Here is a very short list various inspirations of the top books and podcasts that come to mind.

If you think you don't have time for yoga, think again. Yoga is not out of your reach. If you make the time to twist yoga into your schedule for even a few minutes you will feel more alive and centered in the morning, strong and creative during the day, and calm and relaxed in the evening.

In each yoga class, there always seems to be an element of practicing balance - or as yogis say sattva. Whether we are balancing on one foot, establishing the breath where the inhalation mirrors the length of the exhalation, or sitting in meditation, one of the goals is to catch a glimpse of the quality of balance and equanimity …

Let’s be honest here: there are some yoga poses that we love and there are others that we avoid. With few exceptions, backbends tend to elicit a passionate response - it’s a love/hate relationship. People either pepper their practice with deeper and deeper ones or they skip them whenever possible.

Our yoga practice invites us to inquire + inspire and also to trust in what we cannot see or know. We are asked us to trust in the future and to loosen our grip on the attachment we have to our immediate actions and their corresponding specific outcomes - both on and off the mat.

A Yoga Teacher Training is more than just a yoga class or even a yoga retreat; it's a journey into the deeper aspects of our minds and hearts, a pathway of personal development, growth and living a better life.

I’m not a resolution kinda person but in the spirit of change and shifting years from saying goodbye to 2021 and twirling into 2022, I certainly do appreciate the opportunity to take stock and evaluate things:

New year and another trip around the sun. So, here’s 22 for 2022 and to a year of manifesting miracles, magic and meaningful memories:

Certain moments go down history and this was one I certainly didn’t expect. It wasn’t until President Biden’s inauguration ceremony, that I learned about the brilliant youth poet laureate, Amanda Gorman, who read her poem, The Hill We Climb, to the world watching.

“When I feel overwhelmed or stressed or lose my center, I draw on one or all of these things:
Let the world speak to you.
Rest your mind on your breath.

Nature is dynamic and as humans, we are a part of nature and are also dynamic beings. Everything within and around us is in constant flux + flow. With today being a new moon, I was reflecting on how the cycle of the moon affects me and in particular how the cycle of the moon is mirrored by the cycle of the breath

There is so much to learn - about each other and ourselves - and like no other time our willingness to listen and to learn is most critical. We are all wrestling with the reckoning of inequalities and injustices and, I too, have been reflecting on my own insights and actions on the topic of racism.

Life sure has a different rhythm these days, doesn’t it? While we are striving to maintain a balance of work and life, there is no question that if there ever was a time to stay as heathy as possible, this is it!

This little love note from the Goddess, Danielle Laporte, landed in my inbox some time ago and continues to inspire me when I forget about the light. 
So grateful for the bright lights out there who light the way for those who forget - and yes, I mean YOU! 

Progress is made by those who have the courage to be wrong and the persistence to find how to get it right. Great achievements are crafted into existence by those who, when they begin, are not sure exactly how they’ll do it. 

When we can learn to breathe through a long hold in a Warrior 2, or we pause at the bottom of the exhale and hold Chaturanga, we’re training our nervous system and our mind to breathe through an intense physical sensation. The practice of this, this training if you will, pays off when we're faced with obstacles off the mat. 

… my theme for yoga class is centred around how we plough forward in life creating, doing, experiencing and adventuring - sometimes without taking a moment too look over our shoulders and acknowledge just how far we've really come. Don't get me wrong, I am ALL about moving forward. Onwards and upwards! I'm all about being aware of what is AND what was.

YAY! You’ve just graduated from your first teacher training program. Now what?!

Here are some tips to keep in mind as you launch from your teacher training program into taking the Seat of a Teacher and to start to put yourself out there teaching yoga.

when you are lonely or in darkness,

the astonishing light of your own being."

"Water is fluid, soft, and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft and yielding will over come what is rigid and hard…
