To me, the greatest pleasure of writing
is not what it's about,
but the inner music the words make.

As I planned this retreat I must admit I anticipated Cuba to be a one time adventure.  I was in no way prepared to fall madly in love with the island.  The opportunity had somewhat fallen into my lap last August as a friend who...

For the last seven years the end of summer and subsequent falling leaves meant that I re-opened the door to my Clean Studio Yoga Studio and welcomed yogis into my home studio to practice for the school year. I embraced the rituals of fall including transitioning kids back...
