Fall is always a reminder of change + transformation, of seasonal shifts, letting go, and preparing for what is to come...

This fall, I am feeling more grounded and steady than year's past - comfortable with where I am and what I have created for this season of life. That being said, I am excited to bring back more of my yoga practice and teachings in a big way in 2023. Join me and Brittany of B Still Yoga for a transformative yoga teacher training to connect, grow, transform, and inspire.

Interested in deepening your practice and sharing your love of yoga with others? Reach out myself or Brittany to learn more!

Hello there beautiful souls!

Things have been pretty quiet around here on my wellness page....

If you haven't followed along, my energy has been focused on my first steps into mamahood with baby Edison (who is already 10 months old!) and the growth of Roots and Wings Forest School.

So what about my wellness business? I'm still here, with lots of ideas for the future (of course), but for now I'm taking things slow and honoring that what I need in this season of life is "less".

With that, I am feeling ready to bring a few of my wellness offerings back to the table over the next few months.

First, I'm excited to lead Pose + Pint at Drastic Measures Brewing this coming Monday the 15th at 6pm! This will be my first full adult class I'll be teaching since baby - so come cheer me on and have a drink afterward! The intention is that this class will continue at the brewery monthly through winter.

Second, I will be leading ballet classes for ages 4-4th grade two afternoons a week - in both NYM and Perham. Links to details are in the comments of this post.

Third, while I don't plan to have any other public wellness events through the end of this year, I am more than happy to book special one-time private events including yoga, mindful hiking, + kayaking - or any other combination of mindfulness and outdoor adventure you can come up with!

Lastly, stay tuned for some magic I'm mixing up with Brittany and B Still Yoga in 2023 for those looking to broaden their knowledge of yoga...

Thank you for being a part of this journey ✨

I'm back from a week in the mountains, and ready to take on summer!

Our Wildlings program kicks off this week - and all classes are FULL (wowza!) except for our 4th-7th grade group - so if you've got an older kid looking to up their outdoor skills and nature connection this summer - check it out!

For all the kids at heart out there - I've got several other opportunities to join me for some fun just this week alone!

Tuesday at 5:30pm is our first summer sesh of patio yoga! (don't worry, my patio is shaded in the evenings). Class is open to all levels and will be a slow flow overlooking the fields and pines - and maybe even some grazing horses...

Thursday at 6pm is my monthly hike in partnership with She Ascends at Glendalough State Park

Saturday at 10am I'll be over at Drastic Measures Brewing in Wadena for a slow yoga flow followed by delicious beverages

AND

Sunday at 2pm is my first session on Paddle, Pose, + Peace at Glendalough - kayak, yoga, and connection on the beautiful waterways!

Check out our events page for details on all the fun - or message me with any questions!

Isn't it amazing, what nature can accomplish in just one month?

As I wrote my newsletter last month, I was just seeing the first specks of green appear out my window, patiently waiting for the trees to wake up from their winter slumber, for the flowers to bloom.

Now, our world is full of so much green that I hope it is not your least favorite color. Our world has come alive once again! Take in the magic.

It's easy to look at this pace of growth and think that it all just happens so easily, so quickly, for mother nature. It's easy to believe "I can't grow like that".

The truth is, you can, and you DO. While the leaves appear to have sprouted overnight, and the grass begins to grow at a sometimes alarming rate (....didn't I just mow yesterday??) this process is something that nature works toward ALL YEAR LONG. Every single day. This is not an overnight show. It is a performance prepared for day after day, night after night, in all weather, no matter what.

We often forget that we are nature. Nature is not something separate from us. So when we say that we have lost our connection to nature, we have lost our connection to ourselves.

Happy Mother's Day to all of the incredible moms, moms-to-be, those patiently waiting to become a mama, and those who embrace any form of mamahood.

Some women hold babies in their arms, some in their memories, some in their dreams, but all in their hearts. They are all mothers.

The things that make mothers unique are the qualities you embody: you nurture, you care, you comfort, you love, you help, you encourage, you speak, you support, you trust, you give, you hope. You are all these things.

So from us to you, happy mama's day to all of you beautiful women out there!

We may be biased, but we feel pretty lucky to have this awesome mama in the middle around here. If you haven't met her at basically any and every one of our events - you're missing out. Love you mom!

Notes from past retreat participants.....

YOU. BELONG. HERE.

It can't be much more clear than that. Adults need nature just as much as kids do! Our 24-hour retreats offer a moment to create space, to take a breath, to ground down so that you can step back into your daily life with a renewed sense of well-being.

If you are on the fence - the time is now! YOU. BELONG. HERE. with us - May 21-22 at Lake Carlos State Park. Spots are filling - make sure one of them is YOURS! Link to details in comments.

When I am among the trees,
especially the willows and the honey locust,
equally the beech, the oaks and the pines,
they give off such hints of gladness.
I would almost say that they save me, and daily.

I am so distant from the hope of myself,
in which I have goodness, and discernment,
and never hurry through the world
but walk slowly, and bow often.

Around me the trees stir in their leaves
and call out, “Stay awhile.”
The light flows from their branches.

And they call again, “It's simple,” they say,
“and you too have come
into the world to do this, to go easy, to be filled
with light, and to shine.”

↟ Mary Oliver

HAPPY EARTH DAY!

Today and every day, I hope you find a moment to lie among the trees, to go easy, to be filled with light, and to shine ☀️

Our Story

At Roots + Wings Wellness, we believe that by connecting with the elements of nature, we begin to recognize that these elements also reside within ourselves. When we nurture our unique self - body, mind and spirit - we deepen our relationship not only to ourselves, but to others and the world around us. By connecting yoga with Ayurveda and the natural world, we seek to create a deeper understanding of the relationship between self and nature - knowing that nature connection helps us to reset, recharge, reconnect, and rewild. When we turn down the noise of our modern world and turn inward - we find the answers we seek, the life we are searching for, are not waiting for us out there - they are within us, ready to be discovered.

Our offerings include:
