“There is nothing stronger in the world than gentleness.” - Han Suyin

Gentleness is not a sign of weakness but rather a deliberate choice to remain calm, kind, and patient in the face of adversity.

In a world that often equates power with force, choosing gentleness requires resilience and inner strength.

It has the power to diffuse conflict, build trust, and foster deeper connections, making it a transformative force.

How have you used gentleness to overcome adversity?

Meeting Melissa Urban, co-founder and mastermind of the new Whole30, was a dream come true. Not only has the Whole30 forever changed my life, but Melissa’s plethora of knowledge and allyship have been instrumental to my positive outlook on my mental health. Among other things, Melissa showed me what sobriety looked like, and ultimately, the Whole30 was the catalyst for that change.

It’s been two years since I’ve had a drink of alcohol.

Choosing sobriety is a daily challenge, demanding unwavering commitment and strength to resist the pull of familiar vices. My relationship with alcohol is not perfect, but I’m committed to sustaining my sobriety as a means to give my son a better life and to show him that being sober is cool.

Thank you, Melissa, for creating a program that continues to improve people’s lives worldwide. I know my life is forever changed for the better. Cheers to two years of sobriety. 💙💙

We have a ✨7 ✨year old.

My Son,
It’s an honor being your father and helping you navigate through this crazy world. We’re so blessed to have such a kind, intelligent, and caring young boy. Please don’t ever let anyone put out your flame.
Always speak up for what’s right. Question authority. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Learn from your mistakes. Love wholeheartedly. Floss. And never forget you can usually go faster alone, but you will always go farther together.

I love you more than you can imagine. Thank you for choosing me. 💙

Love,
Da-birdie

My teacher and colleague, with the important reminder.

When I first met Kaya during our 300hr YTT, she inspired me to think about (and perhaps reconsider) my yoga teachings. I realized how far from YOGA I had taken my teachings. I learned from her and the rest of the amazing teachers of this program, recalibrated, and went back to the basics.

Catch and Jason (.yoga) talking about his challenge and how he is trying to change the faces of yoga. 💜
Instagram LIVE, Thursday, 3/3, 1:30pm, PST.

During several of my yoga trainings, I came across a concept called
✨”non-attachment.”✨
This might be one of my favorite teachings.

To me, there are a lot of beautiful (and sometimes difficult) lessons to learn under this umbrella of non-attachment: ✨Everything is temporary. ✨We are not our possessions. ✨We are not our relationships. ✨ We are not our careers. And, perhaps my favorite…✨ Love liberates✨

“But, Erik, are you telling us not to care about our things, relationships, and careers?” No. The opposite, in fact. I’m saying that I believe there is power, comfort, and peace in understanding the impermanence of it all.

How do you practice non-attachment in your life, yoga practice?

Obviously, there is a lot going on right now. But, seeing families separated because of all this breaks my heart. Can we do better? 🇺🇦
