That's not okay with me

I need to be honest with you about something.

For the past few weeks, I've been having trouble with my email service provider. The kind of trouble that meant some of you weren't getting my messages. The kind that kept me up at night wondering if you thought I'd disappeared or stopped caring about helping you build a consistent wellness practice.

That's not okay with me.

Over the past 20+ years of teaching yoga and Pilates, I've learned that consistency is everything. It's the foundation of every transformation.

Here's the thing about consistency: it works both ways. I can't ask you to show up consistently if I can't reliably show up in your inbox.

So I’m making a change and moving to Substack. I’m more excited about this than I've been about anything in a long time.

This isn't just about fixing email delivery issues (though yes, you'll actually receive what I send now). This is about finally building the kind of community I've always envisioned. The one where we can have real conversations, where you get direct access to me and to top experts in health, fitness, and nutrition, and where I can share the tools and strategies that actually work.

Not the surface-level stuff you can find anywhere. The real, practical strategies I've developed working with hundreds of busy professional women who are tired of starting and stopping, who want to lose weight and keep it off, who are ready to build habits that stick.

What does this mean for you?

If you've been following along on my blog, nothing has to change if you don't want it to. This space will still be here with all the content you've come to rely on.

But if you want more, I’m inviting you to join me on Substack.

You'll get to keep in touch through weekly newsletters; community discussions; exclusive conversations with top experts in health, fitness, and nutrition; video tutorials and downloadable resources.

You know what I realized when I was having all those email troubles?

All these years, I've been teaching you about modifications to adapt poses to work for your body, your limitations, your unique anatomy. About how there's no shame in using props or taking a different variation. About how the practice that serves you today might be different from the one you need tomorrow.

Well, this is my modification. This is me adapting to serve you better.

The pop-up studio chapter was incredible. Welcoming over 100 people into that space in the BullStreet District, watching you challenge yourselves in partner yoga classes, hearing someone shout "that's amazing!" in the middle of a Deep Release class are memories will stay with me forever.

Now we're entering a new chapter, and I’d love for you to join me.

You should receive a note from Substack soon confirming your free subscription. When you do, make sure to confirm it so you don't miss anything.

If you don't see it in the next few days, you can find me at Substack and subscribe there.
