Grace

“I do not understand the mystery of grace; only that it meets us where we are and does not leave us where it found us. “ -Anne Lamott

I was the furthest thing from graceful as a kid. I preferred climbing trees, frolicking in the woods, rolling down hills and getting grass stained knees. I was curious about everything. Nature was my teacher and sanctuary, where everything made sense and I felt free. 

Grace was about giving thanks at dinner and a higher power that was watching over me. It was clear to me that I did not possess its elegance. 

Life has taught me resilience.  Each threshold I’ve passed through has narrowed and clarified my path. Witnessing the towers fall sent me back to Vermont and gave me time steep in wisdom practices that called me to explore bigger mountains and bluer skies. 

This yearning for freedom landed me Colorado and empowered me to grow myself and open to my own graceful way of being in this world. 

It happened in my first Yoga teacher training: an immersion into Anusara Yoga focused on aligning the physical body with the hearts intention, often described as “flowing with grace.” I learned how to align my body from the inside out and tap into my innate strength and inner power. The song amazing grace poured out me as I stepped forward into living Yoga. 

My life continued to unfold, curiosity took me deeper and deeper into the inner workings of somatic movement. As fate would have it, a car accident catapulted me into a new chapter of my life. Hit by a Mack truck from behind, I emerged physically intact but my inner world was in shambles. 

I learned to trust the earth as my partner, explore my inner landscape and discover pathways of connectivity into my inner power and resilient strength.

My absolute joy is guiding my clients into their own graceful way of being in this world: one breath, one movement at a time.
