dream yoga motherhood
Until my Yoga practice became the great facilitator of all things in my life, the integration of career, purpose and motherhood felt like an unattainable dream.
I make the necessary "corrections" if I find myself leaning too far in one direction.
strong mean support
Balance for me now means seeing myself as a tree, being strong enough in my roots and trunk to not be a pushover, but being flexible enough in every circumstance not to break. I am continuing to expand, but not any faster than my roots can support me.
attitude focus
Nine times out of ten it's a minor shift in your focus and your attitude that makes the difference.
balance
I saw that all aspects of my life had been pulling me out of balance because I hadn't perceived them as part of a "whole," or the totality that was "me."
unity world duality
As yogis, we are constantly exploring the world of duality, while being acutely aware of the unity of all things.
mind surrender stability
We explore within postures everything we deal with in life: the interplay between resistance and surrender; establishing stability and maintaining flexibility; learning to receive and release; being present to all the complexities of our lives, and returning to the fundamentals of our "beginner's mind" again and again.
opportunity challenges growth
We are all being called to be more present than ever, while dealing with a more challenging array of personal and professional challenges, opportunities and all-around growth.
believe world i-believe
There is a polarizing and dualistic experience occurring politically and economically in the world, and I believe we are near the peak of a cyclical and truly chaotic time.
war heart mind
The mind and heart is the field upon which war is waged within us. If we can stop that internal fear-based battle, then those outside of us will be affected as well.
You can still do all the same things. How you do them is what will shift.
I am not advocating doing nothing. I am advocating for you to energetically, actively and vigilantly monitor how you are BEING.
fighting feel-good making-a-difference
It feels good to rail against what is wrong in the world, to fight the good fight, to beat the drum of making a difference. I am right there with you.
philosophy reality participation
After all, if we are co-creators of our reality, as so many philosophies have espoused, then we have a say in how it is, how it goes and our participation in it, right?
