There’s nothing easy about being easeful.

Let your yoga and meditation be your invitation….

As sugar infuses tea, the benefits of our yoga and meditation practices infuse our being to share most generously.

Even a touch can round out the bitter edges.

Let your yoga mat and meditation cushion be a safe place, a place to rest your nervous system, a respite for your heart and soul and mind.

Wrap yourself in its blanket!

From here, you can reset and reorient yourself.

May your yoga and meditation practices help you shine your light most generously–a kind word, a smile… a laugh.

Be generous in little ways to help create a waterfall!

The sky does not control the clouds and weather that pass through it.

In letting go of what we don’t control, there is greater peace.

Our yoga and meditation practices can help us reach to embody this openness.

The emotions and feelings associated with this pandemic are bound, at points, to push us all to our limits. Resisting these unexpected emotions and feelings can, to say the least, exasperate the stress.

Yoga and meditation can help us expand our capacity for these unexpected guests.

The practices can enlarge our emotional dinner table and help decrease this stress. With expanded love and compassion, we can wholeheartedly welcome them to our table.

Breathe in deep, and breathe out long!

It’s easy to get lost and totally occupied, and even overcome, with the hamster wheel of worries, fears, sadnesses, angers… joys, plans, expectations… regrets–

they flood our being with stress and avoiding and seeking that keep us frantically going round and round!

Through yoga and meditation, we can slow our running, and even step off the wheel.

With a compassionate heart, we can open to the vastness of space before us!

Steadfast practice will uplift, expand, and steady your state.

In such a whacky world, there’s something to be said for steadiness!

For many of us, it’s apt to be a long time before we again can practice yoga in a studio.

Now is the perfect time to start and develop your home practice!

It’s time to bring it OM!

One of the big questions in yoga, and life, is who am I?

Behind this play of personality, of likes and dislikes, opinions and judgements–behind this ego, who am I? Or is this who I am?

Yoga seeks to uncover the play of maya or consciousness and answer this age-old query… one practitioner at a time.*

Who is this masked man (or woman or ?)?

*Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras lays out the methodical practices to realize this–the practices of yoga, meditation, and breath work to see and experience beyond the fluctuations of the mind. This is the yogi’s journey.
