Our Collective Energy Here in Calgary, the Calgary Stampede is just days away. An event that draws hundreds of thousands of people to our city. Some for the traditions of Stampede, others for the music, the food, and all things in between. I’ve attended some of the...
Grow Through It “Don’t go through life, grow through it.” – Eric Butterworth My practice of yoga has become a lifestyle, no not just through my career, but a way I move within the world every day. It lends to how I build relationships, make decisions on life paths,...
Smooth It Out The ripples of life are what make it interesting, am I right? However, sometimes it can feel as if we are in a raft bumping down a rushing river – I think many of us have seen this depicted on social media in some form. But as fun and exciting as this...
Keep 'Em on Their Toes There’s this great country song that recently crept into my playlist, “Keep Em on They Toes” - no that is not a typo. 🙂 There are various artists that cover it however, the original was written by Brent Cobb. It’s a great tune about living the...

The Little Things Isn’t it funny when you look back on life’s moments. While we may categorize our life by larger events; before marriage, after college, before the passing of a loved one. We often recall many of the little intricacies and explicit moments that often...
The Residue This past weekend our most recent Yoga Teacher Trainees graduated the 200HR YTT and became Certified Yoga Teachers. With the AYC this process takes 4 months of periodic gathering and learning together, as well as personal work and growth that occurs off...
