-spirited magic of the summer of love.

Let us dedicate a sliver of our weekend to cultivating inner peace together.

Om Shanti (Peace)

Soulful Yoga & Peace Meditation @ Hippie Magic Festival - Sept. 12 &13

I hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend. Me and this box of tissues had a great time out on the lake, despite me having a bit of a cold 🤧

We come into contact with viruses and other pathogens daily. But why do we sometimes get sick and other times go unfazed? From an ancient healing perspective, it comes down to the integrity of our energetic system. Lack of awareness, physical tension, bad eating habits, poor sleep, and psychological stress disrupts the natural flow of vital energy through the system, hindering our body's intelligence and weakening our immunity.

Over the weekend I customized my Yoga practice and adapted my patterns to strengthen my vitality and promote healing. I am happy to say I am feeling normal again. It was a good wake up call to be more mindful and vigilant with my well-being. As the saying goes, "If you don't make the time for your wellness, you will be forced to make time for your illness".

This evening at 6:00 pm I will be hosting another Restore and Reconnect - Therapeutic Yoga @ Pretty Lake. Our practice will be dedicated to cultivating awareness, crafting an influential mindset, and promoting a healthy energetic system, including some practices that strengthen our immunity and respiratory health.

What if your next vacation brought you home to yourself?

We all lose touch with ourselves.

Caught up in the demands of a fast-paced world... sometimes simply trying to survive, we slowly become disconnected from the vibrant, creative spirit within us. The part of us that feels connected to something greater. The part that still feels curious, alive, and excited about the possibilities of what comes next.

That is what my Back to Your Roots Retreat is all about.

It is not simply a week away on a beautiful island. It’s an opportunity to reconnect with a part of yourself that may have gotten buried beneath the noise, responsibilities, expectations, and routines of everyday life.

The part of you that remembers your own powerful potential.

The part that recognizes what is needed to feel more balanced, more alive, and more fully yourself.

The part of you that can hear the wise whispers of divine guidance.

The part you can trust to take the next steps forward into whatever life chapter happens next.

Through a mindfully curated blend of therapeutic yoga, healing arts, soulful adventures, authentic connection, and time in nature, we will create space to slow down, breathe deeply, listen inward, and remember who we are...and why it matters.

Because sometimes finding your way forward begins with finding your way back.

Back to the part of you that existed long before this life and will continue to exist after.
Back to the wise old sage within.
Back to your roots.

Full moon over Pretty Lake. No filter.

The more I age the more I appreciate my roots. I will never stop adventuring in exotic lands, but home is definitely where the heart is ❤️
