You Gave Your Students Everything. This Is Yours.

A new scholarship for educators, worth two thousand dollars toward any Yinsa retreat. All of my friends IRL are teachers. Almost twenty years in a New York classroom taught me something most people never see from the outside. Educators give constantly, all year long, and very rarely does anyone...

Burning It All To The Ground...

I haven't been in a classroom in four years. After spending over two decades in schools, the last time I worked with kids in a school was June, 2022. That shifted this summer in the most bizarre way possible. Here's the story. Within seven days in early June, I onboarded two new partners for my c...

2027 Retreats are Here!

Morning, Collective, We are still coming down from Portugal. Eight days of narrative therapy, movement, creative writing, and a group of women who showed up ready to do real work. I keep coming back to something one of our travelers wrote to us afterward: "I really learned to find myself again, ...

Portugal, Pickpockets, and the Practice of Letting Go

🦋 The Friday Flutter 🦋 July 24, 2026 Off the mat, Outside the studio, Up and down the cobblestone hills Of a foreign city With an unfamiliar language But a common humanity, Stretching myself not just in body but in mind, Leaning into the comfort of the discomfort, And breathing through it all, ...

The Workout Myth That’s Been Exhausting You

🦋 The Friday Flutter 🦋 July 11, 2026 My name is PAVITA and I. AM. from: The sound of laughter. The sight of pink, paint, paisley, and paper. The smell of lavender oil massaging my body with love. The taste of spicy curries over rice. The touch of smooth pages of a book. The value of self-care...

The Yinsa Foundation Update

Eight years of Yinsa has always meant body and mind, East and West, and ancient wisdom held next to evidence-based practice. This year, that same marriage extended somewhere new: the Yinsa Foundation, and our first Fellowship on the ground at FONICRIS, an orphanage in La Romana, Dominican Republ...

We Turned 8! Yinsa LLC Becomes Yinsa, Inc.

The day before our launch party on June 15th, 2018, my car was towed by the glorious NYC Department of Finance. That car was full of supplies for the day's photoshoot with an A/V team, I had a house full of friends and family helping me with final details, and my Mom's credit card was the onl...

A Vacation or a Retreat...Which One Do You Need?

You've been saying you need a vacation. But what if what you actually need is something else entirely? I've been watching a pattern for years - in my clients, in women who follow me, in myself. We work ourselves into the ground, hit a wall, and then book a trip thinking five days somewhere warm w...

I Wanted Evidence That The Work Was Working

You already know how I feel about evidence. Document everything. When it comes to things like coaching or retreats, it's often hard to measure results. Transformational coaching is powerful. I know this because I have lived it and I have watched women completely rebuild their lives inside of it...

She showed up to one of my classes carrying everything.

Not a mat bag. I mean everything. The weight of everyone else’s needs. The habit of shrinking. The exhaustion that comes from spending years making sure every person around you is okay while quietly falling apart yourself. Her name is Diandra. If you're on this list, you've received an email fr...
