Anchors I keep coming back to practices around grounding and stability. Quite truthfully because the last few years of my life have been a whirlwind. If you follow astrology, which I do on a very small level, you know that us Capricorns (along with Aeries, and Libra)...
Balance the Ego Has your ego crept into your yoga practice? It can be quite easy to allow the ego to take over the purpose of our practice. But how do we decipher when our ego has taken the wheel? What is ego? It is a false self. It happens when we start to attach...
Ground with Strength Last week our inspiration had us going “wild”. Offering the opportunity to build up and practice variations of our Wild Thing. As fun as that was (I had some students ask if I could do it again this week!) we can’t stay wild too long. We must come...
Be Free – Let’s Get Wild! After a little down time, infused with sunshine, friends and love, and careless days. I’m feeling energized again. I’m ready to get back to schedules, productivity, and planning. However, this past week was a reminder that even within the...
Let’s Slow Down It has been a fast ride into 2025 thus far! Does anyone else feel this way? But at the same time, it’s felt good to have the boost of energy and exploration of adventure. With that said, there’s a little change of pace coming this week and I will...
Adventure This time of year, I start to get a little antsy. While I’ve found some winter hobbies I have come to love dearly, it’s more of the idea of wanting to escape, craving adventure. Adventure is different for everyone! For some, it may be a trip abroad, with a...
Taking the Leap Over the past month I have witnessed our Yoga Teacher Trainees take many leaps! The leap into our training program. The leap to meet new people, to begin using their voice, to find new ways to think about their yoga practice. It’s incredible to watch...
Focus & Structure In a conversation with a friend this past weekend we talked about structure. Creating organization in our lives. I got to thinking then about focus. If we are creating structure, what is it for? Is it to go through the daily tasks of life? Is the...
The Pace of Life Pace yourself. I found my inner voice telling me this over the past few weeks. Yes, we must move through life at various paces. Sometimes we’re able to take a slow pace, and other times we must pick that pace up. Ultimately, we should search for...
Yoga Inspiration: Resistance Over the past week I have been thinking about resistance. How we fight against so much in our lives. Even at the very scientific theoretical level we are resisting gravity at every moment. Moreover, are our emotions, beliefs, eating well,...
Togetherness & Separation The holidays are about togetherness. Slowing down, spending time with our loved ones, spending time with ourselves. Enjoying gatherings for a meal around a table, and for some, a spirit in the coziness of our homes. It’s a wonderful time...
Yoga Inspiration: Full Circle I've recently been considering the concept of when life comes "full circle". As my parents age, my nieces grow into beautiful women, and my boys - pups! - age in front of my eyes each day. Then I consider the time I have lived in Calgary,...
