These past few weeks, I’ve been leading an Inspired Living Coaching series with some of the most awesome individuals I’ve ever met. Some of you already know this because you are participating as one of these amazing humans. 😊 I love leading these kinds of workshops as they facilitate growth in such powerful, unexpected and… Read More
Nine months is how long it took for me to gestate each of my three kids (actually Seiji actually opted for the 10-month plan, without approval, mind you!). Nine months is the time it took for me to craft, write, research, defend and publish my Doctoral Dissertation. Nine months is the length of many Yoga… Read More
I found an old friend in my book of poems this past week. Maybe you heard me share it in class. Ordinary Life by Karolyn Kinane “My ordinary life will sometimes tell Me that I need to rush through dinner, or Fill empty space with words to numb my mind With movies, facebook, junk food,… Read More
I’m practicing rest. I’m practicing rest because I found a connection between rest for my body and my ability to trust… to trust myself, others, even the universe. When my body feels rested, my mind eases, my heart softens and my breath deepens. All of these things are good, just in themselves, but that, together,… Read More
There’s a new buzz with the hope of the New Year. Do you feel it? Maybe it’s just a ringing in my head from the political news stories… Maybe it’s the excitement of a new blank planner (am I the ONLY ONE who loves business supplies?), the thrill of new yoga gear from holiday gifts,… Read More
New Year, graduation celebrations, Mondays, and even daily attitude adjustments are ways of resetting and allowing ourselves to #beginagain. I begin again a lot! When we create an intentional pause, like these examples, we have an opportunity to define a moment and redefine our intentions around that moment. Hence, commencements are a beginning more than… Read More
How do you prepare for the year? Are you a resolution setter? A Vision Board builder? A dreamer, a planner, or a fly-by-the seat-of-your-pants-er? Or are you a nay-sayer when it comes to set intentions and aspirations for your “Bucket List”? I’d love to hear how you plan to show up in 2019! I’ve tried… Read More
Happy Holidays. I hope you are finding time to cultivate self-care and connection with those you most love this Holiday Season. In all transparency, I am resuming my own self-care practices after a bit of a lapse. Between the challenges of the “shorter” days, a new studio, and a house full of teenagers, it seems… Read More
For me to stand together is a sign of our humanity and the support of one another. To laugh together is a means to share joy, and sorrow through connection and community. To practice together is permission to be imperfect in our efforts, but to stay the course, to continue the practice. This is the… Read More
I need to laugh, a lot. I try to laugh at least once a day. These days it seems like I need laughter like a multi-vitamin to enhance my immune system from the infection of dis-ease, dis-appointment, and dis-pair. Last week I invited you to stand with me, to stand together. I am so grateful… Read More
My heart is heavy as I write this love letter to you. The state of our world has me heart-broken and sad. There I said it. It is not wrong to have feelings, it’s not bad to have strong feelings. After decades of anxiety and belly aches, I learned the hard way that not all… Read More
Happiness is said to have three ingredients: something to do, something to love, something to hope for. In my coaching and teaching, I’ve learned that modern humans have no shortage of things to do. However, many of these to-do list things lack the potency to cultivate joy. Additionally, many people lack “love” in the way… Read More
