October Playlist
Here’s the curated playlist for the month of October, with songs that will drop you into the eternal space, as well as honoring the earth and the ancestors. The thin October veil allows us to tap into these ancestral energies in deep and profound ways. Use this as a background for your yoga classes or to set the energy of your space. (It has been on repeat for me all day.)If you have strong psychic or mediumship abilities, it’s so important for you to connect with the earth this month. Let her hold and transmute the frequencies for you. <3

Therefore, I decided to step back from teaching virtual classes at Central Mass Yoga. It was a difficult decision considering I have been a part of the studio for more than 10 years, and teaching there regularly for six years. My intention was to cont...
