Aw, yeah! Take time to unwind and enjoy the fall- come connect with your higher self and be with your introspective nature. Treat yourself to this event that combines all the best things in life - yoga, hiking in the fall woods, soaking in a hot tub, and eating! We start in the woods of Barnard, where we’ll do yoga with trees, rocks, and logs on the season’s final Yoga Hike. Be present for the end of foliage and get incredible views of Mt. Ascutney - and know that there will be no interruptions, as we’ll be on our private land.

Afterward, the pampering begins! We’ll soak outdoors in our freshwater salt hot tub that feels so good in the crisp fall air. Relax and connect with your fellow retreatants. When we’re finished soaking, we’ll dine on a delicious gourmet vegetarian lunch, made with locally-grown ingredients with the intention of nourishing you, body and soul.

Space is limited, so sign up now! The full event is $108 and space is limited. If you prefer to hike without the soak and lunch, that is an option also. Looking forward to retreating with you!

Enjoy the peace of the woods this Columbus weekend on this special, brand-new hike! We’ll get away from the crowds by starting our event on private land which has a terrific view of Cardigan Mountain and the Presidentials. We then explore some of Norwich’s well-maintained trails that meander along the Charles Brown Brook, a magical path of mosses, foot bridges, and stream crossings. We’ll do yoga stops along the way, with inspirational quotes and meditations. Our final relaxation will be back on private land, where you can deeply rest, undisturbed, on an open-air stage outside an artists’ barn. Vermont culture and wilderness at its finest!

The fee for this two-hour event is $35. Join us by clicking below to register. You’ll then get directions to the trailhead a few days before the event. Don’t miss this chance to enjoy foliage in a mindful, deeply meaningful way!

Time was changed from initial morning time to miss predicted morning showers. See you in the afternoon when we should be high and dry!

Want to try massage without a long commitment? Come see me on the Woodstock Green at their farmer’s Market on the Green, where I’ve got a tent with my mat down so I can work on folks - for only $2/minute! I’ve got my mat warmer and blankets, too.

Come get your veggies, hear some live music, try some flatbread, and work out the kinks. Or just stop over and say hi!

Clear your mind and explore the sacred land at Mission Farm, just south of Killington. For this invigorating hike, we’ll be hiking uphill on the trails behind the picturesque church, experiencing the beauty of pine groves, babbling brooks, mossy deciduous forests, and views of nearby Killington Mountain during foliage season. Along the way, we’ll be doing accessible yoga poses, breath work, and meditation. I’ll be reading inspiring quotations and inviting reflection on the connection between nature and the soul. If you love the woods and want to explore it in a new way, this event is for you!

No yoga experience necessary, but since we’ll be hiking up a 500’ rise, a basic level of hiking fitness is required. Registered participants will get an email a few days beforehand with detailed information with directions and what to wear/bring. To register, click the link below. Event fee is $35, and a portion of the proceeds from this event will go to support Mission Farm, which is a local nonprofit dedicated to love and the land by understanding the interconnection of all things and the value of biodiversity.

Yes! It’s the first Yoga Hike of the season! Time to experience the joy of stretching in the woods! I’ll be leading this hike through our beautiful private woods here in Barnard, Vermont - the perfect setting for you to connect deeply with nature and yourself. We’ll move mindfully through the forest, using features of the woods such as logs and sticks to help us go deep with our stretches. This trail includes a fantastic lookout point as well as a yoga session by a serene pond. We’ll finish the event with an optional hot-tub soak for those who want to retreat even longer.

Give yourself the gift of love! The topic of love will gently guide our day, starting with a discussion while soaking in an outdoor freshwater salt hot tub. There, we’ll ponder how to bring more love into our lives and how to enjoy the love we already have. After our soak, which will bring us into a relaxed state with softened muscles, we will come into a multi-level yoga practice for the soul. We'll then do some self face-massage before entering a relaxation meditation. After our relaxation, we will continue the conversation on love as we share a gourmet vegetarian lunch.

Take the getaway you’re craving - and be renewed in only a few hours! For all this love plus lunch, it’s $90, payable by using the link below. Space is quite limited, so sign up as soon. I would love for you to join us!

Shine through these dark days by tending the flame of Self. Prepare for the holidays by decorating your soul with self-love! Both of these seminars will include Kundalini Yoga, known as the yoga of awareness, as well as discussion, journaling, and a relaxation meditation that involves the art of self-face massage.

In Seminar #1, we’ll be focused on understanding. What gets in the way of us loving ourselves unconditionally? How can we accept ourselves and our faults? How can we love ourselves more? To this end, we’ll start with a tea-time discussion (featuring Miss Amanda’s famous homemade chai) followed by journaling and a set of hip-opening yoga poses. We’ll finish with a free-form dance session to help us enjoy the freedom in moving beyond our perceived limits.

This seminar will be held in the beautiful Strong House Spa movement space with its high ceilings and many windows. And, to incorporate some pre-yoga shopping therapy, start your self-love event with a visit to local apothecary Z Botanicals’ Holiday Pop-Up just down the road in Hartland from 12-5. Treat yourself to locally-crafted pottery, herbal products, and jewelry - and get some of your holiday shopping done early while supporting local artists and healers while supporting yourself. (Just be sure to get down to the Strong House in time for our session at 3!)

Register for the seminar by clicking below to pay the $45 fee, and you’ll get an email a few days before the event with more information. Thank you in advance for investing in yourself and joining the Self-Love Movement!

Our summer Yoga Walk at VINS was so fun, we’re doing it again, this time in the splendor of New England in the fall! This special event will take place before VINS opens to the public, so you get a sneak peek at the birds, the grounds, and the foliage before the tourists file in. If you’ve never done “bird yoga,” this is your big change - YES, we do yoga with the raptors!

To sign up and get more information, please visit the VINS website by clicking below.

To celebrate fall, we’re pairing a Yoga Hike, where we move mindfully through the woods, stopping to stretch and breathe deep in the crisp fall air, with a hot-tub soak at the end! Take relaxation to the next level!

This hike will take place in our private woods in Barnard, which has a gorgeous view of Mt. Ascutney, as well as lots of logs, trees, and rock walls to play on in solitude. We’ll have the woods to ourselves—no leaf peepers here! I will be sharing inspirational quotations to help make this a truly uplifting event. Afterwards, treat yourself to a soak in our freshwater salt hot tub with all the jets you need to soothe your muscles. Event is $25 for the two-hour moving yoga class and an additional $20 to soak for up to an hour if you like. To join us, click below. You will receive directions to the site after you sign up.

Experience the VINS Nature Center through the lens of yoga. During this meditative event, participants will stroll mindfully through the grounds, pausing to do simple yoga poses in the woods, by the water, and on the Forest Canopy Walk. Most of this workshop will be spent in silence. Enjoy being quiet and present among the sounds of morning birds as you experience the Nature Center before the grounds are open to the public. I’ll weave in yogic mythology as well as mindfulness techniques and accessible yoga poses throughout this event, and this workshop will culminate with an unforgettable Forest Canopy relaxation.

All levels of yoga experience are welcome. Wear clothes to stretch in, shoes for walking, and bring a mat, blanket, or towel to carry along for the final relaxation.  Rain date will be the following Sunday, 7/24.  Space is limited, so register now by going to the link below.

Want to do something special to welcome summer? Join us bright and early for a special, one-time pondside yoga session where a dream team of local yoga teachers will lead you in 108 sun salutations followed by a sweet relaxation. You are welcome to join late, leave early, and rest when you need to.

Contribute your energy to a group experience you will not forget! This event is by donation, but do bring your yoga mat and any props you need to be comfortable. You may also bring a swimsuit and towel for a post-yoga pond swim!

Join us for Randolph’s premier " First Friday" event! There will be many fun events going on. At True Center Yoga, we’ll gather for a lighthearted yoga flow set to a fun reggae soundtrack.

Time to celebrate! Let's gather together and dance under the full moon, which will happen during the Spring Equinox weekend! I’m teaming up with Deonne Myrick to interweave various yoga practices and dance in this lighthearted workshop. We'll also be doing an inspirational ritual to mark the fact that we've made it through the winter and are now ready to embrace the springtime within ourselves. The full moon is the perfect time to let things go, especially the energy that may be holding you back. And dancing is the perfect way to release the old, invite in new and positive energy and open yourself up to all of the wonderful things the universe has in store for you!

All levels welcome to this event designed to make you feel jubilant! Afterward, we'll offer some light refreshments so you can socialize with your yoga community. Space is limited to provide social distancing, or you may also join us over Zoom. Reserve your spot now by clicking here to join in-person or online. We can't wait to dance with you and raise our collective energy!

Yoga Nidra - psychic sleep - is my GO-TO meditation for falling back asleep in the middle of the night. It works wonders! But this magic meditation is primarily used to help you stick to your intention by seeding it in your subconscious. Learn how to hypnotize yourself during this "Self-Care Saturday" workshop over Zoom. We’ll start with some wake-up movements, discuss crafting an intention, and then do the guided meditation LYING DOWN. The workshop fee of $24 includes a recording of the meditation portion of the Zoom call as well as 2 bonus voice files.

**Included in the New Year's Yoga Challenge package. If you aren’t joining for that, you can sign up for this event on its own by clicking below.

Take a break from your holiday preparations to honor yourself and your innate goodness. In this uplifting workshop, we will use the magical practices of Kundalini Yoga to reconnect with and strengthen our inner radiance - the quality of us that is irresistibly bright and attractive to others. We’ll use these practices to face the darkest days of the year with courage and excitement, as we remember that our own light is all we really need.

In addition to breath, movement, and mantra practice, we will have relaxation periods while I read from “The Radiance Sutras,” ancient instructions from India for us all to become mystics and embrace our inner divinity. Join us and receive inspiration so that you can soar through the holidays and beyond!

We’ve heard it a zillion times - “just let it go” - but how do we really, truly release what doesn’t serve us? Come find out….

In this playful workshop, we’ll get into our bodies and connect with our own personal energy field through Kundalini yoga practices of breath, chant, and movement. In this state of heightened awareness, we’ll explore basic but profound energy-management practices, and you will:

• Experience earth and cosmic energy

• Learn to own your energy

• Ground your energy

• Release pain energy

• Be in tranquil neutral space

With these simple and powerful tools, anyone—even you!—can let go of the past, live joyfully in the moment, and be your best self! No yoga experience necessary, just an open mind and a willingness to be present. Register by clicking below. Scholarship funds are available, so please email me here to inquire about that option.

Experience a unique mix of movement, breath work, and chanting that will enliven your entire being! This class is geared towards newcomers to the practice of Kundalini Yoga, the Yoga of Awareness. Unlike many yoga styles, we focus more on energy awareness than on accomplishing a specific pose. Instead, we use accessible, dynamic movement and different types of breathing methods to develop our attention to the energies of our bodies. Some short chants will be introduced to help practitioners see the overall context of this work--to explore the true nature of the soul. To heighten the sense of bliss, we’ll close the class with a relaxation meditation that will include a brief massage. Join us for the bliss and mild euphoria from this life-changing practice!

To register, visit ArtisTree’s website below. Because this class is indoors, all unvaccinated participants will need to wear a mask during the class. I will also be masked while I give massages.
