Summer is just around the corner, and with it comes a season of change and activity. For busy moms, the shift from school routines to summer fun can be a bit overwhelming. But there's a practice that can help ease this transition—yoga sun salutations. In fact, sun salutes are commonly done to celebrate summer solstice, the longest day of the year, which falls on Thursday, June 20th this year. You can find many yogis, including myself, doing 108 sun salutations on this day with the intention of stoking the inner fire and celebrating the powerful energy of the sun.

I firmly believe that women can be more than one thing. We can be present and loving moms while pursuing our dreams and finding joy in our endeavors. Moms don't have to give up who they are; they can embrace their many identities and thrive. My journey is a testament to this belief, and I'm committed to helping others find their own paths to well-being and fulfillment.

Yoga classes can be great, and I still love attending them myself, but working with a yoga therapist who viewed me as a whole person - mind, body, and spirit - gifted me with tools to live a daily life of centered womanhood and I aim to pass on these gifts to others.
