Listen deeply, gracious living

In meditation and yoga, we might feel and hear the silence of the unstuck sound whose echoes ripple into and through our lives and move us.

May our lives be our silent cheer of gratitude!

Take time each day to tune in to its inner pulsations through your yoga and meditation, and listen deeply.

Toppling statues that divide us

In yoga and meditation, we honor the universal that unites us.

Through movement, breath work, meditation, and self-study, we begin to feel this universal.

Through yoga and meditation, we work with compassion to topple ideas we may in ignorance hold dearly that divide us from the universal and to honor those that unite us.

It is time to topple those statues that divide us and erect those that unite us!

A steady diet

In these turbulent and volatile times, we share the steadiness we gain from regular yoga and meditation like wildflower seeds–indiscriminately and freely where the winds will carry them and wherever they may find fertile soil to grow.

Certainly probably fine

As we move into a yoga pose, we move into a space that is not our typical body position, and we move carefully yet with intention all the while trying our best to be safe. Our keen attention to the present keeps us safer as we move into and through these postures.

Such awareness is what we need during these COVID times.

Yoga can help us to live from the space of certainly probably fine.

Love heals

On this weirdest coinciding of Father’s Day, the solstice, an eclipse, International Day of Yoga, Juneteenth, a pandemic, economic strain, racial time of reckoning, and political turmoil, may we collectively and individually summon and offer our love to heal ourselves, those around us, and this lovely planet.

Love does not fix wounds. It heals them!

The surprise of the mind–from boredom to delight

Often at the start of meditation or yoga, you may find your attention wandering the streets of your mind like a bored teenager looking for action.

Movement in yoga can keep the mind sufficiently entertained as it slows down.

As the breath and mind slow, the mind starts to give up its quest, and begins to twirl more care-free in the field of its own delight!

Bring the mind back!

The breath is happening now. The body is here now.

When our mind’s attention is on the breath and/or the body, the mind is present here, now.

So easy to say… but not to do.

It is a practice to bring our attention back to the breath and to the body.

Why does your mind wander away from now so often? Where does it go?

What brings your mind back to this moment?
