YOGA RETREATS: Croatia 🇭🇷 2026🌴 Senegal 🇸🇳 April 🏝️ Mallorca 2026 🇪🇸 Yoga & meditation teacher/Martial Arts Yoga Online, @equinox NYC.

There’s a Wolof proverb that’s been echoing in There’s a Wolof proverb that’s been echoing in my heart since returning to Brooklyn: Nit nitay garab am, “a person is another person’s tree.” 🌳

It means we find our solutions through people, through connection, through Sangha (community). 🌿

After the Croatia retreat (and a drive through Slovenia & Italy to the airport), I was so deep in reflection while journaling, processing, and being fully present that I completely missed my flight from Venice to Morocco and Senegal. ✈️😅 Then my phone, cracked from a run in the rain, went completely white with spots. Gone.

Yet somehow, through new Senegalese friends I met on the journey (and putting  my Wolof and French to good use), I found my way to the breathtaking @souimangalodge 🌺 I spent days offline — no photos, no maps or calls, just being fully present in the moment, like a Time Machine to my 20s!

When I got back to Dakar, a friend of a friend of a friend fixed my phone, right in front of me, piece by piece. 😅 There were so many other stories of being part of offering help and receiving help from others every day✨

That’s Nit nitay garab am, people helping people. Trees as a source of all that we seek.

This month’s theme in class is Santosha - gratitude and contentment, and Sangha - sacred community. A reminder that even when things fall apart, we are always being held by one another. 🕊️

As I return home, I’m remembering how valuable it is and feeling deeply grateful for the many webs of connection that keep expanding in everyday life and especially on Retreats — from Brooklyn to Senegal, Croatia, Mallorca, and the Catskills.

I ask my children this every day and I will pose the same to you: how are you helping others today and how have others helped you? When we take part in the cycle of supporting others not only do we experience and receive gratitude, we are taking to create a sustainable community to all learn and grow together. 🌿

There’s a moment at the end of every retreat whe There’s a moment at the end of every retreat when the noise of life fades, and all that’s left is gratitude. 🌿

As we shared our final delicious breakfast, fresh juices and fruits, chia puddings, garden-picked salads, warm homemade bread, and hot drinks , our group reflected on the deep gratitude we felt for this week in Croatia.

There were moments of rain outside, and moments of turning inward, facing the darker spaces we often bury beneath our busy, always-on lives. Yet, as the sun broke through, so did we, uncovering our radiant light and sharing it generously, with deep gratitude. ☀️

On my drive through Istria in Croatia and Slovenia back to Venice to catch my flight. I listened to the latest @hubermanlab episode and it couldn’t be more fitting! It’s all about gratitude, and how witnessing others’ gratitude can literally change your brain. 🧠✨

That’s the magic of a retreat: you don’t just practice gratitude — you live it. Through yoga, breath, journaling, reflection, and connection. You feel those channels of gratitude open within yourself… and see them mirrored in others as your heart expands even more.

This week in Istria, Croatia at @meneghettiwinehotel was pure magic — a divine blend of presence, transformation, and connection. ✨
I’m beyond thrilled to return next fall, September 2026, for another soul-nourishing journey of yoga, meditation, breathwork, and gratitude. 💫

If your heart is calling for deeper connection and expansion, this retreat is for you. 

Space will be limited — reach out now to reserve your place.

✨Honored. Grateful. Excited.✨ I am beyond thr ✨Honored. Grateful. Excited.✨

I am beyond thrilled to share that I’ll be part of the Prema Yoga Teacher Training Program beginning this February. 🌿

To be included in this incredible faculty and community put together by the amazing @amandharding is such a gift. Prema has always been a home for deep practice, soulful connection, authentic and experienced teaching, and I can’t wait to support the next generation of teachers as they explore the journey of diving deeply into yoga, meditation, philosophy, breathing, Ayurveda and themselves.

If you’ve been feeling the call to deepen your practice, expand your knowledge, connect with yourself and like-minded people and immerse yourself in the many limbs that make up yoga, this training is a truly transformative path.

Peace, gratitude & love ☮️🙏🏼💜

✨ Faith. Focus. Surrender. ✨ This September, ✨ Faith. Focus. Surrender. ✨

This September, I’ve been reflecting on three guiding principles from yoga and Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist:

🌿 Śraddhā (faith): trusting your path has meaning.
🌿 Dhāraṇā (concentration): focusing your energy where it matters most.
🌿 Īśvarapraṇidhāna (surrender): handing it all over to something greater — God, nature, humanity, or the universe.

I felt these truths deeply on an amazing and beautiful recent journey to Mallorca where I taught and shared yoga, breathing, life guidance, support and more at a family friend’s wedding. I also had the chance to live life in full color flowing on a paddleboard and swimming and boating into coves, journaling under the Mediterranean sky, explore the breathtaking island looking for the perfect place for a retreat (found it!), and even sharing dinner with an amazing Olympic bobsledder who reminded me of the resilience we all carry (and invited me to see her compete one day : ).

What struck me most? That surrender is not just letting go… it’s also opening up our channels of energy to let in. Opening to connection, grace, and the signs of the universe guiding us forward.

💫 Coelho calls them omens.
The question is: are we listening?

✨Reflection for You
