New Partner Yoga Class at Yoga North

Thai Partner Yoga
In response to the interest and energy around our Thai Restoration Class, we bring you a weekly dose. We will work in twosomes and groups to create new poses and extensions of poses.
We will learn to use gravity, leverage and partner traction to move more deeply into foundational Yoga postures. Postures are done together working with balance, support, trust, alignment, strength and flexibility. We will also learn together restorative partner poses and stress relieving techniques from Thai Bodywork.
You are invited to come alone, with a partner, friend or family member.


Tuesdays, 4:30 - 5:30
www.yoganorthduluth.com for more information.


Class starts Tuesday September 13th.

As seen here....sailing on Lake Superior.

Whats Next

I am heading out to Boulder this fall to do a

Partner Yoga Teacher Training.

I am so excited to add this to the mix of my work!

It is beautiful work.

Birthday Yoga Party

Well, I have proudly turned 45.  I had a party on Park Point at the Lafayette Club for my birthday.  What a great thing!  We yoga-ed with Wendy as our lovely teacher and then we ate and had some wine, with Gregg as our lovely chef.

Workshop in International Falls

Last weekend I taught a Thai Bodywork for Partners Class in International Falls at Replenish Yoga Studio, run by Christa Heibel. It was lovely! We had nine people and I was hosted at a lovely cabin on Rainy Lake. Thank you Christa for the hospitality! It was a lovely weekend.

New at Muggymoose

Recently I have started offering Partners Thai Bodywork Privates at my studio. In a private class, I work with two people, teaching them how to exchange some laypersons work on one another. The prices run the same as they would for a private one on one session. The sessions I have taught so far have been lovely.

Thai Restorative Class, Yoga North

Once a month, I teach a Restorative Yoga Class at Yoga North during which I move through the class, doing Thai adjustments on people. The class is usually full and people really seem to enjoy it. There are two more left this spring, April 7 and May 5. Come join us!

Thai Herbal Therapies

Chopping up fresh ginger to add to Thai Herbal Compresses full of wonderful healing herbs for the body. Ahhh!!! Compresses coming to the mix soon!

Even Kids Can Do Thai Bodywork!

Camp Amnicon Final Weekend

Final weekend of Yoga North Teacher Training! What a journey.

Yoga Training 200 Hour

Final Yoga Teacher Training Weekend at Camp Amnicon in Wisconsin. I am not sure what I will do without all of these wonderful women to serve as my guides!!!

Updated Trainings

Recently I have been doing a lot of additional training. I just finished my RTT training ( registered Thai Therapist ), a
Thai Herbal Compress training (see us smashing fresh ginger, lemongrass and eucalyptus) and I am about to finish my Teacher Training 200hour to be a certified Yoga Instructor. Sweet!
PS...I am secretly proud that I have been doing daily ten minute headstands and I am also secretly proud that I have been rock climbing again!!!

Buddhism in Korea

After that we visited a Buddhist Temple, the biggest one in Seoul. It was really amazing. We went inside and there were three giant gold buddha statues and many people paying their respects. In addition there were three other small temples which you could go into. In one, there was a man holding a ceremony, very cool. There was also a shrine outside with incense and candles; I left an offering there to the buddha. For me, this was one of the more religious places I have been. It felt very spiritual and emotional for me. So glad to see it; can't wait to see more!

Eating in Korea

And next...the eating agenda. First we went to the seafood market...oh my so many kinds of fish you can hardly believe it. More photos to follow of that. Oh, and we ate some fish too. After that, we went to a tiny Korean Restaurant in Insadong and ate octupus and all of the other yummies that you see on the table.

Finally in Korea meeting the babe!!

And so...the day begins! We start the day with the most exciting part. We met Tae. We met with a social worker and his foster family, Mrs. Lee and Mr. Khan for about an hour and a half! Tae is pretty mellow and we asked lots of questions. We both held him and he played on the floor a bit with a few toys. Foster mom told us about all of the things that he liked and didn't like ( one of which is white cats). Hmm...Syd will have to take it easy on him. Foster dad gave us this absolutely enormous picture of him that is similar to a window shade I think. They are so amazingly nice and sweet, I felt so badly that we didn't have our present ready for them because it is still lost on a plane somewhere! After that, foster mom put Tae in the pack and then asked for me to carry him for a bit. We went to a meeting together with Tae and I carried Tae around on the back ( ah boo bah ). Shortly after that, we parted ways and we said goodbye to little Jeong Tae until tommorow. Tommorow we will meet with Dr. Kim at 11:30 and then have lunch with her. After that, we will meet with Mrs. Lee, Mr. Khan and Jeong Tae again. The next day is Christmas!....and they have invited us to go to their church with them! They are even picking us up in town and taking us out there! Mr. Khan works at the church; it is so nice of them. Here are some photos of us and Jeong Tae. Hansi always has the camera meaning that we don't have any of Hansi with Jeong Tae!!! We will tommorow though, I promise. Love to you all!!
