I hit the trail to find some freedom within the stresses of everyday life. I’m a writer, so as those everyday struggles begin to shake out of me, they come out as words. As a student of yoga, my own words mix with the words of ancient yoga philosophy. And a Trail Talk is born!

Each week, I weave a Trail Talk into the yoga classes that I teach. I know there are yogis on their mats who, like me, are there to loosen up some space for body AND mind. Read a Trail Talk, and join us in finding a little bit of freedom!
