Life handed me an unexpected lesson in my own medicine this week. After yoga class, I fell riding home and broke and twisted my pinky finger. I'm now in a fairly dramatic hand brace, and I've got a specialist visit next week — fingers crossed (the ones that still bend) that we can avoid a full cast. So here's the irony I'm sitting with: I teach rest and restoration for a living, and now my body is asking me to actually practice it. I'm leaning on Yoga Nidra to help my nervous system settle, support the healing, and keep me company through the discomfort. It's humbling and kind of beautiful to be on the receiving end of the work. A practical note: Tidal Hearts Yoga Nidra won't release tonight as planned. The fall caused some technical difficulties on my end, so I'm giving it the time it needs to come out right. Thank you for your patience. If you've got a prayer or a good thought to spare, I'll happily take it. 🙏

I want to celebrate a moment that happens in this community all the time... and deserves to be seen. One of our members shared this recently, and I keep coming back to it: "I wasn't expecting to walk away with a community. I think it surprised me that I found a community, not just a class." That's you, by the way. You are who she found. Every time you show up in the comments, every breakout session you lean into (during our Live Sessions/Next one: June 11), every honest share... you are the reason this community is what it is. So on this Saturday — thank you for being here. For being open. For being real. What's one thing you're carrying into this weekend that this community has given you?

I have just been invited as a guest for a soon-to-be-released podcast (Legendary Community Podcast)! BUT I need your help because this is about YOU all and your experiences too! This is a new podcast launching in the coming weeks. So I would LOVE to know! What do you LOVE about being in the Nova Nidra Community!? What can I share with the host that you all enjoy so much about this space!? Speak for me here! Take the Mic for me!

Something special just dropped for our VIP community. 🌕 The Rooted One | a brand new Yoga Nidra is live, and it was made with so much intention. Here's a little peek into what went into this one: 🌿 Lavender burning from Peru 🌊 Sounds recorded from a river that has genuinely stopped me in my tracks every time I walked past it 🌕 Woven with the energy of the Waxing Gibbous Moon... the phase of refinement, patience, and strengthening your foundation The Rooted One | Nova Nidra | Available Here This practice is an invitation to come back to the body. Every time you press play, you're choosing to return to your nature. Your groundedness. Yourself. Not everything needs to accelerate. Some things need to mature. This one is for the ones ready to steep into rest. 🍃

We talk a lot about doing. Building. Showing up. I want to talk about the other thing today. Because one of our members said something recently that I keep coming back to: "I needed some help from me. I knew I had the capability to get it... but I needed help finding that peace, that soft spot." — Peace in Rest Member That soft spot. I love that phrase. So many of us have forgotten we even have one.
