You may be wondering,

“How does Yoga work to get me out of pain & restriction?” Furthermore—How do we use it to heal so effectively that new possibilities emerge for going BEYOND healing?

Using a trusted strategy like the 26&2, Beginner Hatha Yoga sequence, with attention to the correct technique—the sky is the limit!

Heal first—then keep going. You have nothing to lose! Taking complete responsibility for your health is an opportunity to change your life, starting with the most important person in your life—YOU.

Starting a functional movement practice does so much more than preventing pesky chronic conditions of the wrists and elbows.

A practice like this has the potential to broaden and deepen our understanding of our own power. As we get out of habits that bind us to physical (and mental!) suffering and we go TOWARDS the discomfort so we can face it head on—beautiful new vistas and possibilities open up before us.

It can be hard to imagine that going to the local yoga studio or signing up for my one-on-one sessions can lead you from total exasperation with chronic pain to feeling free, confident, & in the flow of healing/ progress beyond what you think is possible.

It’s a one-day-at-a-time deal, but you can be sure that your efforts will really add up over time.

Keep practicing, Everybody! See you soon.

“Yoga is 99% practice and 1% theory.” - Sri K. Pattabhi Jois

Get out of your head and into your life. Sometimes it’s more challenging and maybe you actually have to put your two feet on the top of your head to remember the way home. 🏠 💞💫

Trust your life and I will, too! Always remember that wherever you are, there you are. I have personally been looking for my true home for my whole adult life. Thankfully, I’ve gotten far along enough in this wonderful and challenging life of mine to remember that I AM HOME.

Crane Pose (Bakasana)—

I’m counting on my friend Google today for an analysis of the therapeutic benefits of this posture. Which..hint, hint, nudge, nudge…there’s so much benefit and so much knowledge at our fingertips and within us. It’s a shame there are still so many people still living with a lack mentality. Yes there are many problems in the world but they almost always stem from human beings…getting in our own way.

Dolly Parton says “the answer is always Love.” Lots of other great figures and leaders in our time and before our time echo this sentiment. Am I sad today? Yep. Am I still showing up for myself? Yes. There’s no choice and also what a privilege and an opportunity to respond to the mucky stuff by continuing to redetermine to train, to have faith in human beings, to regard it all as training so we may continue to polish our lives 💎

Here are some of the benefits from practicing Crane Pose(thanks again Google!):

Physical Strength

* Strengthens the wrists, arms, and shoulders for joint integrity.

* Activates deep core muscles: requires powerful engagement of the re**us abdominis and transverse abdominis.

Spine and Hip Flexibility

* Stretches the upper back: shoulder protraction releases tension between the shoulder blades.

* Opens the hips

Neurological

* Improves balance and coordination

* Builds mental confidence: Overcoming the fear of falling forward cultivates self-trust, presence, and focus.

* Stimulates the nervous system: The intense concentration required creates a calming effect on the mind

Getting Real (Part 2)—

I had the fortune to have had this awesome business coach for awhile. This guy was a wealth of information and experience with this incredibly relatable approach to helping others. He made it all feel so easy.

Everything about his presence said,

“Oh, hello there! I’ve just emerged from the earth at this crucial moment in time to give you the world’s best boost over the fence. I can see you’re quite small in stature and I’m ultra aware that we all need support to make it through this life and accomplish our goals…so here you go, Friend…”

That meant everything. It’s true— we all need support to get over our fences and to make it through life on this planet with all its obstacles and challenges.

For those of you who also believe in the importance of preserving and protecting human goodness…just wait.

Those people are out there and they’ll emerge when the time is right so make sure your eyes are open and you continue to practice and train so you’re ready to receive what they have to offer.

To the ones who are into using their power and authority for the sake of upholding human beings—please know how important you are! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for preserving the things that make life worth living—because it’s going to take more than a village at this point to move things in the direction of human happiness!

These things are:

-Education
-Music
-Art
-Culture
-Diversity
-Healing & Wellness

Love y’all! Keep the faith. Create positive wonderful alliances with people who share your values. I smell a Renaissance of the human spirit a’ coming! And still it’s up to us to see to it that we focus the activities of our daily lives on seeing to it that this kind of revival occurs.

And ya know, all this lofty stuff I talk about… Remember-it’s an Inside Job.

Are you a potential client?

Or, are you fitness or yoga instructor who wants to deepen your practice and learn what’s needed to develop your OWN private client base?

This is the type of content you can expect, so you can easily do one-to-ones, work in a clinic setting, or offer workshops at your local yoga studio.

I want to also give a shout-out to Simon Borg-Olivier for being such a wonderful influence. I met and trained under Simon when I was in India in 2018. His work inspired me and opened my mind. In his presence, I felt seen and cared for in all the right ways. Studying with him also precipitated a period of major personal healing, which was not easy but totally worth it. I am so very grateful to you for your influence, sir🙏🫡🧘‍♀️

And to Bikram Choudhry, the man who originally propagated this amazing beginner Hatha Yoga System. What a gift 💝. The work he’s done brought to the forefront the profound therapeutic benefit of Hatha Yoga. This enabled thousands of people to heal their bodies while understanding it’s primarily our own job to make the changes so we can get out of pain and feel better.

Thank you, Boss…not only for continuing to do your guru’s mission— but also for helping a worldwide yoga community understand why we shouldn’t throw the baby out with the bath water 🙏.

As I navigate the various challenges and relationships, I make sure to ask myself the important questions.

Like,

What is valuable to me and do my choices align with my values?

What is value to me?

Is the lens I’m looking through the same lens as the people who are directly related to helping me form the kind of life I want for myself? Do our values actually align?

Am I able to let go of relationships and situations that aren’t a match for my values without judging or persecuting the other?

Isn’t it okay that we are all different, and isn’t that our true strength as citizens of the United States? Diversity can be our greatest asset as a collective if we are only willing to decide that we want to win together, rather than winning over one another.

It’s become really obvious to me what happens when we allow the darker facets of our human nature lead the way. If only we could all just get behind the idea that profit ought to used as a vehicle to create value together for the sake of dignifying our lives and becoming happy…wishful thinking? Maybe..

I understand that I can’t make people see it my way. We are all on our own trajectory of “Becoming” and there are different lessons & experiences we each need to have to get there and fulfill our unique role in the mosaic of everything that is.

Ultimately, there is nothing I can do except put my best foot forward, trust the process, keep the faith, and do my best to demonstrate a winning LIFE CONDITION.

I have a lot to offer, but I am also learning how crucially important it is not to give myself away. Because there is one thing I am certain of. The way of the heart is worth fighting for and preserving. There’s nothing inside me anymore that says that to lead from your heart means sacrifice. To me, Love means preserving what is essential, to determine and re-determine to make choices aligned with my actual values…so the creative being who is alive and kicking inside of me can continue to carry our her work in this world, at this time.

There ya go. Authentic share from a well-meaning Yoga Teacher in this time that so rich with opportunity to create value together ✨

Helen is a twice a week Yoga client. She was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis decades ago. This is not easy work for her. She made a choice to take complete responsibility for changing her life in the face of the influence of her MS symptoms. This is no walk in the park. I have so much respect for this woman, and I am amazed by her firm resolve and commitment.

She’s really doing the work & making the lifestyle changes with…quiet resolve. She stopped eating sugar recently, and she’s feeling it! I’m happy I can be there for her (it can be really weird when you start making significant changes.) Significant shifts in how we show up with ourselves leads to different outcomes. It’s a bit-by-bit, day by day process.

I went through it, too. I had a terrible eating disorder for 14 years and other self-destructive tendencies to wrangle with. For me, that time in my life represented RECLAIMING MY PERSONAL POWER, & I hope the same for Helen. I showed up for myself profoundly at that time & it set me up for decades of motivation to pay it forward.

Helen wants to be a Yoga Teacher. No doubt anybody out there would benefit from her influence, so I cheerlead this on the regular. She already IS a teacher—whether or not she moves forward with that..she’s already winning. The other stand-out thing about Helen’s life is the brand of LOVE around her. Her relationships with her family & friends are second to none. I can’t help but tear up when she tells stories..the strong love that flows between the people in her inner circle is..wow.

Here is a “Helen gem”💎. We were talking about how to deal with challenges with people we care about. Juicy dialogue opportunity! I often seek guidance from my older women friends who have attained more mastery with this part of life.

We were talking about KINDNESS. Specifically, the importance of “killing others with kindness.” This is one I personally struggle with at times. I was raised on “tough love.”

Helen said,

“My mom always told me you have to learn to tell someone to go to hell, and make them want to go.”

CAMEL POSE 🐫 (Ustrasana)

This is the deepest backward bending posture we do in the Beginner Hatha Yoga 26&2 Sequence.

Are you a brand new, beginner level Yoga Student? Are you interested in doing some one-on-one sessions to get out of pain, feel better, and move better? Please do send me a message. I’d be happy to show you the ropes.

The 26&2 Beginner Hatha Yoga sequence is an incredibly effective, time-tested Functional Movement Strategy designed for beginners. This movement system is especially effective for people with back pain and knee pain.

As your teacher, I endeavor to enable you to get rooted in your own sovereigntyas your own best healer and teacher. When you understand the principles and techniques for intelligent movement, a whole new world of possibilities opens up before you. You become someone who is no longer dependent on someone outside yourself to be in charge of your health.

Taking the reins on your own health and wellness also means your doctor, therapist, body worker will be better equipped to effectively and successfully SUPPORT you.

The truth is, the kingdom of health is yours to build. No one can do it for you. This can be a really tough lesson to fully embrace. Scaffolding is important, sure…but nothing beats using your own nervous system and brain to do the work of taking yourself to the next level in your Health & Wellness journey.

DM me today for a free consultation. If it fees like a fit, we’ll get you set up for your initial session.
