Hey friends! It’s been a while. I figured it’s a good time to fill you in on what I’ve been up to… I’ve had to take a step back from it all in order to reconnect to my practice and to get clear around what’s really important for me, what I want to focus my energy and attention on, and what it is I want to share.
A 10-minute, seated practice that combines MFR with gentle stretches and breath work to help you wake up and expand your lung capacity before paddling out for a surf.
Another September has come and gone, and for the 2nd year, I participated in the SurfAid September #MakeAWave Challenge of surfing 30 days to raise funding and awareness for the SurfAid Programs.
My current, go-to, Pre-Surf Stretch for when my body is feeling stiff and a bit surfed-out. This sequence could also be nice for a brief Active Recovery practice post-training or post-surf/sport
It was an honor to have the opportunity to write a piece for the Manduka Blog as a part of the Manduka x Gerry Lopez collection launch. In this article, I share my personal experiences with surfing and yoga and how I view the two as similar spiritual paths that reconnect us to life.
As we continue to adapt to these times, I wanted to post a quick update about my online yoga offerings.

Even though we can’t practice together in person, at least we can still practice together virtually!
Release tension in the hands and the wrists with this simple-yet-effective myofascial release (MFR) technique that can easily be done at your desk! As humans, we use our hands a lot, so this technique will benefit everyone, and can be helpful to ease pain associated with overuse, carpal tunnel, or arthritis.
Practice yoga online with Cait! This class is a 40-minute practice that includes soothing breath work and a gentle flow. Enjoy this practice first thing in the morning to set the tone for the day, or practice in the evening as a way to reset after a long day. This class is great for all levels of practice.
This is one of my favorite myofascial release (MFR) techniques that I do pretty much daily! Use a therapy ball to release tension and restore tissue integrity in the feet. Our feet are our foundation, and if you’re like me you may spend a lot of time on them! Give your feet some relief and notice the effects in the rest of the body.
According to the USGS, over 1,200 earthquakes have hit Puerto Rico’s southern region since December 28th. In the last week, a series of strong quakes (M5.8, M6.4, M5.9) caused massive destruction and widespread anxiety, and communities across the south need support. Here are a few ways that you can help.
I was first introduced to breath-work through yoga. In recent years, my interest in breath-work has expanded to other techniques and applications. And aside from all of the different breathing practices and theories and techniques, I think we can collectively agree that there lies a little bit of magic in taking a slow, deep breath.
