This is not AI.

And the fact that I even feel compelled to say that about a sunset over a lake in Michigan is… something.

I get it. I really do.

I worked in a world of data, code, systems and reporting for nearly 20 years. I was working with versions of what we now broadly call “AI” long before ChatGPT entered the conversation. I watched technology begin replacing pieces of my own career — and I chose to understand it, work with it and eventually embrace it.

I also understand the very real conversations happening around artists, writers, creators, jobs, energy use and environmental impact. There is a LOT worth questioning.

But maybe we can also make a little space between awareness and complete suspicion of everything we see.

Sometimes the sky really does this.

Sometimes Lake Michigan really looks completely fu***ng unreal.

Sometimes nature produces something more spectacular than any prompt ever could.

No AI. No generated sky. No fake sunset.

Just Michigan showing off.

Okay, soapbox over. 🌅

AND GO Chicago Bears

Sometimes yoga at looks like this. 🌿

When the barn is being enjoyed by a private group, we simply pivot — and our community yoga class moves poolside.

And honestly? It’s pretty magical.

Movement + breath surrounded by the woods, gardens and sounds of the property, with the year-round pool creating a beautiful backdrop for practice.

It’s one of the things I love most about teaching at Goldberry — every season brings a completely different experience.

Harbor Country gets so much attention in the summer, but fall, winter and spring are equally magical. Quieter, slower, and such a beautiful time to experience this little corner of Southwest Michigan.

Poolside yoga on a crisp fall morning? Yes, please. 🍂

Just another reason I love teaching here through every season. 🤍

A rare week where you can practice with me SIX days in a row. 🌙

Movement, Marma, meditation — and plenty of opportunities to carve out a little space for yourself as we move into September.

All the details are above, and you can reserve your spot online through the link in my bio.

Drop-ins are always welcome, but signing up ahead of time is so helpful — for me and for the beautiful spaces hosting us — and it helps me know who I’ll be practicing with that day.

Come once, come a few times, or make a week of it. 🤎

A little look back at the last 30 days of wellness at Goldberry Woods 🌿

From our weekly yoga classes to private wellness experiences, this past month has included movement, meditation, 1:1 Marma, a two-person Marma experience, and private group yoga + meditation.

One of my favorite parts of this summer has been working with the families and groups who make Goldberry Woods their home for a few days — sometimes renting the entire Inn or property. One guest joins a class, tells someone else in their group, and suddenly the next class is a little bigger…and then a little bigger. 🤍

It’s given me the opportunity to practice with some of the same groups over multiple days — something especially meaningful in a space where so many experiences are naturally one-time encounters.

And I’m incredibly grateful for my returning students who have continued to show up throughout the summer. Having that mix of familiar faces alongside guests experiencing my classes and Marma work for the first time has made this season feel especially full.

There are some things you hold close for a while before you’re ready to let the world in. 🌙

This has been one of them.

At 23 weeks pregnant, I finally feel ready to share: I’m having a baby. 🤍

This little one comes after seasons of hope, loss, uncertainty, and choosing to remain open.

Twelve years later, I find myself here again.

I’ve done this before.
And I have absolutely never done THIS before.

I’m returning to my prenatal yoga training, diving deeper into Ayurvedic wisdom around pregnancy and mothering, and listening to what this body and this season have to teach me.

I’m not here to document a pregnancy. I want to explore transformation through the lens of pregnancy—and I’m finally ready to share some of that journey. 🌙

🌙 Welcome to Ombra Lunare.

Many of you have known me over the years as Ferris Yoga. What began as teaching yoga has grown into something much more expansive.

As my studies and practice deepened into Ayurveda—including Marma Therapy and Herbalism—I found myself dreaming beyond weekly classes. I wanted to create experiences that help people truly reconnect with themselves: community classes, private wellness sessions, retreats, and eventually a line of thoughtfully crafted plant-based products.

I realized all of those pieces needed a home.

✨ Ombra Lunare is that home.

Inspired by nature and the rhythms of the moon, Ombra Lunare brings together movement, Marma Therapy, herbalism, meditation, and personalized wellness experiences throughout Harbor Country and Southwest Michigan.

Whether you’re joining me for a weekly class, booking a private experience at your home or vacation rental, or simply following along as this vision continues to grow, I’m so grateful you’re here.

This page is where I’ll be sharing upcoming classes, wellness inspiration, retreats, herbal education, and the evolution of Ombra Lunare.

Thank you for being part of this next chapter.

With gratitude,

Ferris McQuade

A little timeline of growth 🤍

And today, I got to see it all come together—watching him in his element at Science Olympiad ✨

I don’t take these moments for granted.
Fifth grade is wrapping up, middle school next… 🎓

And somehow, he just keeps getting cooler.

A quiet reminder for me to stay present in it all—
even when life feels full, fast, and a little overwhelming 🫶🏼
