I didn’t intend on offering a new, in person, group course at the beginning of the year but I’m leaning in where I’m needed and being of service the best way I know how. A live, local, super small group life coaching and yoga therapy experience is in the process of being created. I’m not writing a curriculum …
How To Get What You Truly Want
This holiday season I have a challenge for you. It’s a practice that’s simple in nature but for many of us it isn’t easy. It’s the practice of truly receiving. For a long time, I struggled with receiving on just about every level, from food to gifts to money to compliments. If someone complimented my dress, I’d say “Oh? …
Now Is Not The Time To Stay Small Or Shut Up.
The world needs you and now is not the time to stay small or shut up. It’s the time to look at what habits and hang ups are holding you back and get to work on breaking through the blocks. It won’t necessarily be easy, but it isn’t as hard as staying stuck and silent – at least …
Commitment Without Clinging.
I am perpetually trying to get rid of 99% of the things in my house. It’s my never ending war on clutter. Why? Because I can’t focus when stuff is everywhere. I get super overwhelmed and don’t know where to begin, so I just shut down and let the laundry mountain grow and the paperwork pile overflow. I’ve never …
Sugar, Sex, Scandal…and Yoga?
Do you crave sugar, sex, Netflix binges, coffee, or alcohol? I do and I’m willing to bet that you do too. Perhaps your specific cravings are different, but its not a stretch to assume that you have some. We all do and many of us spend a great deal of time, energy, and money trying to manage or eliminate them. …
What do time, information, plastic, and robbery have in common?
Your time is incredibly valuable. When you take a moment to read my essays you are offering me some of your time and I do not take that for granted. To take up your time and not offer something of value in return would essentially be stealing. As yogis we are always looking into our thoughts, words, and actions and …
I F*d Up
A really big mistake keeps haunting me. A few years ago I decided to finally follow my heart and start my own business. After awhile I decided that I knew a great deal about my work but very little about “business” or how to spread the word about what I was offering. I was super passionate about sharing the tools …
First Things First…
Create a solid foundation. Laying the ground work has historically not been my strong suit. I’m excellent at seeing the potential, the possibility, the big picture, and the upside in even the most troubling situations but it’s my inclination to jump in and go full speed ahead before a plan or practical set of procedures has been put in place. Ironically, …
My Favorite Remedy For Overwhelm
Get clear on your values and take action. If you have been drowning in your to-do list or feeling bowled over by commitments and expectations, this exercise is extra important for you. Simply ask yourself: What is most important to me? At this stage I don’t mean what on my to-do list is most important. I mean was is actually most …
