New Blog Post: Late Summer Heaviness

Dear Friends,

The late-summer heaviness abounds around here…you know the kind where you’re anxious for a change in the weather, but the mosquitoes are still out in force and the air is still heavy with humidity. Perhaps by the time this gets to you that will have changed.

A few weeks ago a couple students and I went on a little hike in the park. It was hot in our area that week…really hot, and while Friday wasn’t the hottest of days of the week, it was plenty warm. And yet, in the park surrounded by nature instead of cement, with the trees shading our walk, things were cooler, they were more sustainable, they were significantly more pleasant. Perhaps not perfect, but certainly not dreadful.

I was thinking about that anxiousness for change we often experience. I was wondering how it might feel if we saw that anxiousness, and recognized it for what it is, but also practiced finding contentment in the here and now, even if the here and now isn’t the most comfortable space. Perhaps we can begin to see and notice the spaces that are more pleasant in our lives even when we deeply want change.

My dear friend, I hope you can find something a little more sustainable, a little more pleasant, even if the desire for change is at the forefront of your heart.

Have an amazing week.

Love
Krista

A wildly beautiful day in a wildly beautiful place!!!! Rode up Muottas Muragl on a funicular, hiked across the mountain, and rode down on a chairlift. Amazing.

New Blog Post: Shift in Perspective

Dear Friends,

September of 2023 I had the privilege of leading a group to a little town called Akureyri in Northern Iceland for a retreat. The magic of that place is palpable…from the rainbows we saw just about every day of our trip, to the stories our host Andreas told us of elves and trolls, to the dramatic landscape and waterfalls and soaks in mineral pools, magic abounded.

As I was sitting in a mineral pool overlooking the ocean, a stone's throw from the Arctic circle on my birthday I had this sudden realization that, as far as retreats go, Andreas built the type of retreat I wanted to emulate going forward.

Prior to that, the couple of overseas retreats I had led and a heavy emphasis on classes throughout the day…but I didn’t want that. I wanted the emphasis to be on the travel, the adventure, the play, seeing and experiencing new things…with the movement as a beautiful added bonus.

It’s not that I was doing it wrong before, but there was a sudden realization of what fit and felt better for me specifically.

That retreat changed the way I did things moving forward in ways that I love.

My dear friend, I hope we can be open to the change that life sometimes brings our way, we can see the beauty in it, we can learn from it, and we can integrate it into our lives.

Have an amazing week, my friend.

Love
Krista

Join me for a spectacular retreat to North Iceland! Just a few degrees from the arctic circle, this island of fire and ice is the perfect backdrop to recharge, reset and recalibrate with the energies of the primal earth and geothermal waters.
Always magical, North Iceland in autumn boasts glorious color, milder weather, plenty of daylight, fewer tourists, and perhaps even a glimpse of the Northern Lights.
Each morning we will have lead an inclusive, all-levels yoga and movement class followed by afternoon adventures exploring the landscapes of the North. You’ll visit power places of Iceland, wander the other-wordly lava landscapes, soak in the volcanically heated mineral hot springs, marvel at the majestic waterfalls and more!

This 8 day, 7 night retreat will help you relax, feel rejuvenated, and reconnect with your spirit of adventure.

New Blog Post: Last Christmas

Dear Friends,

Last Christmas day I flew across the country in my Christmas onesie pj’s with a bow attached to the front and my Santa hat to surprise my parents and my sister. As I sprinted across the Denver Airport sweating through said onesie pj’s, I wondered if I was going to get stuck in the Denver Airport on Christmas day, with only two full days + some extra planned for my trip, and with no more flights leaving for my sister's small town until a few days later.

Spoiler alert: I made my flight...although not without regret for the clothing choices of the now sweated-through Christmas onesie pj’s (and as an aside to note for the future, onesies are not great in airplane bathrooms).

The drama was all worth it for the look on my mom and dad’s faces when I walked into that room and yelled “surprise!”

We spent a long weekend together exploring my sister and brother-in-law’s adorable town, and at the end of the weekend we all piled into my sister’s minivan, went to the tiny airport, watched a beautiful sunset from the terminal, hugged goodbye and off I went, back across the country.

I’ve been thinking about that trip a lot lately. While I knew it had been a long time since I’d been able to have Christmas with my folks, I had no way of knowing that last Christmas would be my dad’s last Christmas on earth, and I am so very grateful that I got to spend that day and that weekend with him, sweaty pj’s and all.

My dear friend, I hope, as we move through life, that we find a little more time and space to spend time with and cherish the people we love.

Have an amazing week.

Love
Krista

New Blog Post: Creative Thinking

Dear Friends,

Gardening has always been one of those activities I feel like I should enjoy, but in reality I don’t really. I sure do appreciate a beautiful garden, but do I have one myself? No, no I do not.

I was with a client the other day, she needed to get some gardening done and it was her hour to spend, so that’s exactly what we did. I was having a great time digging holes and chatting, and as I did, I was thinking, it’s not that I dislike gardening, it’s that I don’t have time in my life for it. So instead of gardening feeling like a relaxing activity and something I look forward to, it’s a burden and a thing on the list of things that I need to get done.

But this particular gardening session was nothing like that…because it wasn’t my garden and it wasn’t my time, it was someone else's garden and someone else’s time, and what a delightful time it was.

Later that day I was helping a client think through how to keep showing up to her movement practice even though her life situation has shifted a bit…and, my friend, we were able to reframe some thinking and figure out spaces and we found a way forward even in a changed situation.

Sometimes it takes some creative thinking to figure out ways to show up for areas in our lives that perhaps might feel like a burden, or areas that we no longer have the same time or space that we used to. But I think, with a willingness to expand our thinking and think creatively we can continue to show up for those areas in life that might sometimes feel necessary, but not exactly desired.

I hope you have an amazing week, my friend.

Love
Krista

New Blog Post: I thought

Dear Friends,

I thought that this was the week I’d get back to writing, that I would feel inspired again…but I sit down and nothing comes.

Life gets that way sometimes, right?

As some of you know, my dad passed away quickly and unexpectedly earlier this month, so fast and unexpected it was a bit like whiplash.

I have this laundry list of circumstances, timelines, people, events that I am so profoundly grateful for through this whole experience, and they run through my mind on the daily, but at the end of the day my dad still passed away, and that is really hard.

This past weekend my son, some friends and I took the paddle boards and the canoe out and spent a beautiful and delightful day on the water. I thought of my dad as I taught two twelve year olds how to do a c stroke and a j stroke in the canoe like my dad had done for that age group for a lifetime. I told them a joke I had heard from my dad a million times about “high finance canoeing” (you go from bank to bank)...it landed pretty flat because, well, they’re twelve year olds and also, I just don’t tell jokes like my dad did…but no one does.

Gratitude and profound sadness at times go hand in hand as we walk through this life.

Have an amazing week, my friend.

Love
Krista

Praying

It doesn’t have to be
the blue iris, it could be
weeds in a vacant lot, or a few
small stones; just
pay attention, then patch

a few words together and don’t try
to make them elaborate, this isn’t
a contest but the doorway

into thanks, and a silence in which
another voice may speak.

HOPE

Hope is there alright
but you have to let it,
you have to let hope tip the scales.

Everywhere you look, it is there—
standing up, stepping forward,
speaking out. No more of this,
yes now to that, shaking hands, planting
trees, counting birds, counting stars, starfish,
grains of sand clinging to toes.

You have to let it.
You have to take your hand off the scale.
You have to let go of helpless,
reach out your finger
and place it on hope.

-Mary Walker

There is a life-force

within your soul,

seek that life.

There is a gem in the

mountain of your body,

seek that mine.

O traveler, if you are

in search of that,

don't look outside,

look inside yourself

and seek That.
