Into the Fall


The change of seasons is rapidly upon us. Fall is a time of quiet introspection, of going deeply within to listen to the inner urges of spirit. There's a part of me that wants to cling to the summer, the warmth, the long days of sunlight, yet there is equally a part of me that looks forward to the relaxing and quiet aspects of winter. I find myself quite busy and sometimes scattered during the summer due to the length of days and the ample opportunities to ride my horses late into the evening.My internal clock is setting itself to go to bed with the close of the day.

I relish the earlier sunsets and the beautiful predawn starlight skies. Venus shines down upon me in the early morning as I do my yoga practice out on the deck.

The hostel has been busier than ever these last few weeks. I've had so many beautiful faces of love grace my life and doorstep in the guise of awesome guest. Each woman shares such a lovely story of life and spirit. I've made some wonderful friends this season and am so blessed to offer my home in this way. I look forward to meeting more new friends and sharing our stories.

Asheville has some of the best yoga workshops offered anywhere in the country! This upcoming weekend our Anusara kula is hosting Desiree Rumbaugh, a senior Anusara instructor. One NOT to be missed. Also this weekend at the Asheville Yoga Center Scott Blossom is doing a workshop on Yoga and Ayurvedic medicine. I hear many wonderful reviews about Scott and hope to study with him in the future.
