My complete ZenoWell Luna Plus review is now available. ✨

I’ve been using the original ZenoWell Luna, so in this video I’m able to compare the two generations and share what has changed.


I take you through the Luna Plus device, the different modes, the new app and the ZenoBand tracker. I also share my honest experience, including what I appreciated and what I found challenging.

I thought practising my own yoga videos for 30 days would help me revisit older teachings and become more comfortable speaking on camera.

It did those things, but the experience was much deeper and unexpected.

My body showed me what it needs. The spiritual dimension of yoga came alive again. Most meaningfully, your participation reminded me that yoga is relational. I was not sending these reflections into a void. We were creating meaning together within a larger web.

In my overall challenge reflection, I share what I want to reclaim, what I am allowing to end, and the fluid, varied practice I want to sustain.

Watch the reflection here: https://youtu.be/xaCMJRz6Wl0

Then I would love to hear from you: What did this challenge bring alive in you? What are you choosing to sustain, and what are you ready to allow to end?

Week 4 became a spiritual homecoming. ✨

I entered the final days of this challenge expecting to reach Day 30. Instead, qigong, mudras, the eight limbs of yoga, acceptance, breath, and Shiva’s story brought me back to the spiritual heart of yoga.

In this Week 4 recap, I reflect on what makes a yoga practice sustainable for the whole of our being, and why we do not always need to be growing. There is sacred value in sustaining a beautiful life.

Three weeks into practicing my own yoga classes, I found myself asking: why yoga?

My answer clarified the different roles somatics and yoga play in my life. It also showed me how much yoga is actually sustainable alongside lifting, walking, and the somatics my body needs.

This Week 3 recap became a reflection on what yoga gives me, why the shapes matter, and how I want practice to fit into my life now.

14 days in, and the 30-day challenge is teaching me more than I expected. 🕊️

This week, my body was telling me to slow down. It’s been a process re-taking my classes from 17 years ago while navigating migraines and fatigue.

I’ve realized there are some things I deeply miss from my early teaching... and some things (like chanting!) that I’m happy to leave in the past.


The Week 2 Recap is live now! Come join the conversation about how our practice evolves over time: https://youtu.be/LGt-vlf9BDY?si=Qvc4N...

Do you want to replace scrolling with a cozy hobby? 🧶

Over the past year, knitting changed everything for me.


What started as an attempt to learn something new became:
✨ something to do with my hands instead of my phone
✨ a way to relax during migraines and low-energy days
✨ a creative outlet instead of endless consumption
✨ connection with other knitters
✨ beautiful handmade sweaters, socks, and gifts

I would reach for my phone to doomscroll when I was tired. But I often left feeling worse.


In my newest video, I share how I accidentally replaced scrolling with knitting and all the unexpected ways it changed my life.


What hobbies do you do to help you break your phone addiction? I'd love to hear about it in the comments. 💙

I’ve realized something: Sleep prep doesn't start at 9 PM. It starts at 9 AM. ☀️ I’ve been on a 26-day streak using my Vagus Nerve stimulator twice a day, and the results for my 3 AM wake-ups have been a game-changer.
