The warmth and golden colors of fall, harvesting all that’s sweet from the summer, & infusing steadiness and structure into the end of our year. As the days shorten, are you ready to hibernate or are you ready to hang? Humans are funny in that we want to do both.

Liz sits low in a Goddess Pose squat, her legs wide, knees bent, elbows bent as she lifts her hands and gaze. Her feet are in dirt warmed by sunshine. All around her is an abundance of green bushes, trees, and grasses.

When do you feel powerful? When do you not? When do you rely on strength? When is vulnerability powerful?
In Yoga we walk the line between flexibility and strength. The question is: What is needed when?
In Meditation, what is Powerful?

Photography by the incredible Stephanie Trapp

On a golden background, a ring of pale gold spikes hovers over showy summer flowers in a field of purples, reds, and orange. Dappled light covers the scene invoking the warmth of summer.

July Art & Themes:
Sun, heat, growth - When are you in power, feel powerful, & when do you not?
Summer flowers:
- Purple Clematis - elegance, transformation, harmony in relationships
- Red Poppies - remembrance, hope, resilience, grief, solace
- Orange Cosmos - peace, balance, order, innocence

YouTube video by sparkle.vision Theme for My June 2025 Offerings: What does community mean for you?

Coming back from #AIDSLifeCycle 2025, so tired (if you can’t tell from the first minute of this video) but my heart is so full! Being apart of this event inspired a reconsideration of what #community means to me. I’d love to hear what it means to you!

My mom took a great photo of spring flowers emerging & it was exactly the image that was in my mind when thinking about themes for teaching this month. So I combined the bright yellow Colorado flowers with the snowy mountains of Idaho as I head back to California to represent my classes this month!
