Our Founder Jodee and CEO Ana began practicing yoga with Paola Mon & Fri from 2-3 PM ET way back in 2015. The two now laugh that they schedule meals, meetings and dog walks around this class they never want to miss. Paola is that good.

In March of 2020 — when the world went remote — the three conspired, “Let’s do the class via zoom and open it to our Cardies!” and it’s been a great commingling of Cardie energy from all over the country ever since. If you wish to join this very gentle vinyasana class (on a drop-in basis via zoom) just email [email protected] and we’ll add you to our invite list. It’s for beginners and longtime yoginistras alike.

If/when you join us, you’ll hear Paola in her soft, earth-mother voice and manner say something like:

“You have given yourself this gift of time and so have nowhere else to be, nothing else to do, no decisions to make. Enjoy it. You deserve it.”

Born and raised in Argentina, at age 10 Paola was struck by a car and thrown 25 ft. In the years after the accident, she had four surgeries, spent months at a time in a full-body cast and relied on a wheelchair. Paola’s mother introduced her to yoga in an effort to defy the doctors’ odds of her young daughter never walking again. Through yoga, physical therapy, and swimming, Paola slowly but surely recovered her full mobility in her teens.

Today, she has a wonderful, nurturing way of teaching us that yoga practice is just that — a practice — that makes us ever stronger, more patient and self-accepting on and off the mat.

Paola introduced us to this beautiful Sanskrit mantra and its meaning that feels so right for our times. Namaste.

Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhavantu
May all beings everywhere be happy and free. And may the thoughts, words, and actions of my own life contribute in some way to that happiness and to that freedom for all.
