Myth Magic

I wanna talk about something I call “Myth Magic”… and share a little about how we can SHIFT our way into living in greater ease.

How about a Play date?

As a professional Yoga Teacher, I am often asked about learning advanced postures and practices. For some, “advanced” yoga assumes twisting and folding the body into tighter pretzel shapes or balancing upside down on the smallest pinky finger. If you Google advanced yoga postures, this is exactly what you’ll find: images of complicated poses and… Read More

Is self-care the secret?

Not a joke :)

What does Scrooge, a spider and a Yogi have in common?   Connection. It’s about connection, which is Yoga. In other words, #itsallyoga. I’ve always been fascinated by the work of spiders to build and maintain their webs, when I can observe from a safe distance, that is. It’s the abandoned webs that I don’t… Read More

Reflections

Have you started the RE-DO process yet… the effort to reschedule the events and appointments you had to cancel and post-pone this past year due to COVID-19 and social distancing? I’m just starting… dentist and doctors appointments first. But then it occurred to me… maybe there is an even more urgent check-in needed. The check-in… Read More
