When I think of true elders, one word rises up: Serenity.

​
Not the absence of emotion, but the wisdom to pause. To regroup. To respond with restraint instead of reaction. That kind of presence isn’t born overnight — it’s forged through experience, risk, and trust in the unknown.

The Leap

In July, I gave myself permission to pause.
To release this newsletter, the weekly videos, and the online classroom. It was less a course correction than a leap into the abyss — a freefall with no plan, no clear vision, only the knowing that what had sustained me for the last five years was no longer the right shape for what comes next.

And in that space, something remarkable began to stir.

For decades, my work ethic was my compass.
As an entrepreneur, I built a life on consistency and drive — following through on every commitment while carrying a grand vision only I could see. Patience had no place in the equation; only action guaranteed success.

August: A Whirlwind of Creation

​

Soon after, I moved with Hanif Wondir — a multidisciplinary artist, musician, and longtime collaborator — from our tiny 450 sq ft Sand City studio into a much larger space closer to home. Separate offices. Room to breathe. A floor below us reserved for collaborative projects whose outlines were still unknown but already alive in possibility.

​

Within weeks, three collections were born.

​

• A playful line for my niece.
• A Burning Man commission: a men’s capsule collection inspired by elephants, designed to endure the extremes of the Playa while carrying anatomical precision and couture detail.

​

• And the most audacious of all: Red Deluge — a six-minute collaborative performance crafted from feminine hygiene products, soundtracked by Hanif, and staged at the Henry Miller Library during the Big Sur Fashion Show.

This work demanded everything. The reward was more than we could have imagined. (We’re still waiting on professional footage — a reminder to always self-document — but you can glimpse a grainy photo album here.)

September: The Deep Breath

After the whirlwind came stillness.
Time to look inward, to meet the version of myself who had emerged.

Teaching movement remains my foundation — private clients online and in person, immersive retreats, deep dives into proprioception and embodied anatomy. But alongside it, the artistic self is unfolding again.

This December, Hanif and I will present an interactive installation at the Monterey Museum of Art for their Illuminado event. And January hints at another multi-disciplinary show under my direction — an evolution still taking shape.

In Conversation

​

Amidst this breath, I sat down with Angela Tait for Mom-Me to talk about movement, breath, and motherhood — and why every mom deserves to redefine what “having it all” really means.

If you’ve ever wanted to hear the story of how pregnancy reshaped my teaching and my life, this is where I tell it.

I don’t yet know the full shape of what’s to come.
But I know this: we become who we are through creation. And surrendering to that process — whether in the studio, on the mat, or on the stage — is the most powerful transformation of all.
