We learned how these were the parts that resulted in solids, liquids, and gases. My science teacher's voice faded into the background as I stared at my desk and imagined all the space in that "solid" which I couldn't see. I gently touched the table; it felt solid.

First day here in my new space at Yoga on High Teacher Training Institute. Filled with joy and deep gratitude. My first client said she could feel how healing this space is. It's a deeply nourishing space, with beautiful energy that has been nurtured by Jasmine Astra-elle Grace and all the teachers, staff and students here

This morning I was invited to host and lead the meditation portion of the Thursday morning chant & meditation at Yoga on High. I had an early morning greeting from Mama Moon as I started on my way to the studio, and Holly from the Bhakti Mamas carried that vibe of greeting into our shared kirtan, then meditation. Such a beautiful way to start Thursdays ❤️

Jasmine Grace will return next week to host with Holly (and often Abby, too). Come join this beautiful practice!
