💜When we are able to "be love" itself and see the love of the Divine all around us then we are naturally content in the present moment as it is. ✨️I've been working on this specific concept for a long time. I now finally feel like I truly embody love and see the love of Source all around. 💜I used to need love from outside of myself or deplete myself from over giving in the name of love. Now I just am love. In any given moment, full, flowing and radiating- love. My love is

The reflection also makes reference to the Kleshas or the Hindrances of the Mind- both philosophical concepts are written about in the Yoga Sutras.  I break down philosophical concepts to support individuals in understanding themselves a bit more through a yogic lens. 💜I currently offer virtual Yoga Th

💜This week in classes it's all about Santosha or the practice of contentment. ✨️To get a glimpse of why yoga philosophy tells us that contentment is such an important practice I'm sharing directly from the source of the Yoga Sutras. Practicing contentment supports: attainment of supreme joy. I mean, who doesn't want that?! 💜Yoga is not just movement and relaxation- it is literally a guidebook for how to live your life in a way that lines you up to connect with your most au

This week in classes will begin a look at Santosha or the practice of contentment. Santosha is an invitation to stop using phrases such as: “I’d be happy if….” “It’ll be better when…”, “If only it was like this…” and accepting things just as they are. Contentment battles the human tendencies to compare ourselves to others, to wish circumstances or people to be different from how they are, and to need things/stuff/possessions outside of ourselves to rest in abiding joy. We b

💜This month has been all about Saucha, purity/cleanliness and this week is focused specifically on Yogic Nutrition for the entire being, using the Koshas as a lens. All of the layers of our being are connected and affect one another. When we care for, cleanse and purify the body it supports cleansing the other layers. The opposite is also true- when we ingest chemicals regularly it mucks up the works of all of our layers. Step by step Saucha invites us to clean up what we

💜My training background is in Comprehensive Yoga Therapy. This basically means that Yogic Nutrition for the entire being was a core teaching I received when I was training to become a Yoga Therapist. When I began applying this specific philosophy to my life it supported huge leaps in my overall wellness. This is why I share. If this sounds interesting come check out Livestream classes with me this week. ✨️A regular Hatha Yoga practice benefits overall health and wellness. I

✨️For the past 3 weeks I have been talking about Saucha, purity/cleanliness, in my classes. As per how it usually goes, what I teach is then highlighted for practice in my life. 💜This week I'm specifically talking about and practicing purity of the mind. I was gifted with a day today where I truly got to focus on this by relaxing on my porch, listening to cicadas, catching up on astrological updates, checked in on a few friends, ate healthy yummy food, drank tea and lots

✨️Although I have no photographic evidence, I taught a lovely class by the pond @rainbowmoonfest yesterday. The experience was quite interesting and exactly as it was meant to be....which included me being brave and holding off some angry geese who were pissed that there were humans hanging by their pond. I literally was a body guard protecting students from a hissing goose so they could rest in Svasana. 💜All in all yesterday was a day filled with messengers, synchroni

💜This week in classes it's all about Saucha, purity/cleanliness and keeping the body clean. Yogis eat clean to support the benefits of a regular Hatha Yoga practice. ✨️It was a long road that led me towards clean eating.  That road wasn't yoga philosophy telling me to do so- it was my body that begged for it. 💜I had been experiencing episodes of extreme pain in my low belly for awhile that eventually got diagnosed by my primary as IBS in 2019 and I was told to eat low FODMA
