Dharma is the Buddhist term for life’s work. I’ve spent last week studying and practicing yoga therapy for Life’s Work Yoga and Namaste Studios at Won Dharma Retreat Center, in Claverack, NY. WOW! What a privilege to do this work, my Life’s Work in a place dedicated to supporting dharma. I’m so honored to share… Read More
It’s been said that “You are as young as your spine is supple.” Easy to say, and yet maybe difficult to know what it means, especially given our unique personal stories and the realities of living in real live bodies. How supple or fluid is your spine? Back pain and its related discomfort has been… Read More
I’m having a bit of writer’s block… normally I find it easy to sit down and write out a few paragraphs about something that’s captured my attention in the recent days. I think my attention is tired. I’m tired of snow, I’m done with freezing temperatures, and I am ready for some genuine SPRING! I… Read More
Are you a rescuer or a rescuee? Is there a difference? I’ve never been one to play the princess needing to be rescued, but I do love the feeling of receiving love, encouragement and attention! (who doesn’t!?!) I always felt like the best kind of rescuer was one who was also rescued in return. I… Read More
These past few weeks, I’ve been leading an Inspired Living Coaching series with some of the most awesome individuals I’ve ever met. Some of you already know this because you are participating as one of these amazing humans. 😊 I love leading these kinds of workshops as they facilitate growth in such powerful, unexpected and… Read More
Nine months is how long it took for me to gestate each of my three kids (actually Seiji actually opted for the 10-month plan, without approval, mind you!). Nine months is the time it took for me to craft, write, research, defend and publish my Doctoral Dissertation. Nine months is the length of many Yoga… Read More
I found an old friend in my book of poems this past week. Maybe you heard me share it in class. Ordinary Life by Karolyn Kinane “My ordinary life will sometimes tell Me that I need to rush through dinner, or Fill empty space with words to numb my mind With movies, facebook, junk food,… Read More
I’m practicing rest. I’m practicing rest because I found a connection between rest for my body and my ability to trust… to trust myself, others, even the universe. When my body feels rested, my mind eases, my heart softens and my breath deepens. All of these things are good, just in themselves, but that, together,… Read More
There’s a new buzz with the hope of the New Year. Do you feel it? Maybe it’s just a ringing in my head from the political news stories… Maybe it’s the excitement of a new blank planner (am I the ONLY ONE who loves business supplies?), the thrill of new yoga gear from holiday gifts,… Read More
New Year, graduation celebrations, Mondays, and even daily attitude adjustments are ways of resetting and allowing ourselves to #beginagain. I begin again a lot! When we create an intentional pause, like these examples, we have an opportunity to define a moment and redefine our intentions around that moment. Hence, commencements are a beginning more than… Read More
How do you prepare for the year? Are you a resolution setter? A Vision Board builder? A dreamer, a planner, or a fly-by-the seat-of-your-pants-er? Or are you a nay-sayer when it comes to set intentions and aspirations for your “Bucket List”? I’d love to hear how you plan to show up in 2019! I’ve tried… Read More
Happy Holidays. I hope you are finding time to cultivate self-care and connection with those you most love this Holiday Season. In all transparency, I am resuming my own self-care practices after a bit of a lapse. Between the challenges of the “shorter” days, a new studio, and a house full of teenagers, it seems… Read More
A one-stop shop for mind, body and soul care. Kimberlyn knows how to help you work through self-doubt, or challenge your body all with compassion, grace and understanding. She is very encouraging to dig a little deeper to help you meet your life goals.
Thank you for an absolutely fantastic class today. I don’t have the vocabulary to express how it made me feel but it was one of those classes that reminds you why you do yoga. You are an amazing teacher and a facilitator of personal growth in others. Thank you again.
Kimberlyn, I love the way you teach. I can close my eyes, and you are able to make us aware of every little movement that needs to happen. My body always responded to the sound of your voice. You have a real knack, especially for beginners and those with limited abilities.
Kimberlyn has guided me in learning so much about myself. She has helped me recognize my own strength, truth, and acceptance. I have enjoyed the Women’s Circle she leads where I have learned many life skills and made life-long friendships. Thank you, Kimberlyn!
Great space with great instructors! I love the small class size and being able to stretch out! Kimberlyn is an amazing instructor and I love the pace and energy of her classes!
I always think I am alone in my feelings and experiences, but everyone out there is holding on to crap or trying to move through it, everyone wants an authentic life that expresses their purpose. It helps to take the journey with the support of others. I lay open my heart and invite you to see all of me. I want to experience you in return, to share with you as you move toward joy!
Kimberlyn has true gifts. She intuitively seems to know what my body needs. I cannot say enough good things about her care and her professionalism. How fortunate I am to have Kimberlyn in my life.
I loved the vision board workshop… Kimberlyn creates a welcoming and nurturing space to relax and recharge your body and mind!
Life’s Work Yoga is a STELLAR practice regardless of your ability or interest in yoga from no experience to guru. Recently, I have enjoyed having their team of instructors come to Hood College to donate much-needed yoga breaks for our whole community (students, faculty & staff). Their approach and philosophy aligns well with mine, and I love their “gentle yoga” sessions on campus that engage any skill level. A great local business to visit for some self-care!
Fantastic, I LOVE it.Kimberlyn was so nice and she made me feel secure and welcomed. This is my first time trying Yoga and it was an amazing experience ️
Kimberlyn’s coaching help has helped me in ways I didn’t realize it would. It’s organically turned into much more than what I originally thought I needed/wanted. Thank you!
Lifesworks yoga is my favorite studio in Frederick. Classes with Kimberlyn and Ashley are my me time if you are looking for a relaxing low pressure yoga studio definitely give Lifeworks a try.
