The Journey In

"And you? When will you being that long journey into yourself?” - Rumi Here we are, one month into 2021 - ready for new beginnings, leaning towards hope, and desperate for our world to heal. I’m sure I am not alone when I say that this year so far has been exhausting. I often find…

Our creativity is born from our desire to perpetuate life. When we create something, whether it be a piece of music, a gourmet meal, or a social media post, we are affirming to the universe that we are capable of manifestation. It is the life force energy, or prana, that rides on our breath and is…

“Thank you is the best prayer that anyone could say.” -Alice Walker Gratitude is not only healing, it is the pathway to abundance. As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday here in the US, it is easy to put a lens on what isn’t right this year. Many of us aren’t traveling, communing with family, or…

“The world is a contradiction; the universe is a paradox.” - Kedar Joshi In our stillness there are waves of potential. In our vulnerability there is strength. We can be peaceful warriors, hopeful skeptics, and spiritual beings in a material world. Our contradictions are what make us human, not our perfectionism. When we learn to…

Dear friends, In this time of unpredictability, confusion, and grief, let’s remember what we do have mastery over: our inner realm. Within you is a space that is untethered, impenetrable, unshakeable, and unbounded. Just like a hole deep within the earth, there is space inside you that can only be found when you dig deep.…

“The wound is the place where the light enters you” Rumi One of the things that inspires me most about yoga postures are that they are a powerful metaphor for life. Some poses elicit feelings of joy, comfort, and ease while others can bring up frustration, fear, and anxiety. The poses themselves are neutral but…

“Practice becomes firmly grounded when well attended to for a long time, without break, and with devotion.” Sutra 1:14 When things get challenging, our practice is often the first to go. It’s in these experiences, that shake the ground beneath us, that actually call for us to step on our mats. This is when we…

“It is when we are in transition that we are most completely alive.” -William Bridges Fall is such a powerful reminder of transience of all things.
