My yoga routine has undergone many changes as my life has gone through many shifts. In my 30's it was a source of community and pride in what I could do with my body, and what I could help others to achieve with theirs. In my 40's, what started as a reach toward a deeper, more complete practice that included meditation suddenly became a lifeline in times of shocking life changes. Now, newly 50, I'm ready to find what we all seek, a union of all of the best of things: strength of body, soul, mind, compassion, empathy. I love teaching, but never forget the joy of being a student. I seek classes that embody all that I love about yoga. I teach for the same reasons. I adore bringing the peace and strength and joy of yoga to young and old. I love a beginner. I love the practice of laughter and acceptance and letting go of judgement.

Today, I grabbed my mat and headed to the gorgeous Arboretum to soak in some gentle heat while practicing on the soft grass beneath huge shady trees. The peace that came was a gift. Cicadas provided the best soundtrack. My balance is always more steady and secure outside, I can't say why, but I love it.

I'm looking to do more of this. I hope to bring more of my classes for singers to more schools this year. I hope to reconnect with people who want to meet, hopefully outdoors somewhere lovely, and simply find joy in each other and the beautiful asanas.

Namaste, all...

Good morning..it’s been a while since I’ve posted, but my meditation and the words read all but required me to speak.

“Stories are like time capsules. They carry pieces of truth and meaning over time. ..It is the sweat and tears of the telling that bring the meaning out of its sleep as if no time has passed. It is the telling that heals. ..Often we repeat stories, not because we are forgetful or indulgent, but because there is too much meaning to digest in one expression. ..So we keep sharing the story that presses on our heart until we understand it all.

*The truth is that though we think we know what we are about to say, the story tells us and saves us, in the same mysterious way that breathing is always the same but different.
(Nepo)

What will your story be today? If anyone needs an ear, I’ve a phone, a porch, a fire pit. 💙
Peace and love, friends.🦋
Namaste

A portion of today’s brilliant meditation, courtesy of Mr. Nepo:

“..Enlightenment is the moment we realize that we are made of love. At that moment, all fear of living disappears. For Grace comes to the heart when it realizes what it is made of and what it has risen from. In that moment, Grace comforts us, that no matter the joy or pain along the way, we are already a part of where we are going.”🦋
