Happy Autumn! Autumn shows how beautiful it is to let things go…. This fall I am very happy to enjoy the winds of change and growth. I am inspired by the many beautiful people in my life who are connected in person and online and who continue to inspire me with the courage to change, grow, and evolve. I have been working on change, expansion, and service, and am happy to share what’s happening! |

HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH |
|
|
I recently had the pleasure of teaching at the Latina Empowered Health Summit at City Hall in LA. City Council President pro-tempore Nury Martinez (the beautiful woman in the red) and Alejandra Campoverdi of the Well Woman Coalition invited 125 Latina teenage girls to learn about health on many levels including physical, emotional, and spiritual. Big thanks to all of the beautiful girls for being so open and receptive to new ideas, as well as to all of the beautiful speakers who inspired me personally. What a joy to share yoga with the next generation and huge thanks to Manduka Yoga for providing mats for all of the girls!

SEVA/COMMUNITY SERVICE |
|
|
As many of you know, I work in a dual role for Manduka as both a Global Ambassador and the Director of Yoga Media. Our Manduka family is constantly inspiring me and most recently my sweet friend and coworker Michelle organized a coastal cleanup. My younger son Rocket attended the clean-up that was hosted by my pal Heidi Hong at Xanadu events. Rocket is still talking about all of the turtles that we helped by removing the trash from the shore. Community service is something that I encourage you to share with your coworkers and children and lead by example as you create the world that you want to live in.
